Singlespeed cycle; local woods...



Wee cycle in the local woods, close muggy weather and thunder and showers forecast that would arrive that evening and clear the air, in the meantime it was cooler in the woods...

Midweek Cycle; Singlespeeding local trails...


`Junuary` continues with cool easterly onshore winds that keep the temps down, that and showers, some days heavier than others, worthy weather to put the stove on in the evenings after a wet day at work and out cycling...



Most days manage to see some blue sky between the weather building up...


hee hee...







Nice to get out...

Rain cycle; Binning Woods...


Work finished and after a week of rain most days it seemed fit to also cycle in the rain!,
Binning Woods  was ideal on the Single speed in such conditions and with no one around ideal for a spot of filming and i hung the Go Pro from tree branches using the mono pod...




All weather tracks are also now here allowing a mud free cycle if one wishes...



Back home and the waterproofs as well as the bike needed a hose down, a fun couple of hours...

Midweek Cycle; Loop around Whitekirk



Home from work and out late afternoon for a loop around Whitekirk on trails enjoying the high pressure clear blue skies...

Across Beckys Strip Byway and the trail has been cut, 1st time since i used to mow it  2 1/2 years ago when Greenkeeping at Whitekirk....


Everything is slowly starting to green up. the flowering Gorse bushes up on the hill contrasting against the blue sky...






Blackdykes...


Seacliff to Scoughall...


The rain forecasted for Wednesday is needed...


Oilseed...




Back around the great new all weather surface paths at Stonelaws and it was a lovely evening to be out cycling though it was cool with the onshore easterly breeze...


Cold enough to still have the stove on once home...


Here is some film of the loop. Song is `June 9th - 2014` by Boards of Canada

Morning cycle around the lake...


Weekend on at work so up early then as usual on weekends on now, i choose my cycle routes on the morning depending on weather, and this weekend the temperature has again plummeted with a baltic cold north wind, it was 1 degree with an air frost on the car at 5.30am when i left for work.
It is not often the turbine is in this direction! 


So once home i went a short ride mid morning and rode through the local estate to get out the biting cold wind and rode a loop around the lake...







Badgers have been busy!






Stunning views here today...






Home and coffee and more reading...
