100 days of exercise until Christmas

Posted 9 months ago
@sandboy – congratulations!! I actually had a couple of days off before the 16th Sept just for a break 🙂
I was out in the snow again. Popped down to the Uath Lochan via the Speyside Way, stopped at Loch Insh Boathouse for food and drink (and a chance to warm up) then back via Drakes Bothy.
It was overcast most of the day with very, very low cloud and snow/sleet showers flitting through. I did get one short burst of blue sky
Only two weeks to go. Seems to have flown by.
Posted 9 months agoCouple of hours of a walk today, wire from yesterday’s workout haha
Posted 9 months agoDay 87 – snowy bimble with Mrs S
About 30cm of snow now in the Glenmore area. It’s not been too trodden so still fine for walking on.
Not-so-Green Lochan
Selfies
Meall a Bhuachaille
One for @fazzini
Sun sets early now so easy to catch these sunlit hillsides.
Just before Mrs S lost her hat (we found it again)
Posted 9 months agoLovely photos above.
LAst few days have been walks to fit round work.Got out this morning, fog in Sheffield but transient blue sky at Burbage (which disappeared for photos!)
Posted 9 months agoFeeling a bit perkier than last few days so got out for another slow ride.
The lesson of the ride is that a 180mm rotor is just close enough in size to a 200mm rotor to give a bit of pad overlap – so that if you are being dopey you can do half a ride before you realise you have the wrong front wheel on the bike and are then very careful on all the remaining descents!
a nice bit of wall
Totley Moss Trig point
hope everyone else is OK and managing to get some bits done in or out.
Posted 9 months agoTurned out nice again.
Posted 9 months agoDay 91. After 3 days of being restricted to “barrack duties” I was intent on getting out on the fatbike again. As it happens, it’s Corrour Station Restaurants last weekend of the season so that seemed like a great objective.
I wasn’t sure that the roads were even going to be passable but I got there OK and set off up the hill. Some low cloud was obscuring the view but not too bad.
Clearer skies from the south. Although it was around minus 3c at this point, the climb and the direct sun meant I’d had to strip off my outer jacket.
There was a cold descent in the shade to get down to Loch Ossian.
Quick look back before arriving at the station
Train strikes, the season and the conditions meant I was the only paying customer today. Double venison lorne…
Posted 9 months agoDay 91 – Part 2 (forum software won’t let me post all the photos at once)
No hurry to return as I wanted to get some of the fading light later in the afternoon.
Using the drone as a “long tripod” for a couple of selfies. The first is from a still in “follow me” mode.
I was right about the fading light. This is one for @tjagain – looking over to Lochan na h-Earba.
As the sun continued to set I found myself pedalling slower and slower. Eventually I stepped off the bike and just stood, eyes closed, deep breathing for 5-10 minutes.
Had to get this shot on the way back home. We don’t really get sunsets in Aviemore so this was a real treat.
Posted 9 months agoOut for a run this morning. Crunchy trails, snow-laden trees, frozen lochs.
Just to prove I’m not shooting in B&W 🙂
I went out thinking I might make it 10km, if I could manage it. Ended up doing 12km in a decent time (given the conditions) and feeling like I could have carried on. This exercise malarkey might have something going for it!
Posted 9 months agoMorning mooch up to Darwen tower. A walk and views I never get tired of!
Certainly not the best in the world but not bad for a few miles up a hill
Posted 9 months agoclose to two weeks lost due to a nasty cold…
D95 – commuting to work, PR’s set on the way home due to the tail wind 🙂
D94 Traditional Pre-Christmas Bike Ride, 18miles off road, had to extend the route twice as conditions are (were) so fast we were in danger of finishing before the pub opened!D91 – Thursday Night Bike Ride – no idea if the image will work, not even on my own feed EDIT – while it shows for me, if it doesnt for the rest of you, please say..
hoping to finish this with 80 plus days completed – will be happy, particularly by picking back up after a fail, I owe you all thanks for the support and motivation that makes that possible.
Posted 9 months agoTrot after work yesterday with the headtorch. Walk round Eyam today with visiting family.
Posted 9 months agoBack in Loch Morlich this morning – with the pros!
Air temp 4C – water temp 1.8C 🙂
And then a 7km run this afternoon, at a Garmin-stipulated 6:30 km pace.
Posted 9 months agoGreat pics again @scotroutes. Still going although missed another day last week. Think that’s 5 or 6 missed overall but c’est la vie.
Did get a nice snow ride in with Mrs Blitz on Saturday
Well done all
