Skye 2011 Aftermath thread....

Great photos. Looks like there was at least 300 yards of ridable track as well.

Liking Mr Panda and Radek's differing views on helmet wear.

Xizang on the Quiraing - no way Hans Ray!

Wow! TK you make it look so easy!

On the Road to Skye

Waiting for Ken

Ready To Roll

Mr P wonders when he will see the cuilins on the horizon

Obigatory selfish shots

Zigzag tests how far back he can lean without falling over using the extreme no arms method

Rest now as it won't get any easier

Yes, lets go the opposite way to the way the arrow points, it can't be that bad

After this point my photo enthusiasm waned - huge climb loomed and then 3.5 miles of bog, up to knees on 3 occasions.

Jamie did you go out riding WITHOUT a spare tube???????

Day 2 - The Quiraing

TheKen's rocking his missus' shades - was he going for Bono meets Audrey Hepburn? Only his style consultant can tell

Radek hike-a-biking - yes, there was a lot of this, especially at the start

Mr Panda ponders his line up through the next bend

Looking southwest back towards the start of the Quirang - Cnoc a Mheirlich on the left (I think)

One of these is the Needle, or maybe they all are, they all look pretty jaggy to me

Round the bend, heading north under the ridgeline now

And the start of the (almost rideable by mere mortals concerned with death) singletrack heading down towards Flodigarry

Scrambling down the hill towards Loch Hasco after missing the path

Amped up to be back on the trail, we crank it up a bit for the final section of flowing singletrack...

... going so fast we set the heather alight whoops Time to go home, methinks

Aaron - magic photies

I'll get some up later - she's got me diggin' 'oles in the garden now :facepalm:

In rock :facepalm: :facepalm:

Oh and the screaming shits I have today reminds me that Zebra Burgers might taste nice but might not be the best thing to buy from a van on the top of a scottish hill.

amazing pics and very envious indeed, mind you looking at the route think my body would have failed anyway

Im surprised you even thought that was a good idea TK :shock:


My brother in law was just round and was looking at the pics,he's astounded by the quality of them .
Left muttering something about buying a bike

Awesome!!!! Really jealous chaps looks epic! Cannae wait to see some more pics. Could I trouble someone to make a wee triptych of the first pic and the TK vs Hans Rey ones? Its for the monthly doodah.
