...and the hills get bigger!

Today I was out with the Bat Fasterds Cycling Group that are preparing for the Bealach Mor with me.  They took me through some nice countryside, then down the coast where we got lost of verbal abuse from ar**hole drivers who had no patience.  Then we hit "the monster hill".  The Dalry Moor Road.  Every time you think you've reached the top you turn a corner and the hill continues.  It was an excellent work out.  So 59 miles in the legs today at a good pace. 
Later I went for a sports massage with "Grant the torturer"!  He took it reasonably easy as I had been cycling that day but I enjoyed watching my son Ali have his first sports massage.  Surprised that the police didn't turn up with the screams that came from him - even got it on video.  It turns out he needs to do some more stretching - point proven and money well spent!
