Totally misjudged the wind direction so had a nasty surprise headwind on the way back. Got justifiably peeped in Linlithgow for being a bit naughty but still had a good time.

Great ride. Zero wind and corking weather. Headed out to the barren lands of North Lanarkshire before heading back towards Bathgate. Saw a wrecked car getting pulled from a bush - fun. Then over to Dechmont before round to Abercorn and home. Pleased with the pace and only needed one snack :)

ahr:145 max:180
Repeat of last week. Tough going into Edinburgh and got battered at Holyrood, which was very busy. Really didn’t enjoy the cycle path out of edin, was far too busy with lots of families on bikes which was just carnage.
With the tailwind I really went for it home and dropped some really nice splits which was really pleasing.
Getting used to cycling actually.

Really pleased with the times. Consistent and much better than the last two times. Was working pretty hard so nice to see the benefit. Don’t know what my garmin is on about for heart rate, was breathing out my backside for most of it

A very slow pootle home into a naughty headwind. Good session.

Big one. To kirknewton over dechmont. Then along to currie and into Edinburgh for a lap of the seat before back home via the kirkliston route.
Roads were eerily quiet - felt like I was in gta or something. Felt good throughout. Loads of people out on the seat so had to take care. Actually got faster at the end which was nice. Very enjoyable.
Also tried arm warmers for the first time. Revolutionary. So practical. Perfect temperature. And, I’ve heard they’re a MASSIVE hit with the ladies.

Hill reps again. Had a headwind for the climb which was a bit brutal but times were much better than last week so happy days. Lots of friendly cyclists out (all singles not like those twats down in Surrey) which was nice.

Big one. Headed out to some uncharted territory around Limerigg before a big long stretch eastwards over Cairnpapple to Kirkliston. Felt a wee bit tired coming into Linlithgow but not too bad. Lovely day even if the crosswinds were strong. Lent my spare inner tube to another guy so was living dangerously for the last 29km.

Set off, realised this was not cycling top only weather, came back, made appropriate attire adjustments

Take 2. Chain came off about 3k in but very fixable but then nearly bulldozed a stupid dog that pelted at me outta nowhere 8k in. Managed to outsprint it to get away. Basically an extended Whitecross/ golf course loop but went down into Bo'ness which was a great descent before a long haul with some unnecessary downhill chucked in to get back up to the golf course.
Tomorrow looks set to be a belter so am thinking I might do the forth bridges.

Went and got all the hills. Got absolutely nutted by the wind coming down Cairnpapple but then cruising along the top with the tailwind, spinning at 42kmph on the flat felt pretty lovely indeed.
Then just braked my way down Kingscavil like a granny cos of a deadly crosswind but man oh man the section coming back into Linlithgow - there's nothing much more depressing than pushing however many hundreds of watts whilst standing out of the saddle going downhill to muster a measly 21kmph. I am yet to be convinced of the enjoyment of cycling straight into the wind - with the wind is where it's at. To cap it all off, I couldn't even catch a middle aged couple up the hill to my house as they spun along with their electric bikes.
All that aside this was a pretty enjoyable ride.

Round Standburn with a strong wind on the way out which made it very hard work
