Cycling 4:20:57 [2] 113.5 km (26.1 kph) +1155m
Easy cycle with Señor Purko. Pretty good time was had, glad I decided to go out despite the weather
Out to Hillend then along the A702 (bit sketchy) till West Linton then hopped across to the A701 and down the B7509 which is a top piece of road (with lots of lil' lambs).
A72 till Peebles, then jumped onto the B7062 for a quieter time to Innerleithen, and up the B709 -> B7007, which was the grimmest part of the cycle - a solid hour of slight uphill into a massive headwind in the rain and cloud.
At this stage I was soaked through, and got pretty cold on the super long (and windy) downhill section along the B7007 -> A7 all the way till we turned along past Dalhousie Castle. Changed to my spare gloves and felt a lot better, especially as we were on the home straight through Bonnyrigg, Lasswade and then back into town and home.
7/10 would ride again, but maybe with less wind and rain. Still alright speed though, good stuff
