Myself on the Long Haul Trucker, Brian on his 60's Dawes gravel machine and AJ on Brians 29'er Voodoo.
Brian had said AJ is up for the weekend and do I fancy a road ride, keep that in mind, road ride.
Rode out from Brians at Dingwall and headed towards Conan Bridge and then over many hills, to eventually double back and come down into Strathpeffer for cake and coffee. Mostly gravel tracks and dirt roads with a bit of unavoidable tarmac here and there.
The terrain was very varied from wide forestry roads to very tight singletrack to in some parts no track at all :)
We left Strathpeffer for the ride down the valley to Dingwall, a much more direct and flattish route compared to the very hilly route to get there. We followed the new Peffery way for a lot of it with new walking paths connecting old tracks for a good few miles, then one of Brians more interesting routes, ie; no track sections before crossing the main road and following the farm tracks and roads back to Dingwall.
Myself and Brians son AJ think that Brian is really the Doc from Back to the Future as his motto should be ' where we're going we don't need roads'
Another great afternoons ride on the Long Haul Trucker with great Macleod company. Always a pleasure.
