Cycled to Craighill1. It is almost exactly 19 miles + I took 2 hours 19 mins to go against a stiff N.W. wind + 1 h. 30 mins. to return. Got a heavy shower between Singlie + the Inch2. + another when leaving Craighill but I sheltered under a tree. David3 was at a confinement at [illegible] (Graham the road surveyor’s wife4). Got home at 2.30, changed + had tea. Felt a little stiff. It is 3 weeks tomorrow since I cycled any distance.
