glorious morning/hideous eyeache(aka-solo broch clubrun!)

What a cracker of a morning,but as can be expected on a bonny day...my left eye had leaked(C.S.R),so I had horrendous eye pain.However,with results this year being so poor I thought,dammit i'm going out. 2hr 15 total with 1hr30 @tempo=even horrendous-er(sic) eye pain so a Zolmitriptan tab was necked before FORCING food down (as the eyes/head felt so bad).The lang legs were ok though,so winter bike now tested(vittoria zaffiro pro classic tyres-£8.99 fae Ribble get a thumbs up).Only saw 1 cyclist(another of the new breed who can barely be a*sed to wave/speak.What is it nowadays with a bit of courtesy to fellow cyclists? Even had to open the zips on jerseys with the warmth! Squeezed through 2 cars(drivers having a natter) on a hedge lined bend(1 facing normally and 1 parked ACROSS, yes,ACROSS the road-one of my infamous comments was left hanging in the air.......). A snooze on the settee with Buster(puss)and 1/2 watching I.C.T. being robbed by Partick Thistle and eventually the eye pain has subsided a bit. Recovery week over,let the nonsense commence again.Lovely Jubbly!

P.S. I read with total jealousy the Ross-shire Roads club run reports-which seem to be a total blast.That is what inspires me to type a few lines.

 Hi Pete, Read with mixed feelings your run report, we got out yesterday as well six of us mamaged a nice little34 miles at 16.5 mph. Nice to have Alana with us.

I thought it would be a good idea to take the bike up north for a week on a recent trip to the homeland. On arriving north in Kirkwall I discovered I had left my Helmet back in forest so I figured i could use the old woolly and get out on sunday and get some good training in so heres the weeks training report

Sun 9am weather cold 8 deg constant drizzle but no wind no helmet so canna cycle.
mon 9am same as above
