Cracking Part 2

Well, the other week I went around the Strath as I reported, a total of 27.4 miles in 1 hr 40 mins.
 
Tonight with Martin Kerr, threw in another twist with a good climb up to Marybank, followed by good descent. Into Strath up Kinnahaird and then back through Dingwall, Tore and finally Mulbuie. Altogether a total of 29.4 miles by the CatEye in 1 hr 42. Average speed, 17.2 mph.
 
I must admit I had a sidewind out of Strath, but kept the average speed up. Up to Tore was a bit of a torture with a headwind. However, Tore top Muir was another 28 mph constant run to the Muir (aided by that tail wind).  Flagged a bit due to not much drink back towards Muir, but got second wind. Through the S bend near Brians, was picking up again and motoring, when 2 guys passed me. What????  Needless to say it was a motivator to stick with them until Mulbuie turn.
 
Headed off up the hill, which never seems to get easier and back home. Tea waiting (thanks Pet). Love Ya. xxxx
 
Anyway, now chilling and having early night.
 
Cheers
