Bike/raft packing ‘58 style
I’m not going to apologise for posting a ratsarse video as The old boy is a good mate’s/longtime cycling friends dad. Cycling unaided (proto bike packers?) RSF expedition in Iceland.

Oh man, I’ve led you up the garden path, it was 1973 at Carnegie Hall. Here is a quote from that gig: A 1973 performance of Four Organs at Carnegie Hall in New York City nearly caused a riot, with "yells for the music to stop, mixed with applause to hasten the end of the piece."[5] One of ...

Re: Any Inverness dwellers past or present
Can be a bit provincial (if you hear the locals talking about "traffic jams" you'll know what I mean). The (understandable) lack of road infrastructure means that if there’s an accident on the A9 north then traffic is diverted through town and everything grinds to a standstill. The bridge...

And now this has sent me down a particular road. I first came across this in my late teens or maybe I was twenty. I just loved it, something about that particular set of notes (I’d call it a scale but I think it’s probably modal...). Anyway, it was the first time I was conscious of the Spanish scale...

Re: What do you think about when you are riding?
Some times I ride to ease my mind, others to cease it. I have ridden across the country in order to ‘clear’ it of the clutter and onslaught that I bring down upon myself. I find the repetition of movement eases me and helps me ‘think’. I have often made important decisions on the bike (others walkin...
