was long but quite gentle. However, he failed to warn us that the wind
would be in our faces the whole way - leaving us in bottom gear
anyway. Still, great scenery yet again.
We were caught by a Scot on a bright orange single speed bike who
apparently did this route both ways regularly. Impressive stuff. We
also saw a few LEJOGers going the other way. All went well until the
heavens opened about 3pm - we were halfway along the West Lomond cycle
path, which is a very attractive ride and avoids the heavy traffic.
There were no free coats today though - we donated the freebies to the
walkers B&B we stayed in last night.
The off road plan continued but we ended up getting horribly lost in
Glasgow. Paul had 2 punctures and got very emotional. And then we got
lost again. Govan is lovely. If you are an extra from Mad Max.
We got to a Travelodge about 8.30. The pub next door had no real beer
and was full of 18 yr olds on hen nights. With their grandmothers.
Stats: 103 miles. 13.2 average. 2 punctures. Several monstrous
tantrums. ( Paul ).
