I'm away on the bike this weekend thankfully we decided not to bivvy, there is every chance I'd die!

I scoffed when people were saying that May was set to be the coldest on record...mmmm, I am revising my thoughts on this!! Yes, April was miserable. What I think is absoulutely the worst is the fact that it is cloudy all day, every day, unrelenting dullness. I mean just how much cloud can there be??

May is "usually" one of the nicer months weather-wise in Scotland. Today is nice, but it looks like the Spokes ride on Sunday will be in winter conditions! Was not January milder than what we are "looking forward" to? Granted the days are longer, but still...

Oh, I forgot to say: I'm in Forfar this weekend for my Mammy's birthday, but she's worried about the internet weirdos I hang out with, and more pertinently, we won't be in the house on Saturday night, so I can't offer you a bunk.

I've seen the elevation profile, and I dunno if wee blue floofy and I would make it, so I think I'll restrict myself to pootling over on my Dad's BSO and waving you off from the start line.

Ne'er cast a cloot 'til May is oot
i heard that the saying refers to the May blossom on the hawthorn tree, not the actual calendar month
just sayin, like..

@bax if that is the case then it is safe to cast off your vestments!! I am fairly certain that the hawthorn has stopped flowering. Although according to gardening things I have been looking at it flowers between May and June, although I am certain I have seen a fair amount of it already.
