Route : Some quiet lanes and tracks in the vicinity of the Scottish fishing village of Eyemouth
Crew : Pete
Conditions: 6C and 20mph winds, lots of big puddles ..but fantastic, low “Northern Winter” sunshine
Notes:
It is a Thursday afternoon, Xmas eve.
I have brought my Cotic hardtail up here (with newly fitted 1×10 drivetrain 🙂 ) with the intention of revisiting some old haunts that I have not seen in 10 years.
In the 1990s when my daughters were knee high and my in-laws were younger we came up to Eyemouth lots ..and I would bring my 1991 Kona Cindercone, replete with solid fork and cr@p brakes.
It was time to ride these lanes and tracks again. With the Cheviots on one horizon , and the North Sea on the other …it is hard not to feel at ease with the world 🙂
