Snowy bike ride

Just under 30km (by 20m), at 22km/hr, held back a bit by snow and wind. Standing snow on higher roads made for caution, otherwise ok. Snow showers stinging the eyes made for a repeat of the Applecross experience

Longish slowish Saturday ride

50.13km at moving average of 23.8km/hr. Ok, but never felt fast. Cold towards the end as the sun set. Started and finished in Inverurie.

54.4km at 24.2 km/hr, around Insch, Auchleven, Keig, Bridge of Alford and home. Felt appallingly weak!

Cycle into Aberdeen plus Whitehills plod

The trip into Aberdeen was bizarrely only 29.29km (average speed 26.1km/hr). Usual route, so don't know where a km has gone. Then to Whitehills for a sluggardly plod and one long wait for Minnie. Average moving speed 7'02"/km) over 5.80km

Slow bike ride

What seemed to be a very slow ride on a cool still night. Average moving speed 24.1km over 32.24km - reasonably hilly - 380 m up and down

Slow long bike ride to Insch

Long slow ride, recovering from Angela and Andy's wedding excesses, so no surprise when I ran out of energy after about 1 1/2 hours. 53.6km at 23.3km/hr (2 hours 17). Routing to Chapel of Garioch, Oyne, Insch, Auchleven, Oyne, towards Inverurie, back to Chapel and then down to Burnhervie and home. Beautiful day, although some breeze may have slowed the Oyne to Insch leg.

Three Peaks - with no-one else

Cycled into Inverurie - 13.2km, 30'14" at 26.2km/hr. Arrived late (0938), nobody there so waited until 0945, and then set off. Then around Chapel of Garioch, down to Burnhervie and back to Monymusk and around the Pitmunie loop - 28.03km, 1hr15'58", average speed 22.2km/hr Absolutely nothing in my legs (I blame the Prosecco accident).
