We had to book a camping site in advance because of the popularity of these games and got lucky to get a perfect spot at the Silversands Campsite near the beach. The next day we went to the Highland Games just across the street. Next to their bus, a group of bagpipers were practising and… Continue reading Arisaig Highland Games

Kyntire
The ride along the eastern coastline north of Campbeltown is amazing, though hilly at times. We pitched our tent just next to the Arran ferry at the beach near Claonaig. I hadn’t heard about the isle before but it looked inviting. The water was also inviting and we didn’t mind the cold temperature too much.… Continue reading Kyntire

In the evening we went to a presentation of two travellers before retiring to our tents early. The next day we all made our way to… Continue reading Leitrim cycling festival
cafayate
We had received a recommendation for a hostel which is quickly becoming the cyclist hangout in town: the Huayra Sanipi. It turned out to be a stroke of luck and soon all plans to reach Mendoza until christmas were forgotton. Five kilometers from town starts a trek to a series of waterfalls along a steep valley.

friday night ride
we started with a small group from b2w and met with other cyclists at a central building. more and more cyclists joined, mostly decorated with blinking lights. the motto was ‘kelap kelips’ and almost everyone was illuminated like a christmas tree. photographers on the way took pictures of the event. drivers seemed to be already… Continue reading friday night ride
