Went to the Pentlands again. Ate lots and lots of raspberries. At one point it started to pour with rain. We "sheltered" under some trees until it stopped and the sun came out again. Got as far as the Harlaw Reservoir.
I still need to get properly into the hills, buy a rain jacket, and learn to cycle up as well as down slopes. I am getting better at them though, and it always feels worth it when going downwards.

| This path was a bit too rocky to cycle along |

| Taken minutes after it had been bucketing with rain |
 |
| There was always a bit of ominous cloud to be seen |

| Raspberries - yum yum yum |
Cycle route rating
Ease of cycling: very steep from Water of Leith to Bonaly, some hilly bits here and there, a few gates, had to lift bikes over one wall
Injury rating: Black oil marks on legs (and nettle stings, but that was caused by trying to reach raspberries)
Best points: Raspberries, feels far removed from Edinburgh festival madness
