Same here... Though must admit, I decided last night. Looked like a great run for decent day.

After yesterdays atrocious weather the sun was shining here so I managed to get a nice 63 miles in. Glasgow to Mugdock, Lennoxtown, Kilsyth, Tak Ma Doon, Carron Valley, lunch at Fintry, Killearn, Croftamie, Jamiestown, Alexandria, Dumbarton and home.

Was a great day for it.. .I was hoping to get out, but was dragged off for a walk with the family and dog, then visitors when we got back Might sneak out tomorrow seeing as I have the week off.

Just back from a nice 30 miles with 1950 feet of climbing this morning. First time out on the Trigon this year and it felt good.

Glasgow, Neilston, Uplawmoor, Lugton, Dunlop, Stewarton, Newton Mearns, Glasgow.

Stopped for a quick picture, you can just about make out Glasgow in the distance

A great weekend's cycling, on Saturday I completed my Strava Challenge Gran Fondo number 4 covering a distance of 84 miles in glorious sunshine

Plenty snow still on the mountains







Took things easy on Sunday with only 24 miles but at a fast pace

Only had time for a 45 mile run on Friday, but a fantastic run over the Eaglesham moor was had. Despite the weather being perfect for cycling, I was dragged kicking and screaming to sort out the garden.

Nice ride out from Dalmuir to Rowardennan today with a few mates, then when I returned home I decided 63 miles was not enough so I got the single speed out and went up to Eaglesham, Newton Mearns, Barrhead Dams and home, a total of 82 miles

The Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond from Rowardennan

A tough 62 miles today taking in some local hills giving me over 4000 feet of elevation...Why did I change from a compact chainset

Nice ride... I'm looking forward to my little 67 mile jaunt on Sunday with a similar amount of climbing.
