Training Log Archive: Tullster

Kintessack to Raigmore for work. A bit of faffing so a bit late in leaving. step forward tailwind. Not super stropng but strong enough to make this a blast

Raigmore to home. First time doing this. Quite hilly in places. A really nice route on quite roads on the whole. Only pain is the bit of cycle path which is as expected - crap! Not ideal for a road bike but didn't fancy the A9....
Pretty tired by the end but OK

Another blue sky day. Just warm enough for top and shorts. Home to nethy - bridge of brown - tomintoul - Glen Rinnes - Carron - Archiestown (wee cafe stop) - Dallas - Kintessack.
We live in a great part of the country. lots of great views and some nice birdlife. Mostly just steady pace but pleased to be able to pick iit up for the last section

Thursday night train of pain. Effort from Loch Inch to Kingussie/Ruthven barracks. then pairs APR from Loch Inch to Coylum. Pleasantly surprised at state of legs though a bit of tiredness

Day off so long ride with a crowd from A&E plus a few paramedics. Started just north of Ullapool and did a long loop taking in Inchnadamph, over hill towards Kylescue, cray coastal road through Drumbeg then on to lochinver. Quick pie stop then home past Stac Pollaidh. Quite a day! Some fit riders with serious several £K full carbon aero bikes and smashing it along for plenty of segments. I was struggling at times to keep up on the flat but managed to drop everyone on the biggest climb. Drama of the day came when 2 guys had a nasty high speed crash. Cue one broken wrist and one broken bike. Could have been worse but bad enough.
So....a bit of a dampner on an otherwise great right. shattered by the end
