A real cold day starting with a frost then unforecasted heavy showers swept over all day with a biting cold onshore wind had me thinking there would be no cycling after work today.
With sunset now an hour earlier at 4.40pm for the next couple of weeks there will still be time on bright days for a quick beach ride before sunset as the daylight hours will soon shorten, straight from work at 3pm it was down to Tyninghame, a very high tide meant little beach to cycle and a detour to get around a swollen Peffer estuary with recent heavy rain, so i just rode the low dunes at Peffersands...
Just missing a passing heavy shower off shore with two rainbows i got some filming done before the shower turned inland and with the best of the sunset past as the sun sunk into the clouds i rode back to the van as the rain came on for several minutes in a heavy shower...
Once again away from the car parks of the coast at this time of year the coast is nearly deserted, and today there was no one here after a day of heavy showers swept across with a sharp cold wind,
Chose your timings right between showers and you squeeze in a wee cycle and some filming,
Lovely last 15 minutes of good light as i filmed...
Always feel good to have made the most of the last daylight of a working day with a quick bike ride on the coast, esp with good light, working hours of the new job are so much better this year for post work cycling, esp in Spring and Autumn, not to mention an early finish on a Friday, so even come mid winter i can still get a daylight ride in leaving the weekend if weather/other plans are made...
