I've still been feeling weedy following the virus, but the weather has been so good I couldn't resist getting my bike out. I compromised with a couple of easy rides, but making sure they were over 50km!

[Slick]

Quite a tough 50k today from home to Largs. I did hope to get another 50 miles in but Mrs Slick was having none of it so we got the train back after sharing the best fish supper I've had since the last time I was in Largs. I couldn't help but think the route we chose could have been better but another point in flaming June means I'm heading in the right direction.

Full report in your ride today.

11 points.

A very enjoyable 50 miles today. This was a 3 loch challenge that I had seen on Strava some time ago and have been looking to try it out so when a freind from work suggested it I jumped at the chance. It was only 42 miles but I did an extended stretch down the river Leven before heading home. I'll put a report in your ride today.

13 points.

I'm not superstitious or anything, but I'll need at least another point soon as nobody likes 13.
