That was me heading out Mick, lost a bit more weight now though

Yes Contra, I think I might just about manage the 100 miles at the end of the month

Glasgow to Kilsyth, along the Tak-Ma-Doon Road to Fintry and onto Crow Road and over the Campsie Hills, a quick visit to Big Al at Wheelcraft and a short stop at my mother-in-laws in Milngavie before heading home

Total of 56.2 miles with an elevation of 3743 feet...That's a lot of climbing for an old geezer like me that's just getting back into cycling

This was the anticlockwise route

With plenty CAT 3 & Cat 4 climbs, this is the Tak-Ma-Doon climbs

Today's forecast said a 20% chance of rain and it didn't disappoint...
While I was in the Campsies I was cycling amongst the clouds, it was cool and damp, but the worst was leaving Glasgow heading home, I turned along the River Clyde and the heavens opened up, by the time I arrived home I was rather soggy

Great fun all the same

It took me just under 7 hours at an average speed of 16.1mph

Not bad for an old git who's just getting back into cycling and considering the climbs involved. The best part was leaving a lot of the youngsters in my tracks

Keep at it Contra and you could be up to 100 miles routes by Christmas

If anyone had said in January I would cycle 111 miles with 9300 ft climbs this year I would never have believed them.

This was the picture that made me look twice and think it was time to loose some weight.
