"You don't spend much time at home do you"!
That was the common response I received after arriving home from our Argentina / Chile trip in mid April after indicating that we were heading off again in early June ! It's a tough life !
While the Bod is still reasonably capable I'm up for any trip it as long as it doesn't involve hills. Back to Scotland and the Outer Hebrides eh ..
Our first trip to this area was way back in 2011. It left an indelible imprint on my brain (more precisely a scar !). In 6 weeks of cycling it rained for 4 of them. Combined with temperatures in the low to mid teens (farenheit that is) and gale force winds it was mighty hard yakka - lucky for us it was their summer !
This trip I've placed an early order for warm temps, tailwinds all the way and most importantly no rain .. hopeful or what !!!
Despite the small comfort issue I'm really looking forward to again experiencing the spectacular, rugged and isolated countryside complete with quaint villages.
As a bonus we'll tour (at least for a short part) with our great Pommie friends Kev and Julia, friends that is until the Aussies whip the POMS in the cricket world cup this time without any sandpaper !
Safe riding for all, see youse mid August !
