Imagine a route that traverses one of the most famous mountain landscapes in the world by bike, foot and boat; a journey that covers just over 100 miles, including a marathon-worth on foot; a journey that takes in some of the most iconic locations and amazing views in the Scottish Highlands: Loch Ness, the Great Glen, Ben Nevis and Glen Coe.
Scotland Coast to Coast is a truly defining journey through the mystery and lore of this ancient landscape and is one of the toughest races out there!
So with this in mind a huge congratulations goes out to our very good friend Andy Blow from www.votwo.co.ukwho took first place with our very own Anthony Foy taking joint third place with another great friend Dave Blow. All three are pictured above together (L-R, Ant, Andy, Dave) having crossed the finish line in the Expert class at the Nokia Coast to Coast Race . The guys were on a mission not just to finish the race which would have been a great achievement itself but to come back knowing that they could cross some of Scotlands wildest and toughest landscape faster than anyone else out there! They simply dominated in the Loch Ness paddle section taking the 3 fastest splits of the day in there rather special ‘customised’ surf ski kayaks.
Good work!

Battistinis, Nokia Scotland Coast to Coast . . . . . .
Around the shop here we are all rather passionate about custom motorsickles to say the very least. We much prefer the idea of making every bike that little different from the last and also the next thank knocking out everything the same! However the bikes are not just what we are all about. Through all of the staff here we are passionate from vintage car restoration, aviation, fashion and god only knows whatever else!
One such team member here is as much into his CNC as he is into his CC’s!CC’s you may ask, simple to those in the know, they are coastal challenges! So we are proud to be supporting him thru what in our eyes can only be described as hell! That’s the 2011 Nokia Scotland Coat to Coast! We doubt very much that he will be doing it on our latest chop as racing 100 miles from the north coast of Scotland to the west will involve running, cycling and kayaking.
