Ride 21/08/2022

10 of us on the bun run today, a little less wind and a little bit more sun as compared to yesterday but a good day to get some miles under my belt. I followed the group up until the cafe stop where I had the usual coffee and cake and after we left the cafe stop and once we hit the Kincardine bridge I went on my own to do some extra millage today. I wanted to ride to Bathgate as it’s been some time since I’ve ridden that way. It’s not a particular hilly route but does require a little bit of climbing, but once your at Bathgate it’s flat all the way to Uphall but once past here it’s a steady downhill gradient for a few miles until you hit Newbridge. After that it’s pretty much up hill back over the river and along to Dalgety Bay and home. Although it was a headwind all the way to the cafe stop this did mean I had some crosswinds to Bathgate but a great tailwind all the way to Kirkliston, I was going pretty fast for that section :-D. So overall I clocked up 78 miles at an avg speed of 17 mph.
