Tweedlove Skinny Sportive

A return to the Peebles the day after my 18.5 mile run for a nearly 50 mile cycle ! A reasonable start time for the cycle with starts up to 10.30 am but I got there by around 9 am. There were unfortunately long queues in setting riders off which seemed excessively cautious on there part.

The first part of the route was quite nice made easier but helpful wind direction.

The latter parts were more painful when the wind blew very strongly into the face. The route again had a mile or more along the A703 and the very fast moving traffic which I really don't enjoy.

Overall - unless they change the route I think this is one to skip in future years.
