New direction, new roads, new switchback.

Drumlanrig.

I'd forgotten how much fun the trails at Drumlanrig are. The word rooty and the term old-school are often banded around when describing them, i would add big grin.

Quality.

If only bikes could speak.

Passion.

I've mentioned before that the Sprinteur ranks lowly in my list of personal favorites, the genres of Grimpeur, Baroudeur and Rouleur all held in higher regard. This however is a great compilation of someone who, personal feelings aside, deserves some respect. And while we're on the subject of genres, how an article entitled Baroudeur could fail to mention Vino is beyond my belief.

Col de Gifford.

More accustomed to sunnier climes my aforementioned Italian friend not only accompanied me on a non too summery sunday morning ride but also did me the honor of taking this photograph with his modern apple phone.

Post.

I had the pleasure of photographing and chatting to the illustrious author of thewashingmachinepost last week at the Nocturne. Not only was he bedecked in apparel fitting the occasion and appropriate to his journey from Islay, but he was also a very friendly, approachable and humble gentleman. If i'm ever able to banish the childhood holiday memory of a horse called Mortimer trampling on my dad, i must make it back to Islay one day to partake in the award winning ride of the falling rain, mmm or maybe the gourmet bike ride would be more to my liking.
