Ride 20/07/2013 Stirling to Falkirk

Ride 20/07/2013 Stirling to Falkirk by PaulLund at Garmin Connect – Details.

It’s about 47 miles from Perth back to my home and straight over the Ochils Hills, so I wasn’t in the mood to ride 135 miles today given that it was quite a hot day. So on reaching Perth I decided I would catch a train to Stirling and then cycle back home, all in I cycled around 98 miles today, and I’m not feeling too bad.

So it’s another nice sunny weekend and I decided I would ride to Dundee. When I got to Dundee I didn’t feel like I had ridden enough, only 57 miles clocked up so I though I would continue on to Perth and then catch a train to Stirling. Unfortunately I used the garmin sat nav which is always a risky venture as it doesn’t use the most efficient route. On this occasion it decided to take me to Cupar Angus first then to Perth just as well I was packing shit load of food with me today, anyway made it to Perth and caught the train to Stirling.

60 miles with my foot to the floor! did it in 4 hours, the closest comparison took me over 5 hours for the same distance. I also rode past T in the Park twice, loud music loads of people and a bloody nightmare for traffic. Organisers changed the roads and made it a one way system, thankfully I could still ride both directions but I still got stuck in traffic, and the traffic lights they had setup around Kinross and the surrounding area didn’t help either Tired and hungry now…

Although it’s a nice sunny day it’s just as windy as last week. After last weeks near disaster of nearly not making it home I decided I would keep the mileage low, around 40 miles. I could get a good ride at speed without having to worry about getting back home again. Decided to visit Arria (angel of the nauld) which is a sculpture by Andy Scott sitting next to the M80 motorway. He is also the guy doing the Kelpies sculpture in the Helix complex next to me which sits next to the M9 motorway, he obviously has a thing for sticking sculptures next to motorways…
