The second leg of the B8024 was cracked on a breezy morning in Kintyre. The object of the ride was to keep a high cadence and low profile through the wind. The first 15 miles to Tarbert had the wind behind so that was easy and fast. The hills on this leg were steeper but shorter than the ride a couple of nights earlier. On reaching Tarbert in 54 mins it was time for a quick drink and jaffa cake.
The return to Kilberry was into the wind, so the low profile was working well and the high cadence made it feel efficient. Pushed up the hills and tried to sprint down, top speed was a nice 32.8mph. The 15 moles were completed in 60mins, all due to the wind.
After getting back I set off for a short run. The legs took 0.5miles to find their form, after that it was easy and they felt strong.
