Scotland

The crew spent the past few days riding the West Highland Way route up across the Scottish Highlands. Filming definitely throws off the riding rhythm to which Matthew and I have become accustomed, and the miles and technical nature of riding has been tough on Hunter and Mike, so we've been making the necessary adjustments to accomodate all we can. Last night, mechanical and timing issues forced a short train ride for half the group, giving Matthew and I the chance to rip the last 50 miles of the trail into Fort William, though it meant we only could squeeze in a few hours of sleep. But the sensations of riding across the moorlands below peaks silhouetted against the full moon or the faint orange glow of twilight until the wee hours of the morning will not be soon forgotten.

Now we're off to pedal to along Loch Ness and on to Inverness. Here are a few photos of the riding so far...
