75 days, I better get my bum on my bike, will have to do my mad Arran training route (if I can find some of this time stuff). It includes every big and steep hill near my house. I am as daft as I look

@Pat "5mph" , are you still out with the new man?
You're probably still out doing a circuit of the west of Scotland at 25mph right now. Hope you are bonding well!

The worlds too round to have anywhere flat enough for me.

I will try and get better at hills, wasn't fair on @tug benson for me to have him waiting about today. Tho finding out at the 40 mile food stop I'd been riding 40psi tyres explained why I'd found my pace down on the flats and downhills.
Kept pace steady on dukes pass, I remember less than a year ago getting to a tough climb on heavy legs and saying no. Time for me yet

Greetings @Brandane!@Pat "5mph" , are you still out with the new man?

Was out briefly in the park, then rode the few miles home.
Needed to do a few adjustments, saddle was too forward, maybe needs a wee bit up too.
After a circuit of the park, noticed left crank was hitting the kick stand, took it back to the shop, guy adjusted it, same happened a few minutes later.
Took it off when I got home - the kick stand, not the crank
More miles are needed to fully bond: it started to rain, as usual!
Got a tec question to ask, will pm you
... must replace the ice tyres with more spring-like ones to match the avatar soon Aye chilly wind out there this a'noon - struggling to maintain 20 kph along the S'knowes front on my way back from a wee daunder round W Lothian: 78 km and a new Personal Fastest of 66.06 kph = 41 mph ! 
It was downhill, though ...
