It might be one or two corners till Spring arrives yet but it's definitely getting nearer. We set off from the bottom of Glentress at 6am this morning and there was no need for lights. It was also the driest it's been for quite a few months now and shorts , or in my case three quarter bibs , were the order of the day. What a difference a reduction in clothes makes!
On our way round Glentress we've made up a few names of our own for various sections, e.g. a very steep climb which I believe is really called Tower climb is known to us as "oh bugger" so named because one of Baz's mates out with us for the first time once said just that when confronted by it. There's another exposed part not far from the top of the Black route that we've named "brass monkey moor" after one particularly very cold and very snowy morning when no brass monkey would have ventured there.
Today's ride was nearly 22 miles and I managed much to Baz's disgust to outdo him on a few of the tricky little technical parts.......(awaits comment from him!)............
