Tomorrow I tink I'll wander over the Pass of the Cattle, going via Loch Ness, Invermorriston, A87, Strathcarron & Lochcarron.
Return route to be decided.
Here's hoping the weather Gods are with me

Sorry mate, I'm covering on call for Gleaner oil & gas Ltd. I'm off Sunday and Fiona's working so might manage a few miles on Sunday?
Most of us are tripped out following Ullapool from last weekend!
I'm not, just covering for my Inverness engineers on call. See you soon mate.

Followed the route I mention in the first post and only took a few photos . . .
Obligatory stop next to nice little castle . . . .
Same castle from different view point . . . .
Another obligatory shot - note ABR sticker :whistle: Then up the hill . . . . picture taken at cloudbase. Didn't go any higher - I've ridden this road with near zero vis and it's fecking scary :S
290 miles on latest set of wheels in varying weather and changing road conditions. Never had anything with this riding position before and whilst the power / ride is fantastic, the riding position will either become a non starter or I'll grow to endure it - spent too long riding large traillies methinks

You just need to get your bum off the seat, drop your elbows to the tank, tuck in behind the screen, get your knee down and you'll be fine
1 week, 3500 miles doing a lap of Spain and two full runs along the Pyrenees from Bilbau to Andorra and back on an SP1 and no aches
