At about 4 miles from Loch Lomond I swing South towards Strathblane then East towards Kilysth and back to Falkirk. Unfortunately today there was a prevailing Easterly wind of 18 mph blowing at me for 35 miles going to Loch Lomond. I hate head winds, they sap your energy and are soul destroying and I still had to climb up the hills at Drymen, thank god once I was past the hills I had the wind behind me, but the damage had been done.
