Sat 21st February 09 - Round Pentland Cycle

Pedalled round the pentlands with Morgan, wasn't the greatest cycle ever due to a strong headwind on the way there and a slight bit of rain on the way back.

Reached a village called Carnwath: it had a few shops and I tried the interesting combination of (reduced) hot cross buns with (reduced) tuna and sweetcorn sandwich filling. Managed to take in a days worth of calories over lunch alone, fairly quickly as well since the war memorial we were sitting on wasn't a great seat, not completely sheltered from the wind.

During the cycle we managed to go through 4 counties! Edinburgh (obviously), Borders, South Lanarkshire and West Lothian.

Finished with an amazing amount of downhill in the dark (no lights). A healthy 63 miles in total.
