Decided to ride to Glasgow and see what I could see of the Radio 1 big weekend. Suffice to say I didn’t see much, it was well cordoned off, but I could still hear it

Ride 03/05/2014 Round the Forth by PaulLund at Garmin Connect – Details.

Well after not riding for a month, thanks to me breaking my front suspension, I’m back on the road and so out of shape This ride should be a doddle to do and in under 3 hours, usually around the 2:30 – 2:40 range and my legs hurt. I hate having to train back up again this is where having 2 bikes would be a real benefit, wish I could afford it.

Well this was going well until I went over the fucking handlebars coming down a hill! Luckily I fell into a muddy stream which cushioned the fall, but I still came away with a few cuts and bruises but worst of all I was wet now Can’t stand being wet it makes me very cold and on a cold day like this, this is a big issue for me, and I was only half way. I soldiered on but never got warm again, although I did eventually dry, until it rained All in all it was a good ride, well at least it didn’t kill me this time round, last time I did this it killed me twice over, but that was a far tougher route than this years. Anyhow made it back to the start knackered but not feeling terrible.

Another bright sunny day but that doesn’t belie just how friggin cold it is, and that would come back to bite me. Decided to do a loop around Dunblane and Sheriffmuir which was about 48 miles. After 3 hours of riding my hands, although wearing gloves, were numb and getting painful from being so bloody cold, and I still had another 50 mins of riding. Temperatures had dropped to zero and medium distance in the cold is never fun. Thankfully I made it home without frostbite and after a long and hot bath I’m feeling more myself.
