ill need to go home ,no you dont said keithy ,ive got the zaskar in the back of the car ,bastards muttered rob ,
so re-biked off we set
i elected to go up the road way its a bit quicker than the other off-road routes
it was a peachy morning ,blue skies and sun with a gentle (warm) breeze
the road was a little icy tho

so did i

then off to the top ,it was at this point that we really started to notice the wind ,it was a mite fierce to say the least , the trudge thru the snow field
was fun then we started the main asscent , the west lomond is steep
so steep in places you can lean on it ,add the gentle breeze and things got interesting ,real interesting
at one point bikes were sails the next we were being pushed up the hill
so much so that shed got on his bike and was blown to the peak (missus)

so at the top we munched boost bars and haribo were straffed by gliders
spectacular to say the least

the return leg was a mix of water mud and hi-speed

at one point the only dry bit of me was the inside of my mouth

brilliant fun
a mini epic adventure 5 miles from the house
