' My names Louise and i'm a bike-a-holic '

This week so far ......

Tuesday - 28 Miles

Up and down the beautiful hills on black isle, killen, rosemarkie, feddon hill, munlochy, ord hill ...... to many to mention ..............

Wednesday - 22 Miles

It was slightly cooler tonight when i left Avoch but still mild enough to make cycling a joy..... I headed through Rosemarkie and had a steady climb up to Eathie, what a view from the top, over to Nairns sandy beaches. On i pedalled for a couple of miles on the quiet country lanes, in fact, i don't think a single car passed me along the Eathie Road. I climbed over the brow of the last hill and then i found myself having a bit of moment, i was looking down over the Cromarty Firth, miles of countryside below and a beautiful red sky to top it all of. All of a sudden i felt very lucky to live in such a pretty part of the world. Then in an instant,  i was off........gears up, head down, elbows in and away i went down the hill to Cromarty at 31mph, i cant tell you how much i love hills now !! I'm even thinking about having Aero bars fitted, and no that's nothing to do with chocolate in case your wondering..... i finished my ride with 10 leisurely miles back to Avoch.
