Oot on the road bike for a brisk 41 miles from Kirkwall to Birsay and back. It was brassers and I can barely feel my legs yet- perhaps shorts was a bad idea when the temp was 7 and a bit C, and the wind was from the north. The much praised Charge Spoon failed to live up to expectations, and chafing ensued. More experimentation required. If my Lands End to JoG dream is to happen, nadly comfort is a priority. Anybody else fancy A Really Long Run?
I'll need to get a new chain on Tufftrax 2 to match the new cassette, and do a bit more retro riding. Tufftrax 1 is in Falkirk at the powdercoaters just noo so anticipation is high for that.
Thanks for the website encouragement (
http://www.allaboutorkney.com) chaps, much appreciated. I've been toiling away at that still, and hope to have a publicity boost from Radio Orkney in the next couple of days. If ever you make it up to Orkney give me a shout. You ever across Jamie?
Here's a picture of the Brough of Birsay today for Gazz.
