More time to ebike at night now the clock has gone forward an hour


Out for a quickie last night and a selfie endo which looks like it could be something to work on!



On the trip last night I thought at first I was seeing things and the guy coming towards me had a pet bear with him.... on closer inspection it turned out to be an extremely hairy Newfoundland dog!



This could be a bit of over confidence, the removal of the back mudhugger, is the mucky backside season really over?



Saturday morning and it was a battery tester for the ebike with a ride from Peebles to Glentress, up to the mast then the fast descent down to Innerleithen, out to Traquir then over the hills to Gypsy Glen and the old drove road with the descent back down to Peebles again. Over 3700 feet of climbing , which was relatively easy on the ebike  but Barrie toughed it out on his acoustic, mainly in what we now refer to as "nana gear"!



Most of the really tough climbing was done by now so it seemed like a good place for a joint photo.



The usual photo has to be taken here before the fast descent back down to Peebles

.

Down Gypsy Glen and only about a mile and a half to go, with a bit of careful battery management I still had 2 bars left on the display. 
A good week weather wise, everything drying up , not so sure about the week ahead, there's even the threat of snow, who knows, the mudhugger may be back on before the week's out!
