This ride/epic trip was made possible due to the excellent preparation and behind the scenes planning by @The Hodge. The lodge was spot on. There were no serious mechanical issues and it was a blast from start to finish. (except the hike a bike up to and over the Col to the start of the Annat decent, var nigh killed me 😂)
Well done mate and thanks again.
 
As I’m working in the Peak District this week I thought it would be a good idea to take my bike.

Yes I always take a toy. Many moons ago I got a job at a refinery in Pembroke got 3 days and they paid a 1000 of us off. 530 miles from me. I had took bike and dawdled my way home so went to Coyd brenyn ? first for a blast , The Karrimor trail and red bull were the famous ones back then. Someone there said why don't you go to Glentress i had never heard of it . So had a blast round there . Marin mount vision was one of the top bikes then. Round about 2001 i am thinking not much Internet info then bike magazines , how did we manage. Enjoy theres nothing like exploring new areas.
 
A short bumble along the old railway track this morning from Killin to Callander. Only went as far as the Glen Ogle viaduct because my fitness is shite and my battery was getting low.
The wife forgot to charge it up, she says is my responsibility, I said what’s the point in having a wife then. So now as well as my shoulder injury I have upper body bruises and sore nuts. 😂

Just make sure when you go to bed tonight there are no garden shears anywhere near ..😂
 
I may come to regret this but I ask you to conjure up your own picture.

Last time out, I was aware that something was not quite right in the shorts department. There was an unsightly bulge at the front, but also an odd slightly uncomfortable feeling in the saddle area. Anyway, I was too busy riding to investigate further.
Then I stopped for a pee!
What's this? The waist band of my padded shorts was much higher than usual at the front, and what's that white tag?

Yep, you got it. I had only gone and put my padded undershorts on back to front! :ROFLMAO:

When I look at them, I still can't believe that I didn't notice as I was putting them on. I mean, front and rear are markedly different. What a Muppet! :giggle:

I seriously almost had to stop reading this. A bead of sweat was about to develop on my forehead and horrible images were about to appear.

Thank goodness there was a “soft landing “. 👍🏻🥲

Aye obviously she disna go on this forum or you widna be saying that. I had a lovely 4 days in Callander a few years ago. I just had a touring bike though. Lovely area though.
 
Don't give up on it already ..bound to come again ..but that's a very nice sea kayak 👍🏻
Haha yes love a bit of pessimism though. I had a good paddle Sunday really tired at night though , just not out enough . It's tattier if you look closer 11 years old now though cheaper maintenance than the Ebike though.
