Trans Scotland stage three

Tues 29th May: DAY 3 - Start: Drumlanrig Castle - Finish: Buittle Place Farm, Castle Douglas - Length of course: approx. 100km with 2000m of climbing

texted from Paul today:

Midges are out now and
I am their late evening
drinking den. They know
I was 13th yesterday.
Unlucky for me. Where
did all these fast Vets
who weren't in Wales
come from? More fast
Edinburgh blokes. But
today was 110km with
some excellent descents.
But also a few miles
of grey fireroads with
grey skies. Mtb purgatory


texted from the Mighty D today:

110 km today in sunshine!
Time trialist Dinsdale
managed to get lost near
the end last night so the
10km took an hour I wasn't
the only one so those
results aren't counting-
phew! KB beat Facer by
2mins he never listens!

and:

Yesterday, wet, wet,
wet, muddy. Today
sunny, muddy! Time
trial tonight only 3
Vet women, I may come
3rd! Facer and KB will
battle it out in a big
category

Ahh, those pesky scottish midges! have they drunk so much from Paul that he has no red stuff left to make his legs go around! sounds like a case for Doc Fuentes and his magic refills:-)
KB! - 2mins over 10km! stop it! - Paul'll cry:-) (and he can't afford to lose any more fluids!)

Looks like one of them is from California!:-)

KB seems to be going well. The cooler clime suits him, you can only hope for a heatwave;-)

If you can catch all of the midges once they have feasted, save them until the end of the week before the special stage. And then eat them......undetectable autologous blood doping!


mmm...unless of course they have feasted on someone else first. Maybe this is what happened to Tyler?
