78 miles, 2303' ascent, 6 1/4 hrs ride, cum 737 miles
So here we are in Tyndrum, in the Trossachs. Astonishing to think that a week ago we had just arrived in Wells on day 3. A week later and we're up here in Scotland, with Glencoe and Fort William tomorrow
It's been a day of two halves. We began today with urban cycling, through Hamilton and then towards and through the centre of Glasgow. The group cycled together, led by guide Paul, as route finding wasn't easy. The traffic wasnt bad but we were on the lookout for dogs, pedestrians and glass!
Cycleways took over as we left the Distillery brew stop (not tempted) and canals were followed. Eventually we rolled into Balloch for a cafe stop lunch
The afternoon was stunning. Amazing views of Loch Lomond and then Ben Lomond before we ascended up into the Trossachs, temperature dropping
A terrific afternoon, good day and a real sense of getting-there achievement
Not sure how fortunate weather-wise we will be tomorrow. Glencoe in the wet will be atmospheric but much better if dry!
Pleased you saw the Bonnie Bonnie Banks. We did too - last month.
