Wet, Wet, Wet

After all that heat in Lanzarote, Bigman was delighted to return to the Ecosse Posse this morning. The weather had great er precipitation and significantly less heat BUT it had all the colour of a beautiful countryside and the company of The Ironman.

It was decided to have a day of climbing on the mountain bikes. It started with a climb from Saline up to the Knockhill cross roads. A sharp left and it was up to the Knockhill race course. Down the other side and turn left along to Cleish village.

From there it as back up and over the North Face of Cleish and down the other side before turning into the Blairadam forest and down to the Forestry commission buildings.

At this point, and for some extra fun, the posse turned around and climbed back up to the Cleish road.

By this time, we were wet, cold, covered in mud but happier than being out Christmas shopping!

An estimated 65 km covered and it felt good to be on teh Mountain bikes. As the trip is now only 14 weeks away, much of teh detail is being discussed as we train.

It feels soon, it feels good
