Is Skye the limit?

Whilst the sun was having a rest day, the temperature continued to remain high and so the Bigman took the opportunity to go climb training on Cleish. A round trip over 20 miles, the focus was on driving the drive chain hard whilst remaining seated on the saddle. Four climbs of Cleish later and a not insignificant amount of fluid expended, he returned to Dunfermline satisfied that he had 'enjoyed' a nice taste of the weekend 'fun' to be had on Saturday's 95 mile trip around the northern peninsula of Skye. The topography has more ups and downs than an episode of Coronation Street. Bigman and Ironman are hoping for 6 hour time over the 9913 ft of ascent.

The Bigman is just hoping the Tacksman has used all his ammo on the Etape :-)

The flights to South Africa were booked today and so we are another step closer to John and Dereks Epic caper on the Cape Epic 2010.
