That didn't quite go according to Plan.

[Baldy]

10/05/2021 All packed up ready for the 10.27 to Inverness. Setting out to do the Badgers Divide Trail, 338km from Inverness Castle to The Kilvingrove museum mostly off road.

27ish hours later



Crashed half way through the second day, just above Invermoriston. Didn't quite make it around one of the hairpin bends.

Ouch
Hope you heal quick and get back to finish the tour.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

 

[alicat]

Ouch! How's the bike?

 

[Sterlo]

Ouch, recovering myself. I thought this was supposed to be fun. Hope you're okay.

 

[fossyant]

Ouch! How's the bike?

The bike will be fine - he's got Ortlieb (air bag) panniers (saved my bike a few times).

Heal well OP.

 

[Baldy]

Ouch! How's the bike?

Derailleur is out of line a little.

Get well soon!
Badger's Divide Trail; that sounds interesting... Off to Google .

 

[T4tomo]

I've had worse scratches picking brambles, can't believe you've abandoned!

*more seriously, that's bum luck and get well soon.

 

[Deleted member 1258]

Ouch! Thats a bugger, heal quick, heal well, then get out and finish it.

 

[chriswoody]

That's really rotten luck. Hope it's not too bad and you get chance to get back on the trail sooner rather than later.

 

[HobbesOnTour]

Ah, that's terrible! You'd been planning that for a while, I think?
Hooefully nothing too serious and you won't be out off giving it another shot.
Best of luck

Bikepacking The 321km Badger Divide | Inverness to G... (outdoorsmagic.com) There you go, they did it over three days and didn't camp. Where I had planned for five days and camping.

Hope you're feeling an improvement today @Baldy .
I did some reading up on your proposed trip yesterday, and have to say that it might be somewhat beyond my capabilities!
Who knows though; I might just be crazy enough to give it a try at some point . Hope you recover quickly and that you can resume your adventure in the near future.

Hope you're feeling better today.

That route looks amazing, I'm not jealous at all! I really hope you get chance to ride it.
