Myself & Colin (AKA Fatchap) have booked an extra night at the bunkhouse on the Sunday, anyone else doing the same, or going to be around for a Sunday rideout? Not sure where to go yet, probably best to watch the weather and decide on the Sunday morning. John O'Groats looks tempting though, I've never been - 148 miles from Aviemore, along the East coast according to Google. Is it a worthwhile rideout?

Took the front wheel to get ballanced (got a noticable wobble at about 40mph) and when I took the calipers off noticed my brake pads probably won't make it to Scotland and back [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

A good run in the north east is:Start Aviemore, A95 to Grantown on Spey - Aberlour - Keith, and Gordonstown, B9022 to Portsoy (a lovely 18th c harbour, A98 to Huntly, A97 to Rhynie and Bellabeg, A944 to Cockbridge, A939 to Lecht Ski Centre - Tomintoul and Grantown on Spey, then back to Aviemore. Distance is 175 miles. If it's wet in the west and the north this would make a good alternative as it's drier in this part of Scotland. Can some clever clogs turn this into a map as the one I've produced I can't upload for some reason.<!--quoteo(post=176967:date=Mon 6th Sep 2010, 11:00 AM:name=Matlock)-->QUOTE(Matlock @ Mon 6th Sep 2010, 11:00 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><!--quotec-->Myself & Colin (AKA Fatchap) have booked an extra night at the bunkhouse on the Sunday, anyone else doing the same, or going to be around for a Sunday rideout?
