Haddington Cycle - 84km - untimed

Simon and I blew the dust off the bikes and headed down the coast to Aberlady and then up into the hills towards Haddington. Haven't been on the bike for ages so was glad to get out on it again.

However, horrific head wind. Surely must have been topping out at 50km/h. By the time we were back near the city the legs were burning. Had to stop for a bit of cake on the Portobello esplanade which was well deserved. After that, only managed 10 metres to the next doorway which happened to be a pub... so we had a pint.

Back into Leith followed by the climb up Leith Walk which I always hate. Again it was made worse by the head wind but finally it ended.

Have had a headache ever since.
