So you are saying you did it then.

Getting paid to shout at cyclists? Where do I sign up?

Into the last week of June, the weather is great but only about four people here have ridden their bikes. You bunch of losers!

We are equal opportunity haters.

Might have knocked some sense into the silly bint.

Well I heard you sucked off a moose.

There better be some ride reports coming or @busabeast will be visiting you all.

Last will and testament would be more meaningful.

Just as well there is no bike of the month just now as I would have won it easily for June.

Aliens.

It is obvious that Fred has never been here because the sheep don’t run away. After heading over the tops I started towards Gifford and was greeted with views towards the Firth of Forth and the Bass Rock. Also something familiar to Fred. More of what you all want of course. I have a picture of my Thruxton R at this same spot a few years ago. Then I headed home via the takeaway. I was a good afternoon ride.

I wanted to ride the Lammermuir Hills as it has been a while and the last time was well before I fitted the new shocks. I headed over some nice twisty country roads and through Duns before turning off and heading for Longformacus and up into the hills. Miles of single track roads with little traffic and a few cattle grids and many sheeps. This was looking back from where I had come from. This was where I was headed. The views were spectacular as always. That is Watch Water Reservoir in the distance.

So today after church I headed out to get some new summer gloves, my short leather gloves are a little warm on days like today so I wanted some that were better vented, I found these in 3XL which were perfect for my big tall person hands. I needed to test them out so I headed out of town, I got them at J&S on the south side of the City so I headed south and made my way into the borders down the A68 before turning off and heading to Coldstream, about 70 miles. I looked for the Coldstream Guards but they were hiding so I went to the CoOp and got a sandwich and drink and headed to the park to sit in the sun and enjoy this culinary delight. While there I founds evidence of the guards. I sat on a bench overlooking the River Tweed the centre of which is the border between Scotland and England. I also had a nice cigar after my picnic and sat and watched Kingfishers, Herons and Otters down in the river, unfortunately my phone camera wasn’t up to the job of taking those kind of photos but it got me thinking of getting a decent camera. Then I started thinking of heading back.

I’ll let you know where you need to be and when.

Moderator decisions are final, if you have an issue with that I can arrange for you to have a face to face with the site admin so you can discuss it.

Exhaust on the car, it bled well.

Having a break before I head back.

I took a wee bimble to Coldstream.

That will be England then.

He was bever the same after you two bumped uglies.
