Over the Easter long weekend, Matt and I, and David (friend from Matthew's work) and his son Ben, had four amazing days of Mtn Biking in Scotland exploring the 7Stanes (a series of 7 Mtn Bike tracks the Forestry Commission has set up on the South West Coast of Scotland).
We stayed in a cute little 16th Century B&B on a Farm in the middle of nowhere which was just perfect. Sheila (host), was amazing and her cooking: just brilliant. Good 'ol Scottish Breakfasts each morning which helped us get through the 17-25 km rides we did each day. The farm was the perfect place to come back to after a days riding.

After expecting forcasted below freezing weather, rainy and yucky, we were delighted to wake up each morning with the sun coming through the window. While the weather was still below freezing, there was also loads of sun. The conditions were excellent. On a couple of the days riding, it snowed like I've never seen before. Huge powdery flakes came down in sheets; it was absolutely gorgeous.
I had been really really ill with English Flu (in bed for 10days, couldn't eat or walk), and so was amazed at how well I held up for the four days. I was only expecting to ride for maybe one day at the very most, but I felt fine for the whole weekend. I was a little weaker than usual in terms of fitness but nothing like we all expected. Praise God! I'm feeling loads loads better now, almost 100%. It really was nasty, I've never been that sick in my life! Just awful.
Anyway, here are our photos... and our youtube'd vid's... Enjoy!
