Highland life

Well, as we sit here in the Clachaig Inn in Glencoe, supping a pint after a meal, life is good.

We had a very short 35 mile day today after yesterday's ascent challenging route, which was very welcome. Just a few showers, but a fantastic run up from Oban, which has to have what is probably the best purpose built cycle route in the country.

So there were highland cows, castles, sea lochs and snow capped mountain peaks.

When cycling in the rain, we have been wearing our over trousers, and Andy has been holding his trousers tight at the legs with his 'lucky' elastic band. I had to console him today when 'lucky' snapped. He was gutted. 20 miles on though, his smile returned when the careless postman has dropped one of the red elastic bands that we all find mysteriously appearing near our front doors !!!!!! The simple pleasures in life :-)
