That's the easy way to get extra strength into your legs !Grab the opportunity !
Was cleaning the bike while listening to Michael Bolton- good night T, I'm heading to bed too
Thanks MattMM, it would be a good run on a nice day, I was just a bit unfortunate with the weather in the early part of the dayOne or two things I would say is that there are two or three sets of roadworks between Darvel and Strathaven, and the timing on the last one didn't really take account of cyclists, certainly not old fat ones! The roads between Jackton and Strathaven used to be quite good but are really badly chopped up now - a lot to do with the works associated with the Whitelees Windfarm.
There isn't an easy way out of Stewarton, as it sits in a hollow, but a lot of the unclassified roads in the area of Stewarton, Fenwick,Galston, and Kilmaurs are in excellent condition and well worth exploring.
I ride a blue and white Carrera Virtuoso, so if you me, please do give me a shout.....always looking for an excuse for a breather
got a Belles ride tomorrow, and my ice bike is at the Lbs 
None of your feeble excuses; forecast for Sunday is good! And the rain will have washed the snow away by thenGuys, snowing heavily here, looks like it is gonna lie.
Me thinks the weekend rides will have to be abandoned
.
Hope so!None of your feeble excuses; forecast for Sunday is good! And the rain will have washed the snow away by then
The rain is coming down in buckets here now. Horizontal buckets!
horizontal buckets, that's brilliant!
) , ice tyres going a great job on the snow (even on a wee steep-ish downhill bit - did go rather slowly though), and then the slush as I got to the bigger roads... which were completely clogged with 4-wheelers all the way to the bypass and queuing to get onto it. I managed to pass the standing queues quite nicely where they hadn't meandered into the bus and bike lanes. Just rain and a wee bit of slush once beyond the bypass and into the outskirts of Edinburgh. Massive puddles, too, so got splashed a fair bit and gave the water proofs a shower on return, to get the salty slush off 
. Bike will get some TLC shortly, too

Got a ride with the girls tomorrow
