A fairly active weekend, with a couple of hours clambering over rock armour on Kirkwall's shore removing copious quantities of washed up nylon rope as part of the annual Bag the Bruck weekend. Serviced my dad's vintage Edinburgh Contour (does that make him a 76 year old Retrobiker?) and replaced an escaped slate on the roof, all on Saturday.
Today I loafed in the morning other than watching footy in the pub, then toiled on the allotment, planting the rest of this year's tatties. FINALLY got out on the road bike for a fairy hard 20 miles before sunset, as the wind had become a brisk SE'ly. Decided that Charge Fork is scything my nadgers as a result of being too high and made adjustments. On doing so saw faded mark suggesting the seat was about 15mm higher than normal...
And just now got a Google Maps API for my website so I can bore everybody with GPS data from my travails... here is sample from last year: http://www.allaboutorkney.com/maps/STROMNESSwithAPIkey.html
I had my GPS logger with me tonight, and while it logged things beautifully, I found the track included a day walking around Edinburgh, and a flight to Shetland in January.
Shower then bed, then wake up with horrible cramp, next on the agenda.
