First time for a while and nice to sit out with the others.<br /> Met Colin (partner of Sonja - they did LEL 2011 on tandem). He spotted me of course and reminded me I had sold her a reclined trike once.</p> <p>Anyway... I let him head off on his Van Nicholas bike and I followed on. He stopped for me at Lang Whang and I was allowed to head off on 'the quickening - he tailed, drafting by sitting low on bar to reduce drag. Could see in rear view.<br /> Peeled off at Gillespie's X roads.<br /> Impromptu social ride / strava bike racing. </p> <p>I had a whole apple pie on board in tail box. </p> <p>New Lanark bike lanes a nice launch route west. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20647#post-352816 Mon, 12 Jul 2021 22:31:23 +0000 gembo 352816@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@ bill I blame the government,for double head winds. Something should be done.</p> <p>Was sunny out the Whang<br /> Tonight</p> <p>Though Misty this morning.</p> <p>The gates still open at Craigengar as farmers are cutting grass for silage.</p> <p>This lets you get up for a nosey to the fancy Craigengar Lodge. Nice wee road. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20647#post-352814 Mon, 12 Jul 2021 22:01:59 +0000 bill 352814@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><blockquote>No, what I experienced was a rather brutal head wind.</blockquote></p> <p>@gembo it surely was. Also rather chilly.<br /> I had a bus behind me for a while through Livi and I was cycling as fast as i could but it wasn't very fast at all. </p> <p>Very annoying when I don't get any tail wind on the way in and a headwind on the way home. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20647#post-352807 Mon, 12 Jul 2021 19:10:22 +0000 gembo 352807@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I knew it was coming as. My legs felt too good on way to Tarbrax. So on the way back after cresting Auchinoon Brae I did not experience the Quickening. That only comes with a south westerly really.</p> <p>No, what I experienced was a rather brutal head wind. </p> <p>Still great post work blast in the sun. </p>
