Great 80km run yesterday with 5 guys on the road.

Larkhall / Braidwood Hill / Yieldshields / Forth / Briech / Polkemmet Country Park / Salsburgh / Newhouse.

Superb weather and not too much wind.

Here's Alex, The Slab, Colin and Higgy enjoying the scoff at the cafe.

Great pic Pete.
Sunday was a blast, especially the downhill from Harthill to Newhouse roundabout. (And the smell of the bacon rolls at Polkemmet - must get one next time!)
Only downside was the two drivers playing wacky races in the Clyde Valley and out past Yieldshields.
By the time Graeme and I got back to Larkhall, the average pace was 17.1mph, the fastest I've been on a Sunday run.
Need to remember suncream, though - my missus isn't too taken by the cyclist's tan I'm developing.
I might struggle for next Sunday - I have to be in Glasgow for 1.30, so hoping to get out on Saturday. If anyone's interested, let me know - [email protected]
(Bike went in to Billy Bilslands this morning - Sram Red 2013 gruppo getting fitted tomorrow. Be still my beating heart......) Very Happy

But what happened to following the routes described in the calendar (before the run).I know somebody who did the Muirkirk run hoping to meet up (not me obviously I only made it it the cafe and back)
