Since the weather was better today I decided to ride today rather than Saturday, although I still had to contend with a bloody headwind on the return leg of the ride. So I decided to do an extended ‘Around the Forth’ loop to bump the mileage up from 40 miles to 50 miles and ride it as fast as I can. This was fine with the tail wind to the Forth Road Bridge but a nightmare after that on the way back to Falkirk. This was also compounded with me riding the hilly part of the ride at the end of the ride into the headwind, but saying that I didn’t do too bad I still managed to get an average 16 mph for the ride in total so I’m happy with that
