Clad in shorts and bootees with two panniers I set off from macdowall road and made my first mistake at morningside cross. Should have jinked up the back way and crossed comiston road at Greenbank. Instead ended up going along morningside drive. Which was fine. Should then have cut down to the roundabout at greenbank but instead went through the closed Napier campus at craighouse. Wooft as Archie McPherson would have said. Steep up, steep down, Lorra Lorra steps as cilla black would have said. Ended up where I wanted to be at craiglockhart lights, still some roadworks at firrhill but nothing much apart from usual drivers.
I have deleted all their shenanigans and also the pouring rain but at least the wind was behind
