Scotland : The Highlands CC Ecosse Lochs and Glens Tour #CONFIRMED#

[Pat "5mph"]

Morning all!
What a great trip, thanks so much for organizing oh all encompassing, intrepid, patient leaders @Edwardoka and @Fubar
You both brought out capabilities the Belles can't believe they had, not even now after returning home safely ... we were a bit emotional on the train back
I'm back to my normal hyper self after 15 hours sleep in spite of having had 3 double espressos and 2 instant coffees yesterday
Will edit the numerous pictures later on, and of course write a full report ... might take some time
I cannae believe I rode up all them hills, hardly walking any!
Ciao for now!

First day report uploaded here.
I'll finish the rest later on, poor BigCat is going to the vet this morning, he didn't get any better while we were touring.

Aww, you should have brought BigCat with you in a trailer! (and you still would have been quicker than Catherine )

Was I tying my shoelace, or looking in my pannier for a snack.........

Random fact + wanderlust + post-touring-blues + curiosity = the discovery that Team CC Ecosse rode a complete section of EuroVelo 1.

I like the way you're thinking.
After accidentally doing a LEJOG, I laid the map of Britain on top of the map of Europe, it was quite a revelation to discover the possibilities that were within my capabilities..
Go for it!

How does one accidentally do a LEJOG?
"Hmm here I am in Penzance with a bike..."

Next years' tour...?

Next years' tour...?

It is getting a bit late in the year to be embarking on a several month tour, yes.

I told someone the story about @snorri and his accidental LEJOG at the weekend - you must have been racing at the time...
