So it’s back to riding solo, I decided I would a different route than the usual one but roughly the same distance. The weather was ok, a bit on the windy side but sunny here and there so I decided to do an anti clockwise route today. Similar to a route I used to do going around Loch Leven but with some slight differences to go down roads I hadn’t been down before. Of doing this can lead to surprises on road conditions as I ending up on a farm road which isn’t wise on a road bike so I was down to 5 mph there and cycling on unfamiliar cycle paths doesn’t help either. So this route would require some tweaking to skip out the rough stuff and then I could get a decent speed, as it was for today my speed was down to 14 mph, that would have been a lot closer to 16 mph without the dodgy routes and roads.
