Bigman's crown slips as Wee Yin 'dances' to Bus Museum Sprint victory

It was another cracker of a day. The forecast indicated overcast and showers however the sun blazed over Fife setting up another fine day and another opportunity to bag some miles.

Wee Yin and myself set off for an afternoon cup of coffee at Loch Leven's larder, a mere 54 km round trip.

A good pace was set from the beginning as we sped up Townhill Road and the heart began to pump blood faster. We are several weeks away from returning to the French Alps but the weather was a nice reminder of things to come.

Loch Leven's larder was absolutely heaving with folk walking dogs, cycling, pushing prams and taking time to enjoy the wonderful scenery and the great cakes.

The return trip was a tadge more challengng with a strong wind out of the west. The 12 % climb up the north face of Col du Cleish - a further reminder of some alpine climbs to come.

A return to Dunfie just in time for a brew of tea before heading to the fives and another opportunity to burn off even more calories.

Between us we chalked up another 108km around the world
