A wee jog round Sauchie checking out the area for a future night event. Back a little stiff but I enjoyed getting into this wood - it's an excellent area and would make a superb high class short or middle......... on a professional map.
Janine took fraggle round the ridge path and I met them en route on the way back.

Great sunny day, sore calf so no x-c.
Decided to have an easy walk up a hill.

Foolishly chose Ben Venue which is never a short walk and I was carrying 5.5 kilos of extra front luggage (aka Yoda). Both me and J9 struggling away but we got to the top in the end and the views were excellent. The wee one didn't really mind either and he looked well cool in the Stevenson's all-in-one. My back is now knackered!

Into work. 2 degrees!
Fab!

From work at lunchtime to Kings Knott and a full loop of Kings Park - ended up being too big a loop and having to come back along the road from by the motorway. Beautiful day. Calf improving but not ready for X-C tomorrow. ;-(

Home from work. Felt a bit tired on the hill.
Still a beautiful day.

Rode into work.
Despite the gloomy day it was a lovely ride. Even Raploch looked nice - must be my exercise endorphins kicking in!

Home from work, fairly hard.
Then a full-on evening with the 12lb-er.

Calf still wrecked.

Felt very lethargic this week, but then, so did most of the crowd after a full-on weekend.
Left calf very very sore - no running for a few days.
Had to walk home.
