While the weather was not great on Sunday, it was dry and relatively mild, so a short morning blast was needed. Rode from Inverurie, through Alford, Tarland, Ballater and Braemar, before returning on the South Deeside road to Milltimber and then cut across through Dunecht and home again. I only saw two motorcycles on the South Deeside road from Braemar to Milltimber..
