Today we went back into our routine after a short day yesterday. We were on the bikes just after 10am in full sun however it still was very cold and frosty! We soon warmed up though. A fairly strait forward ride today following one road from Mauchline to Annan which is just above the Scottish border which we will be finally crossing tomorrow. The beginning of today's ride was good to start but then turned bitterly cold cycling through the lowlands. There was st...

My bed was so warm this morning, light creeping through the crack in the curtains and my eyes slowly opening ready for the cycle ahead for the day. I get down from my bunk and stroll over to pull them open ... Snow. We had heard the weather forecast yesterday but we didn't believe it after the day we had! However to our dismay it was true. A blizzard of snow flakes being blown horizontally from left to right. We went back to bed. A few minutes later we realised...

Our ride today immediately started with a huge climb to the top of Rannoc...

After being able to get away from here after having a half hour conversation about how she keeps bees we set off just after 10:00. It was a great day for cycling today much different from yesterday. We did around 65 miles with hardly any wind and a day full of sunshine! I ...
