Ride 25/06/2023

Only 3 of us on the bun run today, me, Ken and Nick, it’s not the best of days for cycling, overcast, a little windy with the treat of heavy rain. I started out at 08:00 today to get some extra miles in before I meet up with the guys. I headed for Cowdenbeath, Lochgelly, Billingry, around the south end of Loch Leven and along Cleish up to Knockhill. I then headed back into town to meet up with the guys at the start of the bun run. We did the usual route along to the cafe stop which thankfully stayed dry. Unfortunately after we left the cafe the heavens opened up It rained pretty much all the way home and we got soaked, I only had a rain jacket with me and nothing else which was fine for a bit but eventually the rain will get through and you will get wet throughout. So I was dry for the first 50 odd miles but the last 27 was in the rain and the mess it made of me was quite impressive. I was caked in mud over my seat and arse and rain jacket, the bike got soaked and covered in mud to so that required cleaning after the ride as well. Anyhow 77 miles clocked up at 17 mph avg speed which is pretty good given who I was riding with
