Dragged the road bike out of the shed, pumped up the tyres, and set off for a nice easy spin to reintroduce my dodgy back to the travails of a compact frame racing crouch. It got a bit sore, but wasn't too bad. I pootled out to Doune, then Torrie, Thornhill, towards Kippen, Gargunnock, back to Doune via the Safari park and home. Fantastically sunny day. Felt great to be out! Was a little dehydrated on return so I had to have some of that newfangled isotonic stuff, whatdoyoucallit, Becks or Grolsch or somesuch. Felt much better afterwards.
