Wednesday 1st July
Well……….Two 7 Stanes in one day, sore legs tomorrow.
The weather was overcast but no rain was forecast and the
wife wanted out on her bike, who am I to argue.
We drove down to Kirroughtree and did the blue trail which
was as usual very enjoyable. As we cycled round “Larg Hill” on a section of straight
forest road, the wife decided to head for the ditch. I couldn’t believe my
eyes. I think that she was multi-tasking as women do, she just managed to stop as
the front wheel started to descend into the ditch. We continued on (after I managed
to stop laughing) following the blue trail till we reached the Gem Stane.
The pond at the Gem Stane is very picturesque with all the Lilies
floating in it. Once back at the Visitor’s Centre we had bacon rolls and coffee.
I sometimes think that the wife only comes with me for the treats at the end
off the rides.

We then drove over to Glentrool Visitor’s Centre where I did
the Blue Trail to see how fast I could get round it as I’m trying to build up
my stamina and lose some weight. The wife decided to have a nap in the car or
do some après cycling and watch the young bucks instead of going with me, but I
think she was disappointed as I looked like the youngest male there.

When I got back I was treated to my favourite coffee and
toastie at the café. This makes it all worth while.
