Ride 25/03/2023

8 of us on the fast group today, weather wise it’s overcast, dry with a little tail wind to start with and a head wind for the ride home. We headed the usual route to the cafe stop at a decent pace of around 17 mph and it was here that the guys decided to do some extra miles. Now I’m all up for extra mileage but on this instance I didn’t bring much extra fuel with me, normally I would carry my little gel pouch and a couple of energy bars, but all I had today was the energy bars, so that had to suffice. They wanted to skip out Knockhill and go around Loch Leven, so after my scrambled egg roll and orange juice, and thank God I got my new crown fitted yesterday so I had a full mouth of teeth today we headed out. Once around the Loch we headed for Kelty and up to Kingseat which was where I departed from the group after 60 miles and headed home. I decided to bump up the mileage to 65 miles to get me the 100k rather than finish at probably around 99k which is sad so in total I clocked up 65 miles at an avg speed of 17.5 mph and thats good for me, and I didn’t even run out of energy and crawl the last 5 miles
