Blustery Bigman

A quiet Sunday afternoon surfing the Fife hills. What better way to spend an afternoon. Bigman and The Wee Yin headed for Col du Cleish to enjoy the panaramic views towards the Cairngorms. The strong wind out of the south west carried the pair effortlessly to the crest of the iconic ascent in less than 30 minutes.

As they turned west towards Crook of Devon it was a different story. Even shifting into the crouch position, with The Wee Yin tucked in behind the Bigman the blustery conditions made for tough going. The thought of a massive cake endowed with mega chocolate at the Powmill Milk bar was sufficient inspiration to keep turning the pedals.

The Milk Bar was busy with all shapes and sizes but no other nutters out on bikes in this weather!

As the pair climbed back over Mont Veknockhill, it was like two rows of table football shunting the bikes from side to side at will. Fortunately, there was no racing on the track today and so the road was quiet. After the crossroads, on the downhill section, Bigman burst through 64kph, wind assisted. It felt good.

Despite the wind, it was a sunny afternoon and, once agin great to experience a wonderful countryside. A nice 45km circuit to set them up for teh working week and a nice warm up for Bigman before going to the five-a-side tonight.
