Weekend Cycling with friends... Pt 2 of 2...




Sunday dawned lovely with a big blue sky and big fluffy clouds drifting by out to sea,
Dave an i swapped the bikes back to Fat Wheels for a ride to the coast at Seacliff...


 We rode up Whitekirk Hill first to show Dave the ace views from my old work place...

Defunct and very unlikely to ever return the course is disappearing, the greens now lost...






Dave doing a `coastkid` on the Cairn...

360 big sky views...








We rode north over Becky`s Strip Byway and minor road to Seacliff...





Surviving original Steading...


Wee film from Gleghornie to Auldhame
Song is `Bubble Gum` by Stereo Lab

Song is `One too many Lifestyles`  artist unknown...

The beach was already busy with families so we got along to the start of the rocks and within a few hundred yards had the place to ourselves...


A big playground for Fatbikes...


I managed to punch a hole in the rear tyre which deflated rather quickly,  a tyre worm would probably re sealed it but i had none.  More tyre sealant failed to seal it so i stuck a tube in and we were soon rolling again...
New tyre ordered as it`s over a year old quite worn with a lot of cuts and scars on the sidewalls...






We did some filming on a tech rock section before blasting across Peffersands to Ravensheugh,
Here is some film at the Harbour then once onto the Carr rocks...
Song is a track from the soundtrack for the movie Rumblefish...

Then along The Secret Trail and across to Tyninghame for soup at the cafe, then a blast to East Linton via Binning woods for ice Cream!...

Preston Kirk...


Will come back to here for another blog post on a famous East Lothian resident laid to rest here...

Wee film,
Song is `There`s No Other Way` by Blur...

Sunday Cycle; Aug 17 Pt 4 from coastkid71 on Vimeo.

Heading back to HQ on trails and watched some motorcycle racing...






Then finished the ride through the abandoned Hospital...
Song is `Tears From The Compound Eye` by Boards of Canada...

What great weekend!
