\nI enjoyed a great cycle ride on Saturday in the north-west Highlands. Having taken the bike bus from Inverness, I began my ride in Lochinver on a fine and sunny day.
\n<\/p>\nUnfortunately I had forgotten my sun cream, and I have the red (and sore) arms to prove it!<\/p>\n
The ride was fantastic, though, heading around the coast to Stoer, Drumbeg and almost to Kylesku before heading back on the ‘main’ roads to Lochinver. It’s a seriously hilly ride and takes a fair bit of stamina to get around it but what a day I enjoyed.<\/p>\n
All the wonderful Assynt hills were in full view, from the magnificent Silven to the dramatic Quinag, which this circuit loops around, never far from sight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
