My last three have been very different.
About a month ago I did part of the route of the Etape Caledonia a few days before the real thing. Beautiful course along Loch Tummel to Kinloch Rannoch. I lost my map out of the pocket on this section and took a wrong turning missing off the Loch Rannoch section. Ended up a few miles short so carried on up to the Killiecrankie visitor centre to make sure I got the metric century in. Rented a Giant Defy from Escape Route in Pitlochry for the day and it was a nice ride. A bit heavier then what I was used to with Tiagra level kit. Not sure of the retail price but if anybody wants a decent bike to get started on this would be a good reoomendation.
Missed out on the tack laden course as well.
About a week later I cycled from Stonehaven on the coast to Braemar via Glen Tanar and a hike a bike over a ridge. 67 miles on a full sus mtb with super views.
Last weekend was out with my mates into the Peak and did 64 miles. Had ot ridden with them since mid April as I have been away or doing some mtb events. Was nice to get on the Principia again and was riding better than I thought I might.
