Have not had the time to update for a while due to college deadlines, but here we go.
On the 29th April A dry but chilly day me an Allan set off to the highlands for a bacon butty, long way to go I know but trust me there good butties and there is always a few like minded souls around for a blether. After our pork based snack it was a choice between having a run up to Fort William and a look at the pre-65 trials taking place or Oban and the coast road back to Inverary, and we decided to do the latter, the road to Oban was cracking loads of sweeping corners and scenery to boot and the temp was climbing, by the time we reached Oban it was reading 24 wind temp as opposed to the 11 degrees we had set off in.
After stopping for another snack just outside Oban we proceeded through the town and onto the coast ride, if you want a top tip , don't bother its bloody awful, full of blind single track corners and you just can't relax on it, you are constantly up an down the box an on the brakes, it was a relief to pull into Inverary for a break, we both decided that we wouldn't bother with that route again, after our pit stop we took a leisurely run down to Loch Lomond where the temperature dropped back down again and it started to rain so after a quick stretch of the legs all that was left was a run home to end another good solid run out, which also turns out to be the last for Allan's Tdm as he sold it on and bought a Bandit twelve......
