We had quite a long and cold climb out of Moffat as we headed towards Glasgow, the wind was still giving unwanted resistance. The road surfaces were rough and sensitive behinds were taking a hammering, our rib cages were being rattled and there was not a coffee shop in sight. There were some interesting obstacles on our way to coffee.
After coffee we descended into Glasgow where our commuting skills were put to good use. The locals became a little more understanding of minor traffic indiscretions once they found out that we came from South Africa and we were not their pesky neighbours, the English. This arrangement suited us. We picked up a great cycle route in Glasgow that would take us all the way to Loch Lomond along the River Leven. The scenery for the rest of the day was absolutely stunning.
After 179km of riding we reached Crainlarich, our overnight stop. Beer in the local was a hoot and we are blessed to be in such magnificent surroundings and with good mates.
Those are Fantastic views, shame about the wind, still you all look to be in good spirits, well done. Derek
