Road bike still in for repairs so lets continue with the mountain bike and play in the Ochil Hills Normally I would cycle up to Ben Cleuch but I wanted to do some reps and on a windy day like today it would be very windy indeed at the summit and I was just in my cycling shorts and top so no protection from the wind. Did the first rep before lunch and then headed down to the car for lunch. After lunch I did another 2 reps but the third wasn’t all the way up as I wanted to cycle a route I had seen but never cycled along. The forth climb was up the route I had never taken before and I didn’t follow it all the way up as by this time it was 16:00 and I wanted home in time for dinner. Anyway after cycling up 4700 feet I actually feel fine albeit very hungry now and the longest day in the Pyrenees is 12000 feet so I think I could survive that So I think the issue now is do I have the stamina to keep cycling big mountains for 7 days, I think so but time will tell, lets hope I get my road bike back soon as there are still some hills I want to climb on it.
