Looks like rain all day tomorrow in Scotland, i'm in Edinburgh and not looking forward to the commute.


Do you have stops planned? Edinburgh is a hot spot for theft just now, if you are stopping here or close by then please bring security, they are targeting guest house and foreign bikes.


If you are heading along the A84 passed Tyndrum there is a massive police presence there now, stick to all 30's and keep the eyes peeled.


Enjoy, and hope the weather is kind.

Yeah route all planned couple of nights around mid Scotland looking forward to it. Thanks for advice over security and doped cameras will keep this thread updated with some pics etc push off tomorrow at 8.15am no doubt it will be in the rain which isn't ideal but it is what it is.

Had a disastrous ride yesterday in 220 miles of rain got into Ayr early as there was no point in prolonged rain. Got to the b&b showered warmed up and out for a few beers. Off upto pitlochry via fort William hopefully find some good roads
