Avoch-Rosemarkie-Eathie-Cromarty-Mount Eagle-Killen-Mount High- Avoch -35 miles
Another lovely ride but very very windy. Before i set out i tried to judge which way the wind was blowing but every five minutes it looked like it had changed direction. So nothing else for it ..... i had to 'man up', stop looking for the easy option and just get on my bike and ride.
I headed along to Rosemarkie then climbed up the hill to Eathie, i did this hill on my second ever ride and remember feeling like i'd climbed Kilimanjaro. With a lot more ease and a much better pace i happily got to the top, however i did have one problem, the flies .....i'm wondering right now if i can still call myself a vegetarian, if they're not smacking me in the face they're finding their way into my mouth ....spitting is totally not cool but what else can i do ???
Moving on..... i rode up and down the Black Isle hills sometimes into the wind which was 'refreshing' and sometimes with it behind me, taking in the lovely country scenery and getting high on the smell of manure .....dont you just love country living ??
So i think thats it till Applecross this weekend.... cant wait ;-)
