Yes there's still two and a bit months to go but I doubt that anything's going to come close to last Sunday's ride from Lynwilg, near Aviemore, to Carrbridge, known locally as the Burma Road.
Starts with an enormous climb with magnificent views over to the Cairngorms
Swings NW but keeps going up
And up
And up
Reaches 2000 ft before dropping down into the gorgeous River Dulnain
Looking back up river
Swings off NW again
Before joining one of Wade's roads SE to Carrbridge, including this handsome bridge over the Dulnain at Sluggan
What a day
