Bealach na Ba bike race

[Burdekin]

Myself and two mates are doing a race down Bealach na Ba into Applecross. It has a bit of a twist, maximum size bike is 16" wheel size.

Ace road

Lightweights... you should do the descent on the other side .

Seriously excellent piece of road that - are you riding to the top first?

But we're going to the pub.

Nah too easy, not worth bothering with the uphill bit. ;-)

I was going to say I'd be more impressed if you'd said you were racing up the Bealach......

I can hardly pedal it sitting down, that would be some leg and back burner.

Squat lobters drowning in garlic butter, with crusty bread. Nom nom NOM

Did the race on the weekend, bit cold and slippery. Speed wobbles at about 40mph.

You're bonkers!

My mate in the yellow was bonkers, twice passed the lead car, once he went onto the gravel to get past.

It looks quite fresh up there.

Yeah a bit chilly. My mates want to do another one in January somewhere. I've ditched my bike, will need to get one with vee brakes that work next time.
