\"Faaaark!\"My right knee, which I creamed so thoroughly bunny hopping Shackleton down at Elie a couple of weeks ago, is now too painful to go for my Monday swim. It hurts when I put weight on it with the leg twisted, or when I do breastroke kick, and I don’t think I’m up to doing 40 lengths at crawl pace so today I am resting it.<\/p>\n

I can still run, though, and cycling isn’t painful as long as I go easy on the leg braking, so that’s not so bad.<\/p>\n

Scotrail<\/a> have done the singularly crap thing of failing to provide any trains capable of getting a cyclist into Edinburgh for 0830 on a Saturday morning. How Frood<\/a> and I are supposed to get to the start of the Edinburgh – St Andrews is beyond me. We’re not bloody riding there — we’re already looking at 20 miles more than everyone else just to get home, and the Ottery one has never done a century. It would be a bit much to expect him to ride the 50-odd miles into Edinburgh beforehand.<\/p>\n

Access 2000 is so much more of a pain that the previous version. I’m on my third solution for adding new data using a combo box<\/a>, and I’m still getting errors (type mismatch in this one, no matter what I do). It was so much easier before.<\/p>\n

The Sustrans<\/a> route up the side of the A91 between At Andrews and Guardbridge sucks chunks. Not wanting to go the off road way we started on the road but after a rather close shave with an angry Jaguar X-type, we moved onto the (at the time) decent looking track alongisde. It wasn’t 2m wide but the surface was good.<\/p>\n

Within quarter of a mile it had become a 1.5m wide pavement partially obstructed by bushes, When we were on the approach to Guardbridge we were confronted by 6 inch dropped kerbs at every junction. Back onto the road we went.<\/p>\n

And to think folk wonder why I am so impolite about the so-called ‘National Cycle Network’.<\/p>\n

Finally: people. Just… people. Grrrr!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
