Weather Set Fair

We finally had a great day, weatherwise, up here so me and my mate went out a run. 220 mile loop from Home to Arrochar, Inveraray, Crinan Harbour, Oban, Dunoon and the ferry home. The roads were relatively quiet with it being a working day for most. Got home around 7pm tired but happy. The only very busy bit was the last 1/2 mile down the hill into Oban as it coincided with school and work finishing .
On the way up, I kept thinking the auld bike would love this road, but that last half mile, nose to tail and the road too narrow to filter, I was thinking my new clutch would be fried on the auld bike.
Here is an alternative to the usual 'gloves on seat' photo as well as a traditional 'gos'

Forecast to continue today, and as the better half is working, I may grab the T160 out the shed

Well it did stay fine, and the T160 was taken out the shed, and I had a wee 60 mile round trip on it. Not too long, but long enough for a coffee and cake stop
