Bicycles , yet more bicycles

Another day at the Inn so to speak, and another couple of cyclists appeared for coffee and cake this morning. They were from the Netherlands and had been in Scotland for ten days covering 1200 km to date, now heading south using the national network of cycle paths and back roads, now making for Galashiels. Tomorrow I need to get either a uni cycle or a four wheeled bike to follow the sequence.
Had to pop down to B & Q this morning and was, like many others, held up at the roadworks at the Whitecraig roundabout. I have no idea what they are doing but whatever it is they are taking their time having been there for nearly as long as the tram works !! and like the tram workers they are not adverse to sitting in the van for long tea breaks.

Home for some tea, cut the grass, wee bit weeding and then decided to blow away the cobwebs by having a quick blast on the "steed of steel" .
I then came across a dreaded van driver who made my motorway white van men look like angels - he was driving an Asda home delivery van on the A702 from Carlops to Lothianburn. This bold chappie was apparently racing a VW Golf and driving like a lunatic - I could not even keep up with him.
