    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.

    No, what I experienced was a rather brutal head wind.

    Still great post work blast in the sun.

    @gembo it surely was. Also rather chilly.
    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.

    Very annoying when I don't get any tail wind on the way in and a headwind on the way home.

    @ bill I blame the government,for double head winds. Something should be done.

    Was sunny out the Whang
    Tonight

    Though Misty this morning.

    The gates still open at Craigengar as farmers are cutting grass for silage.

    This lets you get up for a nosey to the fancy Craigengar Lodge. Nice wee road.

    Ventured to Apple Pie today. First time for a while and nice to sit out with the others.
    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.

    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.
    Peeled off at Gillespie's X roads.
    Impromptu social ride / strava bike racing.

    I had a whole apple pie on board in tail box.

    New Lanark bike lanes a nice launch route west.
