I think this selection of tweets give a good account of my weekend. Well, the first half of it anyway… Just for the records: Bike Ride #06, Distance aprox 82 km. I’m too lazy now to go look for my bike computer :-)
I think this is the 2nd weekend for rain to screw with my plans to go cycling (with my brothers even this time, for a longer ride). Mmph!

Rain stopped, so we’re on our way to starting place for long cycling trip. I’m not as fit as my brothers so I’m dreading it a bit :-)

Back home from 82 km bike ride. haven’t done more than 50 km this year. I managed to get through it, but Holy Crap, I’m dead. At least a bit

On my mum’s couch now, watching documentary about North Sea bike route, in this episode they’ve reached Scotland. How nice for me :-)

The cyclists (on TV docu) have reached Edinburgh. I’ve reached my own couch. Kilt tailor explains that kilt is very male piece of clothes

So, 82 km cycling today, 50-60 were hard, 60-70 torture. 70-82 = body on mere survival mode. @Heughan and how was your workout today :-)?

Still haven’t mastered click in pedals yet, so I took a fall again. From a bike that didn’t even move. It was quite embarrassing, but I’m ok

Might share some photos of scrapped and bruised body parts later.

It feels like the 32 bike km over my limit I put on in years. Doubled. I definitely move like a very old lady atm Shower helped a bit though

@ljauss I move like a doddery 100 yo lady at the moment, but at least I feel accomplished. Also have learned not to overdo it next time

Memories of my bike ride. Sunburn (stupid me), grazed knee & some of the gravel I picked out of this… http://t.co/DQEI6RMior

No idea why I forgot the sunscreen this morning, usually diligent about it. I can’t even remember my last sunburn. Forgot how much it hurts

Today I spent lazily lounging on my couch, recuperating, watching “Case Histories” episodes. The show is situated in Edinburgh, there are a lot of Scottish (and of course English) actors in it and I kept wondering which of these actors might be a good fit for any part in the upcoming Outlander. Crazy, I know, but what can I say, I’m really excited about it.
All this Edinburgh footage on my TV screen made me want to get back there for a few days and make some more good memories of this city. “Case Histories” is a great show but it’s slightly depressing because it shows the dark sides of society and human relationships and all.
I also spent quite a good amount of time this evening gushing about the following tweet
@Heughan Great meeting you today! The @heughligans wish you all the best in your adventure of being Jamie! pic.twitter.com/4IHjTVvPQj
