40km around back roads hunting sunshine and stalking @globalti new house
Where is this? I think this will soon be my local riding too, moving from Edinburgh to Auchterarder next week! 🙂
Went out for one last Fife gravel loop in good company on Saturday.
Slightly unsatisfactory ride overall, the final ‘missing link’ of my notional perfect gravel loop was blocked off by an angry farmer, cue fairly lengthy debat-u-ment which ended sort of amicably, but with us turning tail and heading back the way we came.
On the plus side, trails were running sooooo fast though after a winter of mud, loving the twisty singletrack bits on almost slick gravel tyres, some interesting sideways moments. Legs also good, scored a 2nd place on a reasonable sized local climb (pipped for KOM by buddy who decided to give chase at last minute and happens to weigh 20kg less than me…).
One last ride before house move, West Lothian Council are just applying to finishing touches to some lovely new tar on a couple of my favourite roads, would be a shame not to take a freshly serviced bike and freshly rested legs out for a quick blast 🙂
