Extended Stretching (aka Pilates) session (starting with some introductory material) via Zoom with R.

Waited for the rain to stop, but it didn't, so finally ventured out at 5 pm to find that the rain wasn't as heavy as it had looked. From home to Milngavie and then followed the river all the way past Dobbies, across Balmore Road (seeing no-one the entire way!) before eventually emerging in West of Scotland Science Park before dragging myself back home uphill through Bearsden Cross. I first did this route with Alice in fairly deep snow during #thebeastfromtheeast (remember the good old days when you were only stuck at home for days not months?) with a few navigational uncertainties and apparently we did 14.9 km in 100 mins that day.

Strength and Conditioning via Zoom with R. Dripping with sweat for the first 20 minutes!

Monday's route backwards (i.e. into Milngavie, past the reservoirs to Mugdock, then down Old Mugdock Road to Strathblane, then up to Carbeth and back home along the main road) on a cooler but sunny evening in 64:30 (i.e. 15 seconds slower than on Monday).

Gentle cycle to foot of 356 Trig.

The usual anti-clockwise loop of a totally deserted 356 Trig on a lovely sunny evening with very dry conditions underfoot. Several cute groups of lambs playing together without their mothers on the hill.

Gentle cycle home.

Longer evening walk with R and A.

Knees still a bit iffy, so another day on the bike. Roads east of Milngavie then back along Balmore Road before turning north up Craigmaddie Road to Mugock and then home via Milngavie. Neatly dodged the showers on a noticably cooler evening.

Up Stockiemuir Road to Carbeth then down to Strathblane before climbing Old Mugdock Road to Mugdock and then through Milngavie to Canniesburn Toll before returning home via Bearsden.
