When you forget to charge up your battery....

Barrie arrived along early Sunday morning all ready for a long mountain bike ride up the Pentland Hills with Clive and myself. He got his bike unloaded from his car got himself dressed in his riding clobber, climbed on his bikeand....discovered the battery was more or less empty of charge! He'd left it for half an hour from his previous ride but had forgotten to recharge it, so that was him ruled out of the ride, however Clive and I had a good one, not that that helped when I spoke to him later in the day!!



The top of Castlelaw with Clive achieving a kom with his climb to the summit!


And next was Allermuir, how Barrie would have enjoyed this route!!


Next was the descent to the pump house ready to start the new section we discovered last week


The last major climb up to West Kip, its more or less downhill after this.


The "best view in the Pentlands" before the final 10 miles or so back to the house!


The Strava map, I bet he doesn't forget to charge the battery next week!!
