Day 10 & 11, The Isle of Skye

20120903-201016.jpgThis is what it takes to ride in Scotland, on a cold rainy, windy day which has been everyday for the entire trip. From left to right, a jersey, then a nylon vest, then a thin windbreaker then a fleece then a raincoat, plus a hooded rain helmet to keep my head and ears warm.. Thank goodness my legs don’t get cold because I only had shorts, (leg warmers for everyone else), gloves and then the best part, I ride with sandal bike shoes and at the last minute threw in two pairs of socks. So I rode with basically bare fee covered with thin socks. Todays ride was the closest call I’ve had with a great crash going downhill, I slid on the gravel and water and just held on for dear life. The last two decents I walked down, just couldn’t ride down anymore today.
