HiViz on grey days!
« on: September 24, 2020, 07:02:59 PM »



Was another overcast sunrise this mooring.
This is my favorite time to ride....no shadows, and my HiViz jackets pop!
This is an Oxford Rainseal "over-jacket". Cut and sized to fit over your riding jacket. On cold days I wear it over a leather Icon Sanctuary - which in my size comes only in black.
So, I'm armored, HiViz.....and warm! (the Oxford is wind and water proof)

I Lysol the chair and the table before heading across for coffee. Someone put a couch cushion in the chair since my last visit. I placed it in a dumpster.

Is that you in the pic is it Stig. Always good to put a face to the name (sort of)

If we're doing discreet photos of each other......

Another nice moody shot there Snorvey.  Can't beat the Highlands - I take that is Bonnie Scotland?

Yah. Just the local mound.

I'm trying to climb the equivalent of Mt Everest* over 12 months (or at least that was my intention at the start of the year). The pandemic knocked that idea on the head.....or so I thought. A super post lockdown means I'm just  2.19 ascents away. The 0.19 is a real PITA

*There are 2 ways to look at this. Either by adding up all the summit altitudes or, as some wise ass pointed out to me (and burst my balloon in the process), the true way is by the actual climb. With Everest, you start at sea level, most of the hills in Scotland start a bit above it (and are no where near the height of Everest - which is good, because most of them are just a day out)

So this year I'm going to do the former. Next year, the latter. (Virus permitting of course)
