Well after a minor mishap on Friday night when I fell down a set of stairs and hurt my back and elbow I was slightly concerned how my week-end would turn out. Having set out for a ride with Tony on Sat and another with Grant on Sunday I left the house with some trepidation and a lot of crossed fingers - a trick I picked up in Ludlow 2 years ago!
Set off from Avoch and met Tony in Beauly, cycled out for a nice lunch of soup and toastie at Cannich. Fed an d watered we set off again heading for Drumnadrochit (passing the notorious hill and not even considering it at this stage) we arrived at the Nessie centre where Mr. Kelly purchased me a strawberry ice cream complete with strawberry sauce.
Off again down the A82 which was full of happy motorists all waving their fingers at us (local custom of greeting so I believe) we made our way into Inverness where I branched off for the night and left Tony to make his way back to Beauly.
Sunday morning I had a re-think, back was pretty sore so I wimped out of the day ride and instead had a little 20 miler back home. Good to get out on the road at last and looking forward to another one next week-end! Meanwhile in Egypt Keith will be browning himself and acclimatising for the West Coast weather......
