Ride 05/04/2025

7 of us on the early bun run and weather wise it’s cold, windy and overcast, until I got home and then the sun came out 😕 We had a tail wind to begin with so we were too early at the cafe stop this morning and had to wait 15 mins for the place to open, I’ll need to amend the route to take that into account 🤔 for this ride going forward. Anyhow once in I had a roll with square sausage and hash browns and a coffee to warm me up. That didn’t last long the second we got back on our bikes for the journey home, we were into a strong headwind at this point so I had the hammer down for the first 10-15 mins to try to get some heat into me 🥶 Thankfully the route is mostly uphill on the way back and as we went over Knockhill Mark decided to pin me to the ropes which had me sweating to keep up, until he dropped me, but not for long 😅 I managed to catch back up and stick on his wheel until we got to Redcraigs where we waited for the rest to catch up. Up to this point we had been avg 18 mph but when we got to Dunfermline I was back into a headwind all the way home again, so 50 miles clocked up at an avg speed of 17 mph and thankfully there is better weather tomorrow 😎
