Methil No More? Well One Can Hope.

So, I'm just back from my first fully-laden training ride - up to deepest Fife yesterday then back today. Good news and bad news - First, the good news is that my bike seems to handle considerably better than I thought it would given it had ~20kg of kit on it, actually quite serene. However, the bad news is that my legs don't handle the extra 20kg of kit quite so well - fecked!

However the over-riding feeling was relief at having survived the wilds of that part of the world with only one of the locals shouting abuse at me. To be honest, I was actually pleasantly surprised by the non-urban parts of the 'Kingdom' with some very pleasant sights such as this little waterfall somewhere near Aberlour.
