Hope everyone had a good one.
Friday - half day at work; left car on edge of Edinburgh so quick NCN/ towpath commute in and out. Went down to Glentress after lunch and did the Red Route as waymarked with no additions, deviations or subtractions. Probably the first time in about 3 years I have done exactly that. It was ace. Then had a roll and sausage at The Hub and went out and did the Blue route which, i have to say, was even acer than the red, especially Berm Baby Berm. Bike - Scandal 29er. Distance - 30 miles. Time - 3h 20 mins.

Saturday - lots of house stuff to do and spent much of the day cocking around with NoTubes kit, Maxxis tyres and Salsa rims. Finally beat it into submission by buying a compressor from B and Q (Folk in the ghetto presumably have one already.) Stan says "now go ride" after his instructions so I duly did. Just an hour on local trails through woods and country park, amazingly dodging two heavy rain showers. But all good fun, and Stan didn't explode or leak or anything. Bike - Scandal 29er. Distance - 10.2 miles. Time 1h 10 mins

Sunday - plan A was road ride but it was really windy so went to Glentress again. Rode most of the black then after Deliverance ducked onto the Blue to finish. Nearly binned it on Berm Baby Berm but somehow didn't (cornering too fast for skill levels). Bike: Rush Distance 18 miles Time 2h 20 mins

Monday - At work. Took car to garage and rode in and out from there. But it passed its MOT so that was OK. Bike: CXommuter Distance 15.3 miles Time 1h 5 mins
So, all good.
How was yours?
