Well, the ABS might be bugging me but not enough to spoil my enjoyment of a great wee ride out in to the hills. Through Deeside and up in to Cairngorm, past Ballater, stopped for coffe from my thermos and a snack at Balmoral and then up through Braemar and heading for Linn of Dee but it got a fair bit colder and snowflakes appeared so I called it a day at Marr Lodge and headed for home. Lovely roads, mostly dry tarmac and warm enough to have a bit of confidence; the autumn colours are at their best and my mind cleared the further I went - could have ridden on forever.

Cheers

They're impressive old beasts if you can find a bit of open road
