Re: Cairngorm loop May B/H
*ello* I was a little zoned at that stage hadn't really digested my two full fat toasties from Glenmore. Nice too meet you though :) Yeah, it wasn't something I'd even thought about - I just turned left and went on following the little purple line. Figured I'd driven up, wasn't in imminent danger of...

Re: Cairngorm loop May B/H
Well that was a bit epic. As said, I bailed to the outer loop at Glenmore. Original plan was to do the whole thing in one, so figured, why not and rode/pushed round the rest of the route. I did not bail down Glen Tilt, hence I claim a DNF* :) It got a little interesting at around 2am when my drivetr...

Right, I've re-packed the bike, added in some extra warm bits and some more food.
Ready to roll.

FS: Salsa Fargo 29er Fork
Surplus to requirements as I have a nice carbon Firestarter fork on my Fargo, and put some bounce on the El Marachii where it had lived. It's the same as this one: http://www.charliethebikemonger.com/salsa-fargo-v2-29er-fork---great-for-anything-cages-1382-p.asp There is 160mm of steerer left - so m...

Re: Cairngorm loop May B/H
Had a nice evening chat with my wife over concerns with rivers and snow levels. Her words "If it gets crap just turn around and ride down, or back" . So, I'm going to throw in a pair of Primaloft trousers and stick to it. As Steves email says, if it's bad, outer loop TT. At least riding SS...

Re: Highland Trail 2015
I may of course retract that comment when I curl up into my soaking wet sleeping bag in the Fords of Avon refuge, unable to continue either forwards or back, sobbing quietly I'll think of you when I'm in my tent in Blair Athol after a few nice drinks in the pub. If I get up and it's crap, I'm going...

Re: Cairngorm loop May B/H
Hmmm... ok. I think we will probably travel up. But bring running/walking kit with us as well.
Will make a call when I get up there.

Re: Highland Trail 2015
Looks like I'll be along for the first day this year - not racing as I can't take the week off sadly - but looking forward to seeing you all off and riding with you for the first day at least. I'll take the bigger camera out and get some photos. Also, it looks like I'll be your official scratch cont...

Re: Cairngorm loop May B/H
Does anyone know if there was much snow to come down on the route? Where are you camping? We're going to stay in the campsite in Blair Athol. Pauline is coming up too so she's going to do some road rides from there, some runs too. I may put up a tent on Sunday if back in time to make it worth while....

Re: Cairngorm loop May B/H
I'll be there.
Wife will be along to poke fun at me afterwards and hopefully feed me cake.
Any plans for a pre-ride beer the night before?
