I have decided to put the video (edited of course  ) onto you tube in parts, as its rather on the large side. Video is lower quality than the original and best viewed at 1280x720. It comprises of the last sections from both Saturday and Sunday. Here's part one: Here's Part two: Here's part Three. |

Very good
What's interesting (I think so anyway) is that despite riding that route, that day, I have no recollection at all of any of the roads.
I guess I just enjoy the moment - unless something exceptional occurs.
What do you edit the video with Chris ?

I edit it with PowerDirector 8. The only downside is it seems to like codecs that dont easily play on other people pc's. |

I guess I just enjoy the moment - unless something exceptional occurs. What really stood out for me was the difference on the Dufftown-Tomintoul road on the two runs. We weren't meant to do them twice, but my Tomtom threw a curve ball, and there was no way I was going to try and turn 20 odd bikes round in that wind. The road on Saturday was fantastic, but on Sunday in the wind, it made it feel like a completely different road. More a battle than a scenic run  The route we should have taken was more sheltered and slower but maybe a few trees would have blocked it |
