It is Wednesday and The Dark Knights Posse was out on the road again, climbing Col du Cleish on a brilliant clear night but with frosty conditions and the odd ice flow to contend with. It was a quick jump off the 19:00 from Glasgow, scoot back home to change into the lycra and then Bigman joined The Wee Yin and Knoght Rider to scale the mighty Col du Cleish.
On the ascent there a little scary moment when the ground below took on that shiny appearance and you just knew that keeping the steering straight was key to keeping upright.Dancing on Ice springs to mind.
The view over Loch Leven with the reflection of the lights of Scotlandwell perfectly mirrored was astonishing.
On the return there was one madman who had an inability to apply his brakes on a single track road however it has been a while since we have had such an experience!
The run down hill was biting cold as the wind chill from the air rushing towards the posse cut straight through the windproof jackets.
5 weeks tomorrow until take off and only 24 more training opportunities.
