Today my daughter Eleanor and I will set out to cycle the Great Glen Way.<\/p>\n
This is part of our family project to learn where we live, to understand this fermenting adopted country of ours. We have checked the bicycles: she’s riding her wonderful Frog and I have my ancient Dawes Sardar (from when they were still made from steel), improved over many iterations. New stuff: Sputnik rims and a new Shimano LX rear hub for me. After well over a decade of carrying children and things (bricks, boards, wiring, plants) on various trailers and such, I finally have Carradice Super C panniers all my own. The kind folks at the local Edinburgh Bike Coop have become very used to us darting in and out for one more thing (yesterday was a Presta-to-Schrader pump adapter).<\/p>\n
And today we set out. Oh, it’s only a short expedition, and we’re taking it easy. This is Eleanor’s first long ride of any kind, and my first for many years…but today we set out. I’ll keep you posted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
