Anyone do any biking round scotland?

[titan666]

Hi all

I live in the western highlands near tongue ,and was wondering how many forum members make it this far up?.

I see bikers of all sorts up this way as i'm on the tourist route,and see many nice bikes too,either flying past or stopping at the local viewpoint/cafe/b&b.

I might have even waved at afew members as i've past you:)

Its a nice area round here for the roads and views,and popular for those doing long tours,so if anyone wants a nice tour destination then check out the area and i might see you around:)

I could recommend some nice facilitys/views etc too.

fuels not cheap though!, so if your up this way then fill up outside the area ,( inverness/edinburgh/wick etc.)
Once you get into the small crofting villages the price gets steaper!

Take care and ride safe

steve

Hi

yep its stunning riding around the roads and taking in the expanse of landscape and mountains.

and if anyones up this way ,try going towards durness as the roads are great...

some you can see miles infront of you ,and you can open the taps on corners:)and get amazing long stretches of pure fun!!

steve

Its a nice place to live too! and when i want to take a spin, its just a matter of which direction

Aye I've got the same dilema in the west, went for a wee run today, better half on pillion, 150ish miles, and a few hrs later got back home, weather very warm and sunny, Kinlochewe to Glen Affric, wish I'd taken the camera for pics, the road and views around Cannich and Glen Affric are stunning

I dont mind devon/cornwall

i used to live near ottery st mary in devon but moved back as it was a pain in the arse having my partners dad turn up to live with us:)

if you ever pop up this way pop in to a place called weavers b&b!
nice people/nice food/and great views and good walks for when you want to stretch your legs along the beach:)

I like the occasional bimble, heading over Applecross Way in the not too distant future I think.

Our club tries to get up to Durness at least once a year.

You'll recognise us. We're the ones piloting a motley assortment of older sports bikes with sports racks and tents stupidly fast up the road from Ullapool on a Saturday evening.

Then very slowly back as far as Scourie on the Sunday because we're hungover and are running on fumes, having hit reserve on the single tracker going into Durness (70 miles from the last stop).

Aye!

can agree scotland has the most amazing scenery i have ever seen.

I thought i had seen it all when i went to north wales and snowdonia national park but when i went to scotland i simply fell in love with the scenery.

I would actually leave england and go live in the highlands if I could secure a good accountancy job....pah if i won 1million on the lottery i would retire and live up there....no more police sirens...no more tense londoners....no more serious crime.....just open space, roads, wind, rain and sun...ahh the life.....

Yeah midges are a bloody pain in the arse!!!

I wouldnt move back across the border if my life depended on it!

Its just the death defying sheep that you gotta watch!mad bloody animals who stand at the roadside and suddenly decide to play chicken at the last minute!

Trust me you can see it in thier eyes when they are about to leap out!
and that menacing grin!
