a real cracker of a day up here, so decided to load up the car and head off to the lovely Strathconon to pedal a track i've walked on before, but never got to the end of (my nose has always bothered me!)

Re:

after a few miles the good track ended, and a smaller track continued, ALL uphill, so onward and upward i went, cursing the fact i had no granny gear!!

Re:

the views were spectacular, stunning weather, and the only souls i encountered all day were 6 big stags who'd obviously spotted me in the distance, i didn't manage to get them on the camera as they were too far away unfortunately.

was a wonderful day out on the old Alves, pushed it half way up the hill, then left it to get the best views.

then it was downhill almost all the way back to the car!

epic :D
