Bellissima Pedalata!

Today was finally warm! And I mean no knee or leg warmers warm. No wind vest warm. Can't quite shed the arm warmers yet, nonetheless warm sun is always appreciated. I headed off towards Strathkinness with Enrique, Jamie, and Fraser and after a nice light spin until Kemback Bridge we began to pick things up on the road to Cupar. After nearly getting hit by a car trying to pass us while still fitting through a crosswalk with an island in the middle, we quickly headed towards the A916 climb. Going up the side of quite a large hill, the ridge provides beautiful views, a stiff slope up that's not leg breaking, and some protection from the wind. After a quick breather at the top, we bombed down towards Ceres before heading up the quasi-formidable "Ceres D'Huez." Undulating yet steep, twisty, leg-sapping, this climb always puts up a fight. After cresting the top, we spun along the undulating road towards Peat Inn, where we decided to extend our ride along one of my favorite roads, the B940. Bombing down the open descent, carving long racing lines on the turns, using the full road (because you can see if cars are coming or not from far away) all under warm, sunny skies. I was reluctant to turn towards home, but all playtime must come to an end so we spun our legs out on the way home before a quick pass over the pavé.
