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.
