Out on Saturday morning sharpish to avoid the storm that was forecast for later on in the day. The water level had dropped on the water crossing in the last week or so but Barrie still adopted the "legs aloft" method to keep his feet dry as he biked through!
The hard frost overnight had made some of the path quite treacherous and even with 2.8 tyres I managed to come off here (much to Barries amusement)
The track alongside Threapmuir Reservoir was blocked by a fallen tree so the wind must have been pretty fierce up here.
More run ice going up to the Saddle from Harlaw but this time I managed to make it up without coming off.
Barrie on his non ebike struggled up into a strong headwind, which in actual fact seemed to be a headwind most of the way round on Saturday!
Another good week of climbs especially on Wednesday when we treated Dougie to a circuit of killer climbs which he did much to Barries disgust as he ended up pushing up some of them! All good Strathpuffer training we reassured Dougie
