Another Scorcher of a day and a mid morning 1 meter low tide was ideal to go for a play on the expanse of exposed rocks around Barnes Ness and east at Skateraw.
Time to use the Surly Moonlander again for its advantages. The bigger contact patch of the 4.7" `Big Fat larry` tyres and 4" wide rims provide extra grip of this bike on wet slime covered rocks which is quite amazing. All this area i have ridden on the Pugsley and it managed fine. It is just not as absorbent on the techy rocks and has slightly less grip on that treacherous green slime on the rocks far out near the low tide line. The Moonie is more comfortable to ride on bouncy terrain. again that drag felt on tarmac disappears once it is in its right environment.
I need to do another post on how the bike is going, and what has been swapped out/not worked etc and my findings with some parts for beach riding.
I need to ride down here more often as like Gosford Bay it is near deserted once away from the car parks...
East Lothian slick rock!...
Some film, been a while since i used a tri pod, doing so allows leaving the sound on with out lots of contact noise, adds a bit to the atmosphere.
