It was about this point on Wednesday night when I was out with Dougie that I clocked up the 3000 miles mark on Ernie the ebike! I started on it in the second week of November last year so it hasn't taken that long to bang up the miles and 90% of them will have been off road.
The warm weather we enjoyed for a few days certainly makes some folk act strange, the last thing I expected on Tuesday afternoon in the Pentland Hills was to meet a guy striding towards me wearing a nothing but a pair of speedos, he had quite a way from there to get a swimming pool and I wasn't hanging around to ask him where he'd left the rest of his clothes....
Saturday morning and things on the weather front were more or less back to normal as Barrie and I decided on a Pentlands ride rather than Glentress as the weather looked a bit dodgy and so it turned out. I could have boiled an egg in the water that came out my shoes by the time we had finished,to make matters worse my Garmin decided to switch off at one point as well and I must have done 5 miles before I noticed....cant say I blamed it, the weather was pretty dire!
Out with Clive this morning, Sunday, and no great improvement in the weather either, it started of misty, got quite foggy and then chucked down rain for the last 10 miles home, never a dull moment mountain biking in Scotland!!
