Ride 23/07/2023

7 of us on the bun run today and as per usual I was out early before I joined the group to get a little bit extra. I didn’t do much, just 15 miles in the morning before the meet up, after yesterdays 77 I wasn’t looking to do much today, although ultimately that turned out not to be the case I was looking to get some elevation in the morning so I headed up Knockhill before heading back to Dunfermline to meet the group. I was looking for an easy ride today and when I meet with the club we decided to ride a route that avoided the headwind, which was as bad today as it was yesterday. So we ended up with a north south route rather than the east west one we would normally do. We headed along to Kelty and then up to Milnathort and Glenfarg before heading back south around Loch Leven to were our cafe stop would be. I had coffee, toasted ciabatta with cheese and ham along with a banana fudge cake, it was a good meal that filled a hole We then headed along to Lochgelly, Cowdenbeath and Crossgates but I wasn’t ready to stop there We had gone easy enough to the point I decided to do some extra, extra miles today and followed Ken down to Dalgety Bay and then headed back along the coast to Cairneyhill. Now this would mean I would have a tailwind to Cairneyhill but a strong headwind back to Dunfermline and home, so I took it easy doing that. By the time I got back home again I had done 70 miles at an avg speed of 16 mph which isn’t too bad for a “slower” ride
