Love the Rest & Be Thankful (A83) road

I am sure, I’ve said this before… but the Rest & Be Thankful (A83) road, has to be one of my favourite roads in the whole of the UK! I mean, just check out them views!!!

First 60+ mile cycle of 2017!

That truly was a totally amazing cycle! Reminds me, why I love cycling so much! Just a great way to see amazing scenery, much better than being in a metal box!

Of course for scenery, you can’t get much better than Scotland!!! Also can tell just how much fun, I was having! Since I ended up doing the longest cycle of 2017 so far! Ended up doing 63.5 miles!

Was also good fun doing route, that I’ve not done since August 2009, when I did the End to End cycle!

You can check out the full route and stats from the cycle @ www.strava.com/activities/971062599.

I will now leave you with some photos from the cycle!!!

Edinburgh and Edinburgh Castle

Had a great day in Edinburgh with my older bother Douglas. We also went to Edinburgh Castle! No idea, when I last went!

Just so glad, I am a Historic Scotland member, don’t think, I would want to pay £17! Also still think that Stirling Castle, is way better!!!

Had a great day in Glasgow!!!

First time, in a good number of years, I’ve had a good look around Glasgow!! It was also great to catch up with my good friend Neil!
