Baby it's cold outside....

Winter has gripped Fife this week and the cold weather continued and as the Bigman has already re-counted it was frosty and had potential to be a bit slippy.

It was good to meet the Shredder and he's a welcome addition to the posse. Sadly for Mrs Shredder the day has generated a rather long list for Santa as bike kit requirements grew by the mile. So much so a pre-emptive warning call was made from the cafe to start the requests in case any were forgotten by the time he made it home! He was a bold boy heading out in shorts and fingerless gloves but maybe he was just proving his hard northern credentials!

As well as the taloned birds swooping around a big metal bird landed beside us at Milnathort. It turned out to be microlight landing at the small landing strip beside the road - it was a spectatular sight. I can't imagine getting in one of these machines - too scary by half.

We had a great laugh today as well as a good cycle. The banter was great!

I was really pleased that the Shredder made it over Cleish nearing the end of the bike ride. Given he hadn't been out for a few months it was an impressive return.
