New Wheels

Got some new Mavic Kysrium Elites. Here they are the last time they'll ever look this new.

Sorn Circle

Headed out with my fellow 'Stomach' rider Tony yesterday to show him some of the wilds of East East Ayrshire. Very windy at times but with it at the tail it was a great run. Some great parts of this circle are on fresh tarmac(almost) car free surfaces which is great on the backside!
Highly enjoyable ride with good company (even for a LONE biker)!

So far

Took my longest run of the year so far today. Managed 86km with a loose spoke making an annoying noise for about 70 of them!
Headed over to the A77 where I took up the Braveheart route for a while before heading back home via Kilmarnock up the A71.
Very cold but thanks to a pair of "grampa" socks I found for sale in Tesco my feet stayed relatively warm.
The weather has been rotten so I welcomed the sunshine and the chance to do some exercise that didn't involve some sort of instructor and circuits.
