So yesterday was a lovely day and while running aimlessly around the hockey pitch i thoought to myself tomorrow young (ish) girl you're going out for run on Geraldine (my bike for the uneducated).
So i set my alarm and off I tootled to bed.
Sunday morning came and it was a cracking day. Abraham my wee dog just looked at me bemused.."whats she doin out of bed before noon on a Sunday" he thought (either that or "i'm hungry, i like walks, throw a ball for me...")
So i decided to check if i could remember to put on my luggage...after 30 minutes of faffing...i decided i couldn't (only kidding) and gosh darn it i'm hitting the road.
So i dug out my bike kit and donned my NEW BOOTS (TCX Infinity's)...as i waded to the door i thought mmmm might need to break these in a bit more before the Oirland trip.
So at 1530 off i toddled. (I'd got distracted by chores) Geraldine started first time (hadn't turned a wheel since Dec) and we popped into the petrol station for provisions, air for her tyres, petrol for her tank and a Starbar for me..
It certainly felt odd, the four months away from biking had resulted me in being as flexible as a plank added to which my new boots caused me to change gear unintentionally and occasionally miss the brake altogether (parrrrrrrrrrrp)
So the trip was on...Blackness Castle...A lovely wee place on the Forth where i stopped, sat in the sun and ate my Starbar...
Shame about all the crap on the road en route...by crap i mean poo, shite, manure, cow bowel contents...however we negotiated with the expertise of someone used to avoiding flying shit towards fans (Its a work thing).
So all in all i had a fab wee run...by wee i mean wee...for those of you who know me and where i live I rode a total of 15 miles...ha ha Epic indeed....
Hey it was just a wee run out but I enjoyed it none the less...
I hope you all had a fab weekend of more epic adventures..
