The tiny road to Lochinver was still white with frost but little real ice. The route twists and turns, climbing up onto moors strewn with lochans and fine views of the Assynt peaks capped in snow. Towards Drumbeg on a long hill I felt the electric assist get less and less, then it clicked out altogether. The Assynt peaks from the Lochinver road. But it had been well worth the effort to make the most of a glorious January day just a week after New Year.
