I also did a spot of fishing of the rocks at Lagg and caught a load of pollocks, one of which was so big I was able to give it to a neighbour for their supper.
Having done all this cycling, I thought, as I sat down on the MV Finlaggan for the two hour crossing back to Kennacraig, that, after all, I really deserved one of these:
Thankfully I laid off the beans.
It was back to London after eating a wee bit too much on the virgin cheap superclass fare I found
that, in spite of cycling 159 miles up in Scotland I had weighed in at 14 7. After some frantic riding including 74.5 today, This is down to 14 again.
Today's ride took in the hills that will be used for Ride100. They weren't the actual ones as they are being manufactured in a factory in Chesterfield.
The hills are not lung busting as there would be considerable congestion if half the riders got of and walked. Leith Hill was the one I needed to check out but it was the hillage south out of Shere that were hardest. Box Hill seemed lame after those. I zipped up its world renowned zigzags.
Thanks Chris, down there at FGW, for your support.
Total for the week: 193 miles
