Easterly again tomorrow though bit stronger once over the M74. Actually, the easterly the other day was no help to me en route to Carnwath
Off to visit my mum in Ayr. Cup of tea with her then train home. Leaving corner of Lanark road west and bridge road Balerno at 8 a.m.
Pace will be slow. I am taking panniers as have a bottle of Aperol to give my wee ma. She likes it. I bought it in a Scotmid deal the other day. Made Aperol Spritz which is prosecco, Aperol, slice of orange dash of soda. Tastes like Irn Bru. Also have small bottle of adnam's tomato ketchup for her. The best ketchup ever. (Their brown sauce is too much, there new stout is lovely, like murphys, I am trying to get them to bring it to Edinburgh in September when they sponsor Tour of Britain). And a marmalade, fine.y treacled, called dark horse I cycled 20 miles in Suffolk to pick up from a table outside a remote house ( knew it would be there as got some four years ago and four years is the blink of an eye in Suffolk)
Quck pit stop at apple pie bakery of Carnwath then another one at a little cAfe on main road in Douglas if it is open. Then try to get through darkest east Ayrshire, totem poles etc then cut up through Sorn. That bit is hilly. Then descend to Ayr. Then train home.
Short notice I know, but any takers?
