Sun August 9th 2015 - Randonneur ride with Brian


Another grand day out with Brian yesterday :)
I headed south as Brian had mentioned doing a road, some gravel ride around the Black Isle way. A nice cruise and some lunch out etc. The weather gods changed the plans somewhat and we ended up doing a big loop type ride, Dingwall, Muir of Ord, Beauly for lunch then a gravel ride through the hills to Marybank, then more of the gravel I know to Strathpeffer and then off road to Dingwall.
A bit more off road than I anticipated but nothing the LHT couldn't handle. The last bit of off road was a track that's overgrown and boggy even on the Pugsley but it was even worse this time through and the trucker made it but my legs didn't like that much stinging nettle and thistle damage.
The second half was cool to ride on the Trucker as have done it a few times now on the 1X1 and the Pugsley.
The weather gods were kind to us, especially as we could see it coming down to the north and west. With the sun shining on us most of the day, especially whilst sitting outside having lunch.
Thanks again mate :)
Hope everyone else had decent weather and got out for a ride

Come on a bike ride he said, quiet road, might be some puddles and some sticks, but nothing to worry about
