It is Wednesday night and the return of teh Dark Knights Posse. Numbers have reduced as the cold winter nightsbit harder. However in the posse tonight was The Fit One, Bigman, The Wee Yin, and Knight Rider.
It was a cracking night for a blast up Col du Cleish. Dry and Crisp with a hint of frost on teh edge of your breath. It has been a few weeks since the posse rode out on Wedensday eveing and so there was much chat to catch up on.
Junior II was unavailable for team selection to Junior III on the way!
The Dark Knight is gaining in fitness. A good test is the ability to carry out a conversation on the final drive for the summit of the Col du Cleish. The crest arrived before he even realised he had arrived. Could even be a prospect for The Caledonian Etape next year.
The view over Perth and Kinross was majestic. Indeed The Knight Rider commented on how much he was looking forward to the light nights when he could see it during day light as he had not been up there in years. He may even get a scare when he sees the gradient of the slope he has been zooming up!
Only 11 more nights until the shortest day and we start easing our way back to summer. Yahoo!
Today is the official centenary of our trip to the Cape Epic. 100 more sleeps and we start the Cape Epic 2010 race in South Africa............................ but who is counting?
Bigman is!
