Me and Bertie (The Bike) have a one way ticket to Portland, Oregon, USA – yipee – very excited. Booked my flight last week but had to make a separate phone-call and book Bertie independently, which was a bit disconcerting as I had visions of being told “sorry, no can do” but all seems to be going to plan so far – I just need to book a flight back but I’ve got a couple of months before I need to think about that.
As to other news ran 14+ miles on Friday and another 15+ on Saturday – so Mission Berlin is going to plan so far. My run took me past the duck pond – I’ve not been that way for about 5 weeks and the cygnets have got much bigger.
Sunday had a great 74 mile bike ride – Stirling to Comrie (via Bridge of Allan and Braco) and back (via Strathyre and Callander) – mostly quite roads and some cycle paths – not sure if the pint of cider at The Lade Inn, helped or hindered my legs but it went down very nicely.
