Blinking in the morning sun, thinking what\u2019s to be done
Is this really the land of the kilt?
The e-bikes are humming, the landscape is stunning
And the gorse still lies like a quilt<\/p>

Yes, the egg-yolk is spilt, more golden than gilt
While the heather\u2019s still bare and drab
The first climb is hot and they\u2019re off like a shot
While I crawl up like a crab.<\/p>

Then we cut through the shade of a beautiful glade
The climb ahead merely a dream
But partway to the top we\u2019re brought to a stop
By a nymph getting out of the stream.<\/p>

Tom and Lucy\u2019s news comes out of the blue
A little one due in November
Will he have a bash at growing a \u2018tache
Or is that too much to remember?<\/p><\/div>

At the top of the hill we have our fill
From Claire\u2019s mobile food emporium
Then it\u2019s chocks away as we head down the brae
Am I glad I came, oh I am!<\/p>

From the blind summit we start to plummet
With not a care in the world
Till an overtaking jeep nearly puts me to sleep
And a stream of abuse gets hurled.<\/p>

Our hearts go boom when we hit Loch Broom
Everywhere green, gold and blue
When we round the bend it\u2019s sad to end
Two weeks pedalling somewhere new<\/p>

We\u2019ve done 500 miles, had more than that in smiles
Twas fun, we laughed, had a hoot
If I have my way, we\u2019ll do the same next May
Just need a while to plan the route.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
