Closing in on the 6000 miles

The start of the week and a trip up round Gladhouse reservoir

The result of an off on Thursday night when the bike skidded on a wet wooden walkway. 

Today Friday and it's not as cold as it looks.

Clive had a day off work but it didn't stop him having to deal with a work related problem on the phone.

After today I only need 11 more miles to reach 6000 miles for 2013, with over 95%  of them being off road. When I realised I was as near the magic 6k I started to panic as I'm going to be separated from the bike for 10 days while on a family visit and the weather at this time of the year can be utterly unpredictable. At the moment its unseasonably mild but there's storms forecast for most of next week but I'll make the distance if I have to cycle into a hurricane in the granny ring. Clive, by the way, is equally panicking as he's coming up for 5000 miles (but there's not so many off road as mine!!!). He'll kill me for writing that!!
