Weekend cycling with friends...

Friends Phil and Anne arrived Friday afternoon and pitched up with their camper van for a weekend of cycling and having a good laugh, We headed to Gullane on Saturday morning via the former RAF Drem Airfield and along the old railway into Gullane then dropped down onto the coast to ride to NB, The overcast grey sky brightened later in the morning once we were onto the coast...

Midweek Cycle; sunset harvest cycle...

Lovely Autumn high pressure weather for a few days, a wee cycle around some harvested fields  and despite the cool wind it was warm until sunset around 8pm when it cools off and you really get the feeling now summer is over and seasons are changing,
