Glassford, Strathaven, EK Loop
Lovely day albeit still a little breezy and a few puddles around, so wearing a white jersey wasn't the best plan. Back roads from Strathaven to EK are lovely to ride on, mostly smooth, low hedges so good visibility and very little traffic.

Drumsagard Loop
Bit chilly at times with the wind, especially out of the sun, but had to take advantage of it being dry to get out for a bit and not be stuck on MyWhoosh.

I'm a Zwift junkie these days (have been for a couple of years now) so I was wondering, is MyWhoosh cartoons like Zwift, or real footage like Rouvy appears to be?

Lovely day, arm warmers on for about the first 15 minutes then down to just shorts and jersey. Lots of other cyclists and horse riders about, only surprise is naebody was taps aff. 😂

Motherwell, Bellshill, Uddingston, Bothwell Loop
Sun shining and as warm as it gets for February so got the road bike out for the first time since November. Forgot how much less pressure hydraulic brakes take to apply, and how nice DI2 shifting is!

Blantyre Triangle
What a difference a week makes. Frozen canals, thermal bib tights, full overshoes and winter jacket replaced with a little bit of sun, shorts and leg warmers, jersey and gilet and toe covers.

Canal, Drumpellier Country Park, Coatbridge Loop
Chilly one but at least dry. Lots of work been done on the paths, NCN 74 has had a cleaning crew on it and NCN 75 has a new path section where you leave the road to the Monklands Canal, used to be an absolute quagmire there.

Blantyre, Uddingston, Park Loop
Chilly but stayed dry despite a wee threat to rain at the start. First time I've been to the old AA Battery since the paths and roads were upgraded, much better now they're gravel rather than dirt.

Shakedown Ride
Planned my usual Loch loop but the bridge was closed for maintenance, just a quick ride to make sure all the issues with my gravel bike are now fixed.

It's rare that karma gives such instant results, but as I passed the bus stop outside Hamilton Central an idiot in an Audi close passed me as I was going past a bus. He obviously heard my "pleasantries" and stopped to shout at me. Being a classy guy he then tried to spit at me through his passenger
