Climbing Tak Ma Doon Road from Kilsyth with Glasgow Green Cycle Club. The Tak is one of the hardest climbs in the area, especially from the Kilsyth (south) side. The descent on the other side crosses a ford, which needs some care. The climb turned into a little competition with Paul and Colin, who thoughtfully paused at the ford on the way down to make sure everyone was OK.

After a career with several organisations, broadly in IT, I now have more time to follow physics (mainly cosmology) and mathematics again, as well as reviving my cycling, and having more time for skiing. As I get older, I'm more relaxed about some things, and less patient with quite a few others! It seems quite random, but my interests and prejudices will show as I post more blogs, I suppose. I have used Twitter and Facebook for a while, but I have found 140 (or even 280) characters on Twitter too few to make points in a nuanced way (opinions on Twitter are VERY black and white, and sometimes downright offensive); and FaceBook, while I use it a quite a lot, isn't really a medium for debate. So here goes with a blog, at last! View more posts
