Catch up... Into November...

 

Into November...

October flew by, good Overtime made at the Scottish Open Golf, strange with no spectators...

I sold my house and handed in the keys mid month, after a last weekend there reflecting on 15 years living there...

Last evening...

SE Racing BMX announced a new Retro Fatbike - A Fatbike Quadangle!, so had to order one, 

Expecting it to be a few months until it arrived in the UK early next year ( an early 50th birthday pressie to myself) it actually arrived last week!

Blog post on it soon...

Surly Bikes announced the end of production of the Surly Pugsley Fatbike, the Fatbike that started it all, So I managed to find a frame set in Italy and ordered it, It's in storage now for the future...

The new Garage is up now and is getting everything moved in from storage...

lol!...

Despite all going on we still got out and about some local beach rides...

A couple of films,  made with the old HERO 4 Session Go Pro, 

 John Muir Park...

And Tyninghame...

Autumn is giving way to Winter soon as the dark evenings draw in...

With no holidays taken this summer with the Covid Pandemic and Furlough scheme I am now on 4 weeks holidays - that's the the whole of November!, bought a new Go Pro Camera - a HERO 8 Black, now they are reduced with the HERO 9 now out, and a new iPhone so plenty pics and films to come soon...

Cycle to the Lighthouse... Pt 8

Nearly there...

 

Journeys end...

A great wee cycle with G and we took the roads back to Town, winching at times into the gale force wind, but it was worth it...

Last wee film of the cycle, Song is `Rings` by Tycho,

Cycle to the Lighthouse... Pt 7...

 

Nearly at the Lighthouse!, and Barnes Ness is a place full of Childhood memories visiting here with dad when he was the Head Countryside Ranger, visiting Victor who was the resident Ranger here and exploring the Geology trail that used to be here, the signs are long gone now,

East Lothian Council need to get stuff like this sorted and signed for visitors...

The Geology trail was signed with information about the Lime Kiln here and it's history,

A short section of coast here reveals a lot of history,  and where boats one moored here to take away the processed Lime,   to where once there was a forest when the sea was a lot lower...

You can see the holes here in the rock where the trees once were...

Another wee film, Song is `Receiver` by Tycho,

More soon...

Cycle to the Lighthouse... Pt 6

 

With the rocks behind us and after a short section of the John Muir Way,  We rolled onto Whitesands and more or less free wheeled down across the beach as blowing sand danced across the windswept beach...

Another wee film here, Song is `Plains` by Tycho,

More soon...

Cycle to the Lighthouse... Pt 5

 

Continuing along below the golf course and at it's edge the John Muir way trail we then crossed big grass tussocks avoiding mud filled holes, again a huge variety in riding surfaces can be found to cycle on fat bikes in such a short distance when you just slow down and look around at other options away from the usual paths and trails, find your own route is often more fun, as today was proving...

Wee film again here, Song is `Pink and Blue (Instrumental) by Tycho,

More soon...
