Another day in the local Lammermuir Hills and another loop on gravel tracks, and today it was around the Whiteadder reservoir, some of these tracks are quite rough with big stones and sharp edges so don't think it looks real smooth when you watch the film as the Go Pro HERO 10 Image stablistaion does an amazing job of smoothing out the film, watch G`s bike juddering on the stones on some of the descents, 29+ wheels are our order of the day for riding up here...
Yeah I know... you should have a gravel bike blah blah blah...
Well, I wonder if the owners of them will say the same in 10 years when there suffering from knackered hand and wrist joints and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome from straining neck joints riding on drop bars?...
I still cannot honestly see how such a bike must be a delight to ride down or up such climbs, but if that floats your boat and you enjoy that then carry on!...
This loop today took in approx 13 miles with some good steep ascending and long descents requiring you keeping an eye ahead while trying to not get too distracted by the distant amazing views from the roof of the Lammermuir Hills...
Another ace day, clear blue skies while down on the coast was enveloped in sea haar and cooler temperatures...
Wee film again, well not that wee!, songs are by Christ. and Jakatta
I live in East Lothian, S.E. Scotland.
I fill my time with my hobbies, interests and passions. Often cycling along the coast here. I ride steel bikes with big wheels, I like to enjoy all interests of the coast, Its scenery, wildlife, local history, with my other interests in art and music when out and about...
I was diagnosed with Relapsing remitting Multiple Sclerosis in August 2018, it`s early days but i plan to continue to live my life as i have and show that having a medical condition like MS does not mean you need to stop enjoying your life,
Please excuse the bad grammar, i am working on it!
