I've been choked up with a cold since Weds. Was into my chest by Friday so I just went for a wee gentle pootle this morning. Flipping annoying as this is the first weekend this year I've been completely work-free.
Maybe another wee gentle ride tomorrow depending how I sleep, but my plans for the Bathgate Hills have been well and truly scuppered. Harrumph!

Just seen on FB, Eldudino has a similar bug, it must be a cyber thing!

Bit better today, but not going out... Will wait until tomorrow, see how I am then. Weathers great though, I'm gutted.

I admit it's not much of a silver lining for you but if it persists for, say, another couple of months, us mere mortals might stand a chance of catching you up ;) :hugs:

Aggh I hope its not the Flu I came down with on last Saturday night (Sunday morning was also beautiful). I was floored till Tuesday after then I was only (and still am) choked with the cold/cough but it wasn't until yesterday (Friday) that I felt that I wanted to go out for a ride and had to go very slowly so as to not aggravate things. Went out for another wee ride today doing the same thing until I met some mates :blush: After I left them I returned to the same slow steady pace then after around 31 miles I passed two blokes on Bianchis on a long, but not steep hill, their astoundment/ comments as I cruised made me feel good. I didnt have the heart to tell them though, I've done the climb nearly a minute faster.

I've never ridden it but its a gradual climb iirc

Clocklunie road is on my commute and that hill tires me out everytime i do it, it is getting easier but still feels hard lol

Yip, its a pretty gradual climb, my preference is to go up by the middlebank centre but I decided it was better to go that way, although longer its more gradual. For me its a good road to go down not too steep and I can power down usually and sit up without braking hard and there's not too many side road/driveways. I don't think I've bee up Cocklunie Road since they built the path, its usually quite busy and folk expect you to use it regardless of the condition.

The B981 is easy to power down but the path is on the on Clockluine Road, I wouldn't fancy it when its icy.

Yeah there is one part that holds water from the field next to it and can be icy, thankfully not had much problem on it, its a bit mossy in places which can be a pain :ohmy: its a bloody dark path at night though, wouldnt like to attempt it with poor lights :laugh:
