Kilted Long Distance Cyclist
So we were sitting at the Macnaughton tent at the Campbell games and I spotted a fellow walking by with a nice bike, a bike helmet on, and a bright yellow and red lycra cycling top. Underneath that he has an inexpensive Black Watch kilt on, a sporran, and then his cycling shoes.
OK, this was TOO different, I had to speak up.
Turns out He's doing a mess of rides to raise money to find a cure for HIV, in memory of, and in tribute to his sister who died of AIDS a few years ago. And yes, he DOES cycle kilted, though he wears cycling shorts under his kilt when he's in the saddle. He says a kilt is the greatest thing around camp after a long ride, and that it's catching on, a number of folks who are doing the AIDS cure rides are wearing kilts around camp, now.
His sign indicated he'd ridden over 1200 miles to raise money to help find a cure. I say guid on ye, mate!
