The challenge: To cycle 200 miles during April 2023

As predicted we had a couple of days of grubby weather with lots of wind, rain and even some hail. My bike decided it was going back into hibernation and did not emerge from the garage.

Friday 14th April: Woke up to bright sunshine and no wind. Yes it was cold, but, hey after the last couple of days…….

It’s not going to last, however, rain predicted by 1200. Tomorrow is predicted to be a better day – all day! Planning a cycle ride tomorrow.

I have to go to the shops for a couple of wee things this morning. This weather is bugging me. It’s sooooo nice! I go down to the garage and wake the bike up. A wee cycle to the shops will help with my #TeamHighlandHospice charity ride total.

So off I go to a couple of shops in town. Goods into rucksack and turn for home.

Nah!……

Take the long way home!

A quick wee 23 Km (14 miles) added to the total.

Let’s hope the weather holds for tomorrow!

It’s Saturday 15th April, and true to form the weather is beautiful. Sun, no wind – ok it’s only 9’C, but you cant have everything!

So it’s bike out and off we go to the “Bootlegger’s Bar and Grill” in Hopeman for lunch. Helen drives down to join me, but it’s holiday season and she has to park miles away at the harbour 😂🤣 – you should have cycled!!!!

Lovely meal with a lovely view. Great service.

After lunch, it’s time to dash back home because we are off to Nairn to have fish suppers with our folks – better get another few cans of G&T on the way then!!!!

Another really nice cycle ride of about 46 Km (28.5 miles) ✅.

That’s me up to 155 miles in total, 77% of the way to my target. Over three quarters done now 😁!

Only 45 miles to go!

I am away next week at work.

But the weather looks great, so guess what?

The bike is going with me……………😁
