Ride 21\/09\/2014 Gleneagles by Paul_Lund at Garmin Connect – Details<\/a>. <\/p> \n

Another glorious sunny day in Scotland (miracle) and with my road bike in for it’s service I was left with my mountain bike, so wasn’t going to go great distances. I decided to take a ride up to Gleaneagles and the Ryder cup to see what I could see <\/span> and even though it doesn’t start until next Friday it was very busy up there. Even though I had got there by going via Glendevon I planned to return via Sheriffmuir but unfortunately my curiosity got the better of me. On the road to Sheriffmuir there is a dirt track that I keep passing and not knowing where it goes, so this time I would chance my luck and ride it to see where it went which subsequently lead me to riding off road up over the Ochils, around Dumyat (big hill I sometime mountain bike up) and down to Menstrie. I’ve never know about that route and have never seen it on the maps, and haven’t even noticed it on the OS maps I have, but it does show up on it if you care to look properly <\/span> Anyway it was a nice off road ride for about 3 miles with the rest back on road all the way home. 56 miles clocked up and a nice day for it <\/span> <\/p> \n\n\t\t
