Rode to the orienteering.
Dunblane-BofA-Cornton-Riverside-Springkerse-Fallin-Airth-Kincardine-event.
A really fun ride, into a NE breeze but a nice set of roads, not too busy and quite downhill and flat so enjoying the speed. Struggled with the last hill to the event at Devilla.

Coaching Sterling at the Devilla SOSOL.
Light Green course in a very tough forest, hard running and very hard navigating - for a novice. He's getting the hang of it though.
My calf coped quite well - no concerns when I have time to watch where I put my feet.

Road bike session - Dunblane-Doune-Deanston-Callander back road-Thornhill-BlairDurmmond.
Riding with a pack on my back but pure sauntering until the Stirling Bike Club caught up with me on the Callander back road with Fraser P. So I jumped on the back and hung on till they parted (off to Duke Pass). A bit slower thereafter before joining the family at that farm I can never remember the name of. Much fun with Matthew on the ride-on tractors.

My first attempt at jogging.
Can jog OK providing I limp a bit. No worries!
A nice orange course at the new Tulluallan map - thanks Fraser!
PS - I won ;-)

A jog from the middle event field.
Calf improving good - just wish the miscle would attach to the bone more quickly so it doesn't feel like my leg is flapping about!

Well chuffed for the results today. Doug 1st, Nixon 2nd. Claire also appears to have the pick over what races she wants to do after a reasonable weekend (pretty shit by all account ;-)

Major downer of the weekend - Hollie. Having damaged her ankle at the long it would appear her WOC selection attempts were over there and then.

Another chance to get on the bike for a time trial.

Home-Ashfield-Braco-Greenloaning to top of Sheriffmuir Road. Went out fairly hard and pushed from half way along the back road. Gutted myself up the climb to Sheriffmuir.
I daresay this is a pb!

Cruisy recovery down past the pub (wish I'd carried some change) and home.
