Had a fantastic week, big thanks to Madhat and Jim.Amazing scenery and 3 ace rideouts,wasent all wet plenty of dry roads and sun on the thursday and friday hope i can make the next 1
Hey, we missed a trick
We should have had a tank to pour the collected water contents of boots and gloves into...(bit like 'it's a knock out')...we could have run a tote on the volume of scottish rain collected lol
Also anecdotal observations suggest some of the ALDI & LIDL biking stuff really came up trumps on this trip having been tested to the nth degree. I'm thinking santa's overboots, jim & wacko's thermal belts and brit's all in one waterproof suit
Thinking about blackberry's comments about how good her waterproofs were, maybe we can pass on some info to other bm'ers about really good gear as our stuff was tested to...errr...saturation. I know some peeps had really quite expensive gear that was a tad disappointing while others had cheaper stuff that performed really well
My ancient, third hand buffalo jacket was ace and i love it to bits
Hi all. Apologies for the no show! I was on Skye and planned to head over directly from there on the Sunday but had to leave Skye on the Thursday due to a problem at home and couldn't get away after that.
