Please can the sun come out!

We’ve had a lot of unseasonably cold weather in Edinburgh, Scotland. I started off on 1st April with a 15 minute swim in 5degrees C seawater with Nette at Cellardyke, certainly helps change behavior! Catherine has been training hard up to six hours perday. I have tried to spend everyday on the Turbo, trying to escape the cold. Still have to do the day job. Except Friday 5th rode 50 miles around Loch Tay and Ben Lawers but ended up walking one mile through snow down to Bridge of Balbie, Glenlyon, Fortingall, Kenmore, South Loch Tay Road, Killin. Sat 6th 28 miles around Edinburgh with friends Leela & Malcolm along the seafront, Joppa to Crammond. Sunday 7th got frozen again riding 35 miles out to Gladhouse Reservoir. Today back to the turbo. Fundraising page is set up for the transamerica ride for WaterAid at https://www.justgiving.com/twobikesacrossamerica  Have more turbo, longer rides, a tour, a century, Scottish Bike Show planned for the rest of April. Oh and more Sufferfest turbo! Please can the sun come out! Chris
