What to do with a few days off?

[jonny jeez]

Decision finally made; I'm off to York. Driving, with MTB in car. The weather looks like it will be marginally better than here (cold, wet, windy, as per usual).
If any of our Yorkie members hear a ping from a proper brass bell on an orange Trek MTB; say hello .

Damn...too slow.

have fun

Largs to gournouch, (spelling) then ferry across to Dunoon and onto the lochs, ride 30 miles around loch Eck, to Inveraray and stay in the beautiful loch fyne hotel (that'll blow your £150). Then ride up and over to Dalmally along the shore of Loch Awe and around to bender loch, crossing the mouth of loch etive and on to fort William (on the new smooth road) via the commando monument to Loch lochy and loch ness.

I enjoyed this route in 2014. Just beautiful.

I know you are local but you can see it for yourself here.

Looks good that; another time (when it's not RAINING!!!).

Cycle over to me and sort the gears out on my hybrid and MTB - both are running like a bag of spanners!
Then you could get the train to Inverness and start cycling back! Sorted

One day down.....Mods, can we change the title of this thread to 'What to do with 5 days off?'

No need for a mod.
I won't be editing for each of the next 5 days though!

Exactly. Hence the drive to York.
