What used to be going out for bike ride and enjoying the scenery and the weather, if that's been possible in Scotland this summer, has now turned into a race against segments on Strava, the app for smart phones and Garmins!
Last night I decided on an assault on the "barking dog" segment up the Pentlands, so named because the route resembles a dogs head (quite original) , the magic time to beat being one hour. Conditions were not really ideal but I managed to do it in 59 minutes 33 seconds to lie third overall! Downside was I hardly slept all night as the adrenalin was still pumping round my body!
