Sunny day that is.
So, this morning I was desperate to get everything I needed doing out of the way as quickly as possible. Then it was onto the bike and off into the west!
Well out towards the Campsie Fells at least. That's the closest we've got here in the West of Scotland to "heading for them thar hills!"
The more I ride my night train, the more I'm getting to appreciate what a great bike it is.
The feet forward, arms stretched out riding position takes a little getting used to. Though I have ridden this style of bike before, it was so many years ago and I've had more conventional bikes since. So, I do find I get a bit stiff after an hour or so in the saddle but not as much as I was dreading. I am 50-something after all.
I also found out today that the ideal cruising speed is just below 50. Just a tad fast for posing in town!
