Still going!

On a different subject tho' just had a meeting with my boss and they have agreed to me taking a month (maybe more) off work next year to do the TAT. If any of you Ullapool campers have ridden (or thinking about) it please come and find me (White Tiger XC) so I can ask stupid questions


Cheers

Dave

What is the weather forecast for Ullapool for the rally then?

Sent from SYDland.......

I'm not canceling....but im not sure I'll make it to ullapool.

I set off on Sunday, bike fell off the stand in the lake district and bent the bar risers!

Then I noticed a 'pattering' feeling in the front, don't think I've tightened the head bearings enough. So this mixed with a fully laden bike and 60mph winds is making the bike handle like a pig on roller skates.

Then yesterday morning my neck / shoulder locked solid, it fookin kills. Ibuprofen all day, hot showers, deep heat and staying in B&Bs is just about getting me through. But I can't see camping as an option

In Oban at the mo not felling too great.

So I'm taking it day by day...hopefully see you all at ullapool, or I'll be passing you all on the other side of the carridge way heading home

If you make it to ullapool , maybe someone can help you adjusting the head bearings.

Careful Out There .
