Starting as I mean to go on....I went by car to the edge of Ayr yesterday, then by bike up the National Cycle Route 7..
The aim was to meet up with the Ayr Burners clubruns at their post-run coffee stop..with 20+ riders out they split into two or three groups according to ability then meet at the end for coffee.
It is easier then to meet up with them and keep up with the chat if you are in a car or riding alone.
I should have stayed there longer and had lunch!
I pottered on alone as far as Irvine...where the cafes were mostly full..and nothing like a simple meal available, either fancy food or a huge plateful!!
Back along the NCR 7, skirting all the preparations for the Open Golf Tournament...I think we will all be avoiding Troon for a while!!
Luckily I keep a box of nibbles in the car...dried fruit and nuts..and I always carry a drink.
It was beautiful weather, warm with a light breeze...and a colourful sunset well after 10pm.
Apologies that I missed the evening birdsong...and just caught the traffic noise from roads a mile away.
It is overcast now...just when today's washing is ready to go on the line!
I'm glad I went out on the bike yesterday...today has been housework day..I'm not ready for cycling every day, but I hope to go for a walk later.

...I wish you a Joyous June.
So glad you went riding! Glad you have snacks to keep you going. Which reminds me, the nuts in the glove compartment in my car might be getting old...might need to eat some! You sure had a good day out.
I'm glad you got out on the bike. I know what Rick is like when he misses it too long. Good for the soul. Happy June.
Excellent!
glad you were able to get out, we've had a not so good spring here in Eastern Washington, haven't ridden nearly as much as I would like to. Forecast is improving later in the week, so there's hope!
The weather was perfect for a good bike ride and meeting friends. Beautiful landscape views are ideal too. Lovely day.
Great day out.
You sound to be doing very well. I am sorry not to have commented earlier but now - on 'end of life' myself I am afraid I missed reading of your loss. My thoughts are with you.
Thankyou Pat.
I'm managing...the day before he died, he said Keep Smiling....so I'm carrying on doing things we did together...which was just about everything.
Still feels odd without him.
A good ride is always a pick me up and meeting up with friends is a bonus.
Lovely video. Never mind the audio.
It sounds like a good day.
