Cycling up to Orrin reservoir now. Been caught in a couple of showers but when it clears the views are phenomenal!<\/p>\n

Tarmac track up to the second dam, then it’s 4×4 track all the way so far.<\/p>\n

Home now after tiring day in the saddle but superb ride! Track leads down past Loch Fada into forest then out to Strath Glass, then we followed the back road up to Beauly and Muir of Ord.<\/p>\n

I’ll put more photos on Flickr once I’ve sorted them out!<\/p>\n
