Moulin Moor

Aye, just enjoyed a wee hurl over Moulin Moor, Mrs Big Rob on the GS & me on the X-Tourer.
Always carry a flask of coffee & home-made scones whenever we're out for a run :thumb

Did the old hydro road on our way over to the Killin road. Wasn't as bad as I'd expected it to be - some severe wash-out at the Glen Lyon end, but easily passable on bikes such as ours.

:cool:
 
The very same beasts last week by the house...

I went up that Hydro road last week to see how bad it was, thought it was worse than I expected and I remember it being bad a while back.
 
Went round Glen Shee today.
Busiest by far, I have ever seen it in past 30 years.
What was worrying was the amount of wreckless driving by some cars.
Particularly the foreign number Tesla and a white Audi RS3. Both heading North.
Double whites meant nothing to them, Tesla came close to full head on with a two up biker, I could see he was heavy nose down with an emergency brake.
Scary shit. :eek:
There are some genuine fuckwits out there, be careful. :rob

Was also up that way today, was the first time I'd seen the sun all weekend.

Almost had a head-on near the old Blackwater Inn, car overtaking a camper, me cracking on towards it may have influenced my decision to sell my Duke I don't know but I felt like how Rossi felt today after it.

There was some kinda car rally in Braemar, full of Ferrari's Bentley's etc
 
If possible a lot of these roads, such as th A93 are only worth riding through the week,
 
I'm just heading out now to the Lecht and Braemar (hopefully somewhere will be open for lunch!)
