Burntisland blockade beats Bigman

Last night, on returning from work, the temperature was reading 23 degrees. This weather had to be enjoyed to the full.

The plan was to do the Burntisland Beaster and return along the coast road via Aberdour, enjoying panoramic views over the Firth of Forth to Edinburgh. I would finish the ride by climbing the Aberdour Ascent.

I guess the omens were not good when the GArmin ran out of juice after 5 miles. I climbed up over the Burntisland Beaster and as I dropped down the other side a motorist heading in the other direction flashed his lights and tooted his horn. I put it down to the friendliness of Fifers and whizzed through the speed sign which flashed 'slow down' to my pleasure. Turning left and started the climb back over to Aberdour only to find the road closed to cars and pedestrians. Getting passed the fence looked difficult which suggested intruders were not welcome.

Nothing else for it but to climb back up the Burntisland Beaster.

I opted to skip the Aberdour Ascent and head directly back to Dunfie.

A good 40 km done on a cracking summer evening

Bring on tomorrow
