My HT550 (very long)

Here's my take on my first attempt on the Highland Trail 550 (unlikely to be my last).
Be warned, it's quite self indulgent and very long.

Enjoyed that Pete.
Do you look bit like MCA from the Beastie Boys?

Ha ha !
Well I can't quite see the resemblance myself, but thanks anyway
Edit - I've been informed that you're not the only one to see the similarity.

Good stuff. I really hate midges so if I do the ride next year I'm hoping that it's cool enough for me to go full length trousers and long sleeve top.
NO SKIN ON SHOW, EVER.

Well done, Pete!
Really entertaining. Midges were bad this year but only 1 night caused me real trouble at Kinlochewe sharing ladies toilet with Pavel Machacek

Yet another cracking read. I think I was the numpty who crashed next to you on the Ben Alder descent - also bent the RD, fortunately I got to Lagan before Bothy Bikes closed!
