Back on the Trucker


I haven't been out on the Long Haul Trucker for over a month. Building and riding the On-One Fatty then getting caught up in all sorts of boat mischief has meant that I've not been putting any decent cycling miles. There's only one way to sort that out, so a bit of air in the tyres and off I went on Sunday morning.


Last week's storms have passed but there was still a northerly wind and a bit of sea running. I just headed along the coast to Cockburnspath then turned back and went around the power station at Torness on the way back.



Big sea and a bigger sky.


  

 
Just some of the thousands of  13 tonne 'Dolos' blocks that dissipate the waves around the power station.


Barns Ness lighthouse in the distance.



Rowan berries at Broxburn on the way home. Not very far, about twenty miles but it was good to get back into a couple of hours of steady cycling.

  1. Nice to see the Trucker on the road, and interesting to see the weather. I guess fall will arrive in Texas one of theses days.

    1. It was good to get back on the trucker. Autumn, or fall, is definitely here in Scotland, although the temperature is still around 10 degrees Celsius (50f)

  2. It only takes a couple of hours on two wheels to get the fix... -:)
