Handcycling the Highlands - Inverfarigaig Loop

A spontaneous video I made while out cycling today. No particular topic or substance, just cycling.
Maybe watch it while cycling yourself. Maybe put it on to distract your child or pet from chewing the carpet (again). Maybe just enjoy my suffering.
But enjoy!

Amazing ride in between the trees and sunrays going through them (my zen place), what a day, Scotland truly shines in the sunshine. Amazing editing as always (wish I was this smart). Your roads are so good up north, here in Fife it's pothole galore, I don't even know how'd you'd ride a Carbon bike here lol.. Love the speed, what was your top speed? I would totally die without a motor trying to ride like this.

Think I hit about 65km/hr on the descents. I couldn’t have done anything like this when I started either. It was still an exertion for me, but you’d surprise yourself with what you can achieve with slow and steady work

@@Queenmania2007 WoW, jealous, fun fun fun! There's genetics too, even with work I'm extremely weak, was always like this since I was little, that's why I hated sports, I was constantly mocked for my weakness 🙂

@@DerelictusAnima genetics certainly play a part, but I’m definitely not gifted in any way. I tire easily, struggle when it’s steep, don’t win any races etc. but with consistency and discipline everyone can train themselves to be stronger. My constant struggle is to use only myself as a comparator - it is too easy to wish you were as fast/good as “x”, when really you should strive to just improve yourself. That’s my approach anyway

[@DerelictusAnima]

@@Queenmania2007 That's the most logical and sound approach indeed. Once you start comparing yourself with others too much and taking in what you lack too much then you actually start doing bad instead of improving because of how down that makes you (at least from my perspective).

After coming back from a short bike ride, I've taken a look at your channel Danny . It's great to see you are cramming so much into your short time living with sci. I'm glad to see you've got the cycling bug, it's done me no harm at all. Being an (Old) tetra, who has always pushed the envelope, I expected elbow and shoulder problems and I do have them but it's mainly manifested in pain, it's easy (ish, on a good day) to live with and has been well worth the experiences. Keep cycling (I'm sure you will), here is one of the videos from my channel.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqmWpHalrZJsoLc
