scottish meet up 2018 (5-7th Oct 2018)

[Stolichnaya]

Maybe work. She generally swears at me in German.
I'll see if she wants to come but don't think she's too into it. Especially on the Gsx

[Blubber]

From what you shared with us.... Don't push it 

Besides... Don't think my liver would survive a drinking session with "bean"

Don't even start by saying you weren't thinking it tho ... !

Something in the water eh!!

[KiwiCol]

Nah mate, nothing in the water here except bloody chlorine!  Just started adding it as a temporary measure (yeah right!) while they fix the well heads.

Or any one else interested in this ? It can be cancelled .

Been and spoken to the hotel this afternoon just to say hello and let them know we are coming .
They will convert the twin rooms to doubles for the couple's
They will keep a space for our bikes in the car park next to the rooms.
The car park is just past the hotel heading north 20meters on the left round the back of the hotel we will use the 2nd car park.   
The bar is open till midnight both nights with longer for residents if we want 😜(Just remember the drink driving limit is lower up here than in the rest of the uk)
The restaurant is available there looks a good selection and reasonably priced with last orders at 8pm .
If we want to eat after 8pm we can sort out nearer the time.
Was thinking of booking a table for 7pm on the Friday for everyone as a get together welcome.(if you don't want to be included just say)
The owner of the hotel has bikes and happy to assist us with our weekend.

We can go for a ride out on the Saturday so ideas welcome (The direction might have to be weather dependant)
Loads of great roads and scenery in any direction .

[Blubber]

 

Would be rude not the visit the forts nearby  and go to sky....

But that on my Thursday / Friday list 

[Hooli]

I'll have to look at a map & think when I'm not meant to be working. Should be quite possible to do some decent riding from there.

[Hooli]

I've just had a quick look, it's not far to the A93 Spittal of Glenshee that is an excellent road with a cafe at the top in the ski centre. We could workout a lap of Cairngorms including that without too much hassle.

Depends how far people want to go?

[seth]

Was thinking of glenshee then up to tomintoul .then back down the A9 .There are also a good few distilleries in the dunkeld area to so it would mostly depend on the weather as to which way we go .

[Hooli]

A889 into the top of Dalwhinnie is good too from memory, would be easy to add to your loop if you've not thought of it.

Funny you should mention that.

In my notes:


A93 to A939 - Perth to Kinloss .. stop at Lecht Road .. the ski centre 


Best to do without a pillion or other luggage.. road surface was testing the limits of the suspension.

Guess thats the saturday sorted
