The Riverbank race from Glen Nevis into Fort William. I really like this race! The weather was dreadful - wind and driving rain, which meant that there were raging torrents pouring down from the mountains. The route is not entirely clear, but involves finding the best way you can, through bogs, rocks, and eventually on a good firm path and a road, back into town. It's the race everyone loves to hate. Roll on next year! Had a good run and finished a wee bit quicker than last time.

Warm-up on the road.

Commute.

Exploring the top of Barcaldine Forest to see if it could be bolted onto the top of the Ardchattan map to give some easier courses. Nah. It needs to grow another 20 years. An impressive gorge up there though.

Lunchtime - bike path to Ganavan, up to the main road and back to Dunbeg. Mark was setting a good pace.

Commute. Clear, icy morning. Saw the otter in the bay before Dunollie Castle.
