Ride 27/03/2022

Well the weather was supposed to be the same as yesterday but someone forgot to mention the freezing fog to start with the morning! I was not prepared for that. I had the same clothes on as yesterday which was just enough to keep me warm in yesterdays cold weather but not for this morning. I was freezing by the time I got to the start of the ride and pretty much stayed freezing for the first 30 miles until the cafe stop at Stirling So there were 6 of us on the ride today and we would be doing a different route to the normal Sunday bun run. We would be doing a ride out to Stirling and Doune before heading back to Stirling and home again. The freezing fog persisted all the way to Stirling to the point I was close to calling it a day and heading home if I couldn’t get warmed up. Luckily when we got to the cafe stop at Stirling things had improved and the fog was away. I managed to get warmed up in the cafe before we heading out to Doune, by this time the sun was out and it was warm again. So we headed back into Stirling via the A811 and along the south side of the Forth River before heading back over the Kincardine bridge and along the usual coastal road back to Dunfermline. I took the usual road home along to Dalgety Bay and then double backed on myself up the hill to Crossgates, thus clocking up 85 miles at an avg speed of 17 mph, so all and all a good days ride eventually, and getting a good distance done at a great avg speed for me
