It’s a nice day for a ride, I was going to do just the usual bun run ride but bumped into Ken, one of the club riders I regularly ride with at Kincardine. I decided to ride with him for the test of the ride but he was going a slightly different route to the bun run. We skipped out Knockhill and went via Cleish round to Cowdenbeath and I parted ways to head back home to Crossgates. Not a bad days ride clocked up nearly 17 mph avg speed for 50 miles

Another dull wet day although not as windy as yesterday thankfully. It’s the usual Sunday bun run ride although by the time I got over Knockhill and down to Dollar the rain had stopped and was dry for the rest of the ride. It’s actually a little warmer than yesterday so I was only riding in 2 layers today I left the rain coat at home and didn’t really need it anyway, the rain was short lived. Looking to do 50 miles today so I decided to return home via Rosyth rather than Dunfermline. Still managed to keep a good avg speed today of 16 mph

Well it’s a dull wet and windy day so I was back in the winter gear and mud guards back on the bike. Decided to do the normal bun run ride with a few alterations, skipping out knock hill and returning home via Kelty and Cowdenbeath. It’s not that cold so in the end I did have to take of a layer but I had 3 on to begin with Good avg speed today given the weather conditions but that will be down to cutting out some of the hills too.

Another windy ride but this time I’m suitably dressed so no need to head back home today. I decided just to do the normal Sunday bun run ride and actually passed a few club members out today. Nothing special today just a casual ride around “the block”.

Well I seriously underestimated the weather today and didn’t realise just how cold and windy it was I got about 2 miles out and thought bugger this and headed home for some more appropriate clothing. So once suitably dressed I carried on with the ride only this time deciding to change what I had in mind. I was going to go to kincardine but decided I would head into the wind and ride to kinglassie and then head around Loch Leven. So rather than doing an east west ride I would do more of a north south ride and not get hit so badly with the wind. I covered the same distance I had in mind for today but on a different route.which is why the map looks a little odd today
