    Nice little 4 miles on the Speyside Way(Aviemore,Scotland) with the daughter on Saturday night.Managed to blag my way to getting out today(Sunday) on my own and did 13 miles along the "Old logging road" that runs from Avimore to Glenmore,took me a hour to get out and half hour back.

    Got my map from Bothy bikes today ready to try Burma Road 2mor(Monday),bloke in the shop said it should only take 4-5 hours and is simple to follow,going to head out at 8am.

    Also meeting Dave(Biggus) on weds at Laggan in the afternoon for a blast round there.

    I wouldnt mind having ago at Ryvoan Pass at 26 miles but i think that might be pushing it with the other half :lol:
