Pic of my bike not far from Glen Coe today. 

 With my shifts changing to constant days Mon-Fri next week, the prospect of a mid week blast is fast diminishing, so took advantage of a rare spot of sunshine and the temp. touching double figures at a sizzling 9-10 

310 miles of some of the best roads to be had and never seen plod all day.     
Surprisingly though, very few bikes were out, did pass a couple of Gixxers though, totally taking the piss steaming into a town full tilt. 

Next best thing to a track day

bloody beautiful mate ... I love Glen Coe  stayed there with the Reg a few years back did a bit of cycling up the Mountains 

[Kwakaholic]

 Glen Coe Rocks  ..... Scotland Rocks 

 done nearly every road some of em, arf a dozen times.  Try the road over the Top ... where the skiers go, can't

 remember the name, its manic    .   Only ever rained a couple o times in four weeks of visits....

 Think we should have a whip round, buy the place, and put fence from Dumbarton to Dundee !!!

That's been tried, with Hadrian's Wall   
Roads today were awesome, Glen Coe itself though was tricky, the surface was breaking up leaving loose shit all over.
North of Fort William though, it's empty, save the odd bit of wildlife

Glen Coe and Rannoch Moor are great bits of road

[Kwakaholic]

 Yea Ditto ! know what ya mean about the roads ! ..... not sure whether its us lot rippin' up the tarmac      or the timber lorries and the rain  n shit etc

My fav road is through Glen Coe and head through Fort William past the Commando Monument, then head towards Inverness. Turn off at Invergarry and head to Skye, then back and over to Applecross, then home again.  
 Marathon run but can be done in a long day if the weather holds. Hot bath needed after though. The road from Invergaryy to Skye is like short circuit riding  

Glenn, how do you get the pics up without the link. Computer dummy chum so keep it simple  

[GRNINJA]

Cool Glenn, thanks for that. Knowledge is power!
Nice one Kwackaholic, was the road you can't remember Glenn Etive?
If you are coming up again post it up and I'll meet up. If any you guys need a stop over going North, we should be able to put you up. Just give a few days notice.
