Conditions a bit more variable today. So much so Coe actually received a couple of feet of snow the night before! This is also the first time I’ve ridden Coe in May (previously Nevis Rage was the only location boasting this fact). What had been a brown lower half of the hill had been transformed […]

Glencoe, Friday 29th April, 2006
An accident, closing the A82 forced us to take a diversion via Inverary adding half an hour on to journey time. However it was a cracking day and the scenery made it easier. Once at Coe we had a great time on soft spring snow. Sun was streaming and temperatures were hot. However the upper […]
