Like all good Christians we observed Easter with the usual reverence and respect by getting the bikes loaded up and heading down the road to Peebles and Glentress for a nice early start (before there were too many other Christians out celebrating!)
It started off quite chilly, it was only 6.30 am but by the time we reached the climb known to us as "bugger, bugger" for obvious reasons the sleeves were rolled up and the fingerless gloves were on
.
The beauty of the ebike is the fact that you can shoot ahead of those on a convential bike and amuse yourself taking nice photos of your sturdy steed!
Before we knew it we were nearly at the mast at the top of the black route and there would be a bit of welcome descending (before there was more climbing again).
The weather was insanely un-Scottish in that the sun shone non stop and temperatures soared to the low twenties C, for a Scotsman that's soaring!!!
Easter Monday and Barrie and I decided on the Pentlands for a ride and once again the weather gods didn't disappoint, what have we done to deserve this, or is it a case of we'll suffer for this?
We topped out at the summit of Hare Hill where you don't often manage to sit and enjoy the warmth of the sun on an Easter morning!
A great Easter weekend made even better with the glorious weather and my ebike passed its 2000 mile mark into the bargain!
