decision time

More road running today but it helped to clear my head after slightly unpleasant day at work. I'm trying to do the most amount of hill in the shortest distance which is making for some pretty boring runs. But I had lots think about today...

Unfortunately Rich is unable to make Strathpuffer and the 'likely suspects' I've been badgering have all politely declined. There's only one thing for it, I'm doing it solo. So, to singlespeed or to not singlespeed, that is the question?

Singlespeed - One girl, one gear! (Disclaimer: I have never ridden a singlespeed and am too scared so far to try though I'm very good at being brave when its other people putting the effort in!). Can you take a geared bike too just in case?

I hadn't realised it was 24 hours. I knew it was in the depths of a Scottish winter which was bad enough!

Actually bring both bikes, you'll need them. So while Jane is changing brake pads on one you can keep riding. Really wish I could have done it with you.
