pitlochry aftermath thread (write up added now)

Christ I'm knackered, possibly more words later. Knee is louping, slept throught most of Top Gear, I think that was a good thing although being woken up by 'Land of Hope and Glory'...

Good to see some new faces, missed some regular ones though. And it seems I've come home with a blue bar that doesn't belong to me...

Pre-ride random wandering

The lightest steel bike of the day. I know which one I prefer

Pitlochry to the right, or a horrible slog up the fire-road to the best single track of the day?

Kaiser dreams of boating, if only he had a canoe... Rob, are ye listening?

Time for hame...

But munchies, beer and blether first

I was so shocked I felt I had to gently overtake you.

A grand day out, sore bloody wrists and hands from all that ali rigidness though.

My high point was keeping up with Rado on one of the climbs, only to be totally toasted on the long one and end up blowing out my arse. I won't make that mistake again.

Brilliant day guys, big thanks to Gaz for sorting out the weigh in, votes and prizes. Great day and so glad we made the climb up to craigower. The views were amazing and the decent was immense, and a little hairy at times.

Nice to see so many new faces, and a few olds ones too.

I called in at the escape route shop, and the guys gave some really good advice, they also have waterproof maps of all the local trails, kept us on track. A visit of the shop is recommended if you are in the area. Would be a fantastic lbs to have.

Davedh, thanks for the suggestion, shame you and velo couldn't make it.

I think Kaiser got a cracker of two of them attempting a high speed landing on it. To be fair it makes it look like we had an arctic adventure but in actual fact the cold wasn't that bad after the first few minutes.

Used one of my freebies already.
