Slick · 26 Sep 2018

Slick said:
I know this is very late but a new job has lead to lots of hassles that hopefully is coming to an end soon.

I did manage a couple of rides in July and a 50 miler last night to get August off to a flier.

Unfortunately, I've had to change my user name on Strava and Make it private so there will be no links to that or Relive.

First 50K was on 16.07.18 whilst visiting my BIL who lives at Glenfinan which is just North of fort William but on the other side of the loch. I cycled from there down the single track road to the Corran Ferry then joined the cycle path over the Ballahulish bridge and into Glencoe village. I was supposed to meet Mrs Slick there but as there was no sign of her I thought I would tackle the hill which was amazing. Mrs Slick did eventually catch up with me and I felt like a wee boy getting called in for his dinner just as the climb was becoming fun. Unfinished business here, but I intend going back there and maybe doing an evening cycle as this really is an amazing Glen.

Next was 21.07.18 which was a ride I've done a few times before sometimes with and sometimes without Strava. I did feel good and knew I was going well when my brother was struggling to keep up going over the Dukes Pass. This was round Loch Katrine from Aberfoyle which is 50K with 2500 feet of climbing, 17 achievements and a huge smile on my face.

15 Points

August.

This was just last night and was the exact 3 loch challenge ride that I mention in the post I'm replying to. I forgot just how nippy one of the climbs were and almost had to stop but my riding partner kept me going. There is another option with a huge climb over Glen Douglas that this guy is determined to get me over but I've seen the first bit and doubt that's ever going to happen.

Anyway, an early 2 points for me with plenty of the month to go.

17 Points.

I was going to wait until I downloaded my ride from Strava, but since I had to change my name and make it private I've lost a bit of interest in that. I reckon that I have nearly 2 months of rides stored on my device and every day I keep meaning to take a lead to work and download there but every day, I keep forgetting.
The ride itself was another repeat of the same 3 loch challenge I ride with a freind from work. I do a number of shorter rides that just fall short of the 50k for this but this is the only ride this guy does which is kind of understandable as it is a fantastic ride but I reckon I would need a bit more variety. We started easy enough but as usual, I was soon puffing and holding on as we hit the climb and was grateful for the cafe stop when it finally came to get out the rain which is never far away from Glen Fruin. Once again, I seemed to benefit from a quick food stop as my legs seemed to recover enough for me to put my head into the breeze and lead us both home on the flat at a fairly steady rate of knots.

Despite the promising start last month, it's been a bit of a struggle to get the rides in but I'm as always ever hopeful that next month will be better.
Anyway, 2 points and still hanging in there.

19 Points.
