Ride 26/05/2018 Falkirk to Dundee
Well another beautiful sunny day and for my sins I cycled to Dundee and back not realising the distance involved. I was expecting it to be about 100 miles but because I took a different route then the usual one it increased the distance to 114 miles. Last weeks Ochils loop was 84 miles so this was a big jump up in distance more than I would normally do. I would normally jump in 10 miles increments each weeks but this was 20, but I survived and not much worse for wear. Anyway the leg out to Dundee was against a headwind which was hard work but on the return journey I had a nice tail wind so it made the trip back easier and just as well as I was getting very tired. And thanks to that tail wind I got my 15 mph average speed which was good
