I took my MTB for a trip from Fort William to Inverness (ish) this weekend. Nothing too technical, one particularly hideous climb and a lovely dinner in Fort Augustus.

Unrelated but any top tips for buying parts online need new brake pads and chain.

The hardest part of buying online at the moment is trying to finding somewhere that has the items you want in stock :(

Sadly this year it's just trying to find something to buy. Some stocks are incredibly low - it's almost worth just running single speed :-/

Fort William to Inverness sounds fun - which way did you go? Or rather, which tracks did you use?

Mostly GGW.We took the low route options on day 2 - it was still 5000ft of climbing.

whatever you ride, enjoy it :)

Gravel also welcome :)

Also, is 26 dead yet?
