Sadly, the last day of riding on this Scottish tour has arrived. Again we follow this beautiful ride through the lens of Scott C - thanks Scott! - as the group visit the Scottish Crannog Centre on the banks of Loch Tay to get some help with interpreting Scotland's earliest heritage.
The last leg of this journey take the riders back to Edinburgh through the Trossachs National Park and past The Wallace Monument - another lovely and enjoyabale ride to the end at the Firth of Forth, where it all started 10 days ago.
Lang may yer lum reek!

And the fun continues in 🏴 Scotland 🏴!
After finally slaying the monster, the group rides from Loch Ness to Pitlochry, skirting the remainder of the famous Loch in the morning and then riding past the Caledonian Canal, which was constructed in the early nineteenth century to connect the East and West Coasts of Scotland.
Some more extraordinary scenery is captured through the multiple lenses of Scott C as they ride through the Cairngorms Mountains and, of course, drop in at yet another distillery.
This country is just SO beautiful!

Did you know that today is World Bicycle Day?
In 2018, the United Nations General Assembly declared June 3 as World Bicycle Day, to recognize "the uniqueness, longevity and versatility of the bicycle, which has been in use for two centuries, and that it is a simple, affordable, reliable, clean and environmentally fit sustainable means of transport."
Being the frontrunner of the modern day motorbike - we salute that!
World Bicycle Day further draws attention to the benefits of using the bicycle — a simple, affordable, clean and environmentally fit sustainable means of transportation that promotes economic growth, especially in less privileged societies, helps in the fight against climate change and bolsters physical and mental health
So go on, pedal ya bike - its good for ya!

Did you know that the month of May is motorcycle safety awareness month!
Being aware of general best practices when it comes to protective riding gear, is something we feel strongly about, as the appropriate riding gear can be a life saver should it ever need to be relied upon.
We also subscribe to the acronym "ATGATT" and thought it a good idea to share this article on advrider.com, illustrating the benefits of riding with armored riding gear.

Riding in the Gobi, things can change very fast - as illustrated here from Rany Ly's helmet cam. When the wind picks up, it is amazing to experience just how fast a dust storm can roll in, and reduce visibility to virtually zero. This wind ended up being so strong, that it blew Rany and her bike over when she stopped! She was fine and luckily it ended up just being a lot of fun.

Want your business to be the top-listed Travel Agency?
“In 1992, I was a university biology student taking external studies courses while on safari in Kenya’s wonderful parks. We were 56 students crammed into a nose to tail convoy of seven minivans. Through the dust near Lake Baringo, my eyes focused on a group of three BMW motorcycles grossly overloaded with spare tires and jerry cans of fuel going the other way. From my much too small seat in the van I peeked up at my first glimpse of a motorcycle being used for adventure travel. This was the way to do it! This was independent travel at its liberated best.
I stared out of the window and daydreamt about how much better travelling by motorcycle would be; no queuing for bus tickets, struggling with train timetables, or being at the mercy of a public transportation system that did not care much about the public it was transporting. The motorcycle would be at home on dirt roads, highways, and trails. It was faster than a bicycle, but not as hermetically sealed as a car. The limited carrying capacity forced the luggage down to its most basic elements, and any subsequent needs would be sorted out on the road with a healthy dollop of creativity.
Being a penniless student, I did not fool myself that the motoring lifestyle that had just passed us would be available to me anytime soon, but perhaps someday…..” (From: The University of Gravel Roads)
Ten years later, I was the Communications Manager of Colorado-based RockShox and had the world by the tail. Just before leaving for a month-long motorcycle vacation from Colorado to the Arctic Circle in Alaska, the company was sold and I was told that many positions, including mine, would be transferred to Chicago. After due consideration, I declined the position but agreed to stay until the end of 2002 to help with the transition—after returning from vacation.
With a fledging romance, a work-visa that would expire with my job, and an unplanned period of unemployment, I had much to think about during that trip. A chance meeting with two riders from Colombia in a ferry lineup in Alaska planted the seeds which would change the course of my life. They convinced me to take a year-long trip to South America, but with empty time stretching out in front of me, that idea grew to a multi-year trip around the world. Why not? I might not have this opportunity again.
Financing such a venture was the biggest constraint. I had no idea how much it would cost but a little research would give me a good idea. I came up with an ambitious plan to travel for three years on a budget of $25 a day. It required selling my house and all my material possessions to generate the needed cash, an exercise which revealed just how ambitious that plan was.
On October 5, 2008 I pulled into Kitsilano Beach in Vancouver, completing a circle that had taken me 154,000 kilometres (95,000 miles), 41 countries and five years. I thought back to how green I’d been crossing that first border into Mexico and how my perspective had changed.
I’d learned that the world was full of loving, generous and honest people. I’d learned how little money it took to be happy on the road. I’d learned that the more of myself I shared with the locals, the more they shared with me and the more I rode away with. I’d learned that the simpler my life was, the more I was able to enjoy it.
The travelogue of that ride, The University of Gravel Roads, won the Bronze medal in the 2010 Independent Book Publishers awards, the 2010 da Vinci Eye award, and was a finalist in the Eric Hoffer Award for Short Prose and Literature
While riding in South Africa, I made a last minute decision to head south to Capetown instead of north to Yemen. There I met Colette, someone you I would remain in contact with during the final two years of my travels, not knowing where the long distance relationship would lead.
I started Renedian Adventures in 2009, and Colette and I married in 2010. Our eldest son Jacques was born in 2012, his little brother Francois following in 2015. The family settled in Summerland, BC, Canada and ten years later we still take adventure riders on tour in all my favourite places; Southern Africa, Mongolia, South America and Canada.
