25 miles yesterday.. Ayrshire coast road again to Dunure  which boasts on its welcome sign Outlander filming location...nice little village with small harbour..... so a quick tour of that then back up onto main road and back the way I came then turning off for another trip up and over the Carrick Hills then picking up earlier routes and home

Gave up on the original .. managed a few seasons of Fear twd then gave up on that....

Off to see Derren Brown tonight at the Kings Theatre Glasgow .. should have been April 2020...

My wife reckons her's started after a Rush show.... Doesn't bother her too much just a constant hum sometimes when there's no other noise...

He turned up on the itv ..Our House 4 part thriller on just now...

Don't bother with Our House btw 4 hours wasted ..it's shit..

Was a bit undecided about going out today..... weather was starting to close in..windy rainy still a bit of brightness but decided what the hell....glad I did... obviously rubbish weather keeps the walkers/dog walkers indoors so less obstacles for me to overcome... intention was going to get to Dunure on the coast do a circuit of that and see where the force would take me......quick change of plan 3 miles in and decided to try the Carrick Hills again... a bit of battle climbing up but worth it on the descent... reaching the heady speeds of 27 miles an hour.. took a new route off the hills thru the little village of Knockdon which I'd. never heard of.. again a nice freewheeling exit from that village down to the main road where I joined up with earlier routes thru Minishant/Alloway/Seafront and Pier....Weather was now pretty nasty by this time so quick route home into a very strong headwind

20 miles..very enjoyable

The mrs gave me Richard Osman's Thursday Murder Club to read .. made a start a few days ago

Another sunshiney day so back out again... this time on the coastal route..out towards Dunure and dropping into Maybole....a closed road forced me into a back road I knew nothing about but eventually brought me out just south of the village of Minishant.. where I picked up a part of the route from yesterday and dropped into Alloway and past Burns Cottage to a cycle path next to the river and then onto the seafront...coastal route was pretty hilly and riding into the wind so was absolutely knackered.. called it a day as had a Thai curry to make so headed home

23 miles but it felt longer....

Woman today with dog not on lead who was so immersed on her phone and had no spatial awareness at all.. get out the fucking way love.... and your dog...

Yep I'm all for plenty of room from cars but some folks are right over onto the other side even on upcoming bends and hills.. madness

Think the morons were out in force today

Dogs on stupidly long leads
Walkers taking the whole width of the path
Bloke reversing out of parking place and not noticing me
Woman stepping off pavement onto cycle path and not noticing me

My red/orange jacket must be some kind of invisibility cloak

Another beautiful day in Ayr so did the reverse circuit from yesterday with a few little changes.... Up thru Belleisle and Rozelle Parks out to the cycle path which pretty much follows the main A77 out to the small village of Minishant which is where I found a nice connecting road up to the single path track taking me up to the Carrick Hills..  back down to join the Route 7 cycle path and into Burns Land and back out to the seafront and Pier then home

Was hoping for more but turned in 21 miles....

Out on my route today  and started wondering what others' experiences were.. so for the most part i,m on designated cycle paths/routes so you encounter folks out for walks with dogs with kids etc etc..so folk coming towards can for the most part see you coming so tend to get out the way.. it's the folks that can't see you coming that pose the problem... so being the nice person I am will ring my bell many times in some instances to alert them. Some will get out the way others will stare at you like the devil incarnate.. what's ur fucking problem?.. others can't control their fucking dogs and look at you like you're in the wrong..others seem to completely over react like what the hell you doing on a bike on this path...

Anyone else with similar experiences?

Never realised he was engaged to Liz Hurley...
