I took advantage of a family trip and the reported mild weather to get an early season long ride in.
Going from Edinburgh to Ayr gave a good 80 mile ride along some reasonably quiet roads.
The forecast was for 6 degrees and sunny but that didn’t materialise at all. The sun never broke through at all and it remained closer to zero all day.
Due to the weather at about half way through my attitude had to change, this was no longer a fun ride but had turned into a training ride.
After going through parts of central Scotland I had never seen before and some others where I wouldn’t want to risk going out on my own after dark I arrived in Ayr.
it wasn’t the ride I had been expecting but it was satisfying to get a big mileage in during January.
