Used to play regularly up til a few years ago but when both calf muscles got torn I decided to pack it in and get a bike instead..loved playing it but it was bloody hard going at times...

Interesting ride out earlier.. did the Carrick Hills route again dropping into the village of Minishant and instead went south this time turning left onto the Straiton Road then turning left at the crossroads to head into Dalrymple.. it was then I could see what I thought was sheets of rain heading my way... coming up the big hill out of Dalrymple the clouds opened with what appeared to be hail.. and a nasty head wind as well....10/15 mins of sheer misery cycling thru that.... Picked up the National Route 7 back into Ayr with now blue skies and sunshine so stayed on the seafront out to the pier and then home
24 miles and soaked to the core....
Road kill count..2 very dead pheasants...

Two weeks in Puerto Pollenca in Majorca booked for Aug.. can't fucking wait tbh....

I like Presto..there I said it...

It's still dog owners...

How much mileage you getting out yer chain... my bike was in for a few checkups.. was told the chain was on the cusp of being done..500 miles.. was expecting it to last a few more miles...

Yep pretty much firing on all cylinders here save for Tai Shan which is awful.. although the  signs were there on Power Windows  to beware closing tracks with the awful Mystic Rhythms which spoiled an otherwise perfect album..

Carrick hills run again.. which gets me up to 500 miles since the New Year
Another glorious day....

Sound Chaser Patrick Moraz ..quite a handsome track

Yes but not as we know it....

Relayer is light-years ahead of CttE imho

Italy fail to make World Cup again.. blimey...

Side 1 of AFTK is just great.. never tire of listening to it.. was the first album I heard so always have a nice feeling when I hear it.. side 2 on the other hand not so much.. Cygnus I have to say just bores me now.. Madrigal you got to wonder like why??? the other two tracks.. a couple of inoffensive radio friendly songs

Emerson Lake and Palmer
Todd Rundgren's Utopia

A remark from jonners about the Rush debut..never owned it or listened to it in its entirety.. just wondering what bands/artists have debut albums that folks reckon are still worth it....?

Back on the Ayr to Troon National 7 route again with the Mrs.. another sunshiney day with a pretty cold breeze blowing.. decided @Troon to follow a local cycle network route further on to Barassie which lead us nicely down to its seafront.. glorious views of Arran and Alisa Craig....bit of a head wind heading home via Troon and the national 7 route... no plane spotters today at Prestwick....

24 miles round trip with a stop in Troon for a small cone 99...
