Gas_Up_Lets_Go is on a distinguished road
toada ? should have said 'road'..... bl00dy phones!

It was on the B851, around Aberarder I think. They were eating some road kill and took off in front of me. Those roads put an end to the effectiveness of my front tyre, can't take slow speed turns now, it's seriously scalloped.

We had a cracking day on Saturday taking the old pass over to the Kylerhea ferry then the pass down towards the Five Sisters. We road some lovely single track and some cracking steep accents and descents.

Sundays ride was, well,,,,, interesting to say the least with the Skye Bridge 'Closed to high sided vehicles' and the side winds on Rannoch Moor taking Keith sideways faster than his forward motion, we had interesting times... like the old Chinese proverb!

I think we uncovered a flaw with the Magadan soft luggage though, I was riding reasonably true, but Keith was being caught by the wind much more, scarily more. (for reference, I had a roll top bag, Keith had magadans). I've never noticed the bike being 'caught' by side winds with the ZegaPros' quite as much as Keiths' bike was.
