Ride 15/05/2021

There was quite a lot of us today, 17 of us, which is surprising given we’re still in lock down, albeit easing. So we split into 2 groups we me leading the first group. Weather wise it’s ok, no rain a little sun but a bit windy. We did start with a tail wind so the ride to the cafe stop was quite quick, sitting outside was fine, it’s not as cold as last week thankfully. For the homeward leg we were into a head wind so I settled at the back as I was planning to do 65 miles today which meant that once we were over Knockhill I was on my own into the wind all the way to Glenrothes, my turning point before heading home. But this did mean I would have a tailwind going home which was good as at this point I was getting tired, I had maintained an avg speed of 16 mph at this point. So 67 miles clocked up at an avg speed of 16.6 mph and I’m happy with that if not quite tired now.
