Default Re: Bibio's Sunday Bimbles

Hi and sorry to butt in, and divert ..but..I'm hoping someone can remind me what was that road we used to ride out west of Loch Lomond.. the one that was renowned for giving your two wheels an involuntary lift in the air..always fun..I think it was near the green welly maybe?..ended up at a loch front small village?? Do you ken the one I mean? Was it the A83? And what was its nick name?? Memory clearly not serving me well..must be getting older..and having been outa Scotland now for too long. Good to see you all still at it! Miss the ride outs much!

that'll be the Garelochhead to Arrochar (wibbly wobbly). https://www.google.co.uk/maps/dir/56.../data=!3m1!4b1

tight single track road with lots of bends and crests.

depends which way your going on the A82 from Balloch up is ok if you take in the wibbly to the A83. going down the A82 from Crainlarich is better but still nothing spectacular.

now if you want a spectacular road then it has to be A816 Connel to Lochgilphead if you can get a good run at it.

inveraray to tindrum A819/A85 is fun

answering removed post that was above..

Yeah I double checked and I'd got the wrong road.

Yep I got in at 9:36. But I did come home via Kielder and had a comfort break at the view point.
Kielder in the evening sun


Thanks for organising another great day Bibs, you really spoiled us again.
Lets hope we didn't frighten Graig off a return

I had an absolute blast nice meeting you guys, and ill defo be down for another one! (without the offroading mind...)

re-watched my off, and no idea what the feck i was doing. likely corner fixation as you suggested Lance, wasn't going fast, just clearly wasn't paying enough attention to the change in the corner.
MEGA lucky... about 5ft after i rejoined was a nice rocky drop into the field...
