My first long ride of the year and slightly disappointed to see it a smidge under the 30 mile mark because my legs say it was at least 60 miles. Cycled to Borthwick castle - built in the 1400s and unchanged since then. Quite remarkable as it looks like someone knocked it up in the 60s. I tried having a peep inside but it is now a hotel and was closed. A great cycle back as the clouds parted and a few orange shafts of light lit up the Pentland Hills and Edinburgh city in the distance.
