Ride 08/07/2023

8 of us on the bun run this morning and although it started out sunny that would all change at the cafe stop. We started with sunshine and a tail wind this morning which meant we got to the cafe stop fairly sharp for my usual orange juice and scrambled egg roll. Whilst at the cafe stop the sky went black pretty quick and then the heavens opened up, the cafe has a tin roof so it got pretty loud in there with how hard the rain was coming down Thankfully we missed most of it but the poor 9 o’clock guys got hit hard and were very wet when they arrived at the cafe. We waited a little bit for the rain to ease up before heading back but it was still raining none the less which meant I got wet, especially since I had no rain gear with me today. We decided to take the quickest route back to Dunfermline to limit our time in the rain but thankfully the rain stopped about 20 mins after we left the cafe and the sun came out which meant it got quite warm as well, which was nice as it dried me out a little bit We were going back via Saline so I put the hammer down a little bit going up that which meant I was first up to Redcraigs. Thereafter I rode with the group back to Dunfermline before splitting to head back home. So only 45 miles clocked up today but at a decent avg speed of 18 mph.
