Once again, we woke to a rainy scene outside our window, but today we planned to ride 26 miles from Fort William to Invergarry, so we couldn’t avoid it any longer. The six of us stuffed ourselves with the traditional Scottish breakfast then separated our things we would carry for the ride from the rest of our belongings which would be transferred to the next B&B by van and finally saddled up to start the first leg of our 79 mile journey.
This is the only picture anyone took during the ride, and it was during the one section where we walked, because the road was too rough and it wasn’t worth risking flat tires. Fortunately it was only ~200yds long. Continue reading James’ Monster Ride
This was just the beginning of a great feast at Mader’s German Restaurant in Milwaukee, WI. Thanks to MK for insisting that we stick around for the afternoon to see downtown and eat some great German food at one of his favorite restaurants. The food certainly didn’t disappoint, the service was fantastic and the building has some great history. Highly recommended!
Rachel and I had been wanting to go for a short bike tour this Spring, so National Bike Travel Weekend was the perfect opportunity! We decided we would do an overnight trip to Cape Cod and back, initially planning to carry camping gear but starting South of Boston to make for a relaxed trip. We were delighted, though, when our friend Ashley told us she had recently inherited a bike, was interested in joining us, and that we could stay with her grandmother in Brewster!
