A call from The Fit One and Bigman re-organised the diary to ensur an on-time escape from weegie land to get some miles under his belt, especially afetr Monday's washed out plans. After leaving the car the car at Linlithgow to catch the 06.13 train for 7 o'clock start, there was no guilt trip in catching the 16:45 back.
This provided the opportunity to join the Fit One for a spin out to Aberdour and up and over the Aberdour Ascent. It was a tadge deflating to go out to the garage to find the Madone resting on a flat tyre. A new tyre was put on Friday along with a new tube before the Col du Carnock meet. This was disappointing to say the least.
The weather may have been dull and overcast however the banter was in full flow and the miles passed un-noticed.
The Fit One was re-counting tales of his Talking Tandem partner who has a preference to spend most of her time in the big cog. Talking TAndems is a registered charity enabling partially sighted cyclings to experience the thrill of cycling with a partner. The Fit One, Junior II, and Santiago all support this charity through their support for the riders. The Fit One has found his match. He is becoming so used to the tandem weight, he is considering investing in a Dawes complete with Panyards! How times have changed!
A blast around the 20 mile ircuit was completed in just over the hour. 20 more miles towards teh Cape Epic in 28 weeks :-)
