This weekend El was feeling a bit better and wanted to get out and about. We went to Burnmouth which is a place I'd like to include in my cycle diaries but the road is just to steep for me!
We tried to enjoy a wee picnic but it became a little weird when a pensioner couple parked their car a couple of feet from us and then sat drinking out of their thermal mugs and staring at us. I wasn't offended, just a little perturbed as to what they regarded as a day out.
Fly wasn't bothered at all.
Sunday and I went out to the Heron to take down the flags I had dressed her with for 'Lifeboat Day'. I stopped at the sailing club to help clear up from Saturdays excess.
I didn't stay long because I'm well behaved.....
Oh yeah, forgot to mention, I bought a 62cm Long Haul Trucker frameset, old trucaccino! Don't tell El. This is going to mean a lot of handbags and shoes!
Nice one on the frame purchase Ped! -:)
ReplyDeleteYeah CK, going to be a slow build hunting down good kit at the right price. Just the job for Sustrans trail trips next year? I wonder what you could get?
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the LHT! Maybe your readers will be able to enjoy stories of longer, more gear intensive adventures soon?
ReplyDeleteI hope to get some longer trips done. Overnights are difficult for me to arrange but I have a few ideas for 50-60 mile rides. Lots of history to explore but I have a build-up to do first!
DeleteHello there:

A LHT is on my list of bikes to own one day good luck with it .......
ReplyDeleteTo be honest Mark I was looking for a Cross Check frame when the LHT came up. Right size at the right price, I'm sure you know the feeling.
