Well tonight was a beautiful night for a ride so took the above route.
Left Muir of Ord and headed out towards Marybank and out to the main road to Contin.
Took a right up Kinnahaird (killer hill) to Strathpeffer. Into Strath and on into Dingwall and
on to Maryburgh. From the Maryburgh roundabout took the cycle path up the A835 to Tore.
At Tore, took the right (via the cycle path to avoid being flattened by heavy traffic) and back
down to Muir of Ord.
Back in the Muir took the Mulbuie road to complete the ride with a nice 1.5 mile climb.
Perfect way to finish the evenings ride.
27.4 miles in 1hr 40 mins. Average speed 16.7 mph.
For the first time, I had the delights of riding without the rain jacket. Set off with it, but
after climbing Kinnahaird, decided to shed it. Only option I had was to securely wrap it
around the cross bar. This provided muchannoyance as the thighs rubbed it with every stroke.
Ever so slightly, but just enough to do my head in.
Roll on tomorrow PM when I will tackle the Black Isle me thinks. A route of approx 50 miles
followed by one on Sunday of similar. Want to now push the boat out and do back to back
distances to see how the legs hold out.
Cheers
Hindo
