    If I remember right there’s a bit of a climb from Lochcarron over to the foot of the Bealach Na Bà / Applecross climb, and then the constant up and down around the Applecross peninsula after the climb is brutal!
    Even though I’ve only ridden it once, this climb holds huge significance for me. I started riding in spring 2012, and tackled this about 1 year later in 2013. It sparked my real love for cycling, I even got it tattooed on my left arm shortly after I broke my left wrist in a bike crash… my cycling highlight tattooed over my lowest cycling moment…
    Unfortunately my friend who got me into cycling, who convinced me to do this climb, and took me on the ride, died as a result of suicide a couple of years ago which affected me so much.
    I’d love to do the ride again now that I’m a better cyclist, and as a tribute to my friend.
    Thanks for sharing this video of your ride in such an incredible part of the world!

    The climb is called the Bealach Na Ba which takes you over to Applecross on the other side. Some times referred to as the Applecross pass but BNB is its proper call sign.
