I had a great ride today. Took my mileage over the 500 which should mean that the bike is now "broken in". Not that it will make much difference to my riding style as its not a rocket ship anyway!
Today's ride took me through Aberfoyle and over the Dukes Pass. Then it was along the same road as last week to Crianlarich. This time, instead of heading straight back down the A82 I continued to Tyndrum. There were so many bikers there it was almost impossible to park a bike. It's amazing the people who make the most of sunny days!
I continued on the road towards Oban. The wide sweeping bends weren't spoiled, too much, by the annoyingly situated speed camera-van, right on the longest straight.
It's a great road for the bike and when the vista opens up and the Cruachan range comes into view, quite spectacular.
Shortly after that I turned off on the Glen Orchy road. The single track road was quiet and the only drawback was the gravel which seems to accumulate just at the places where it causes most problems for a bike. Just as well I rode slowly to take in the peace and quiet and the views.
On the return by Loch Lomond, everywhere was so busy I didn't stop until Inveruglas where I bought a drink then straight home.
Here's a couple of pics. The quality isn't so good as they were taken on my phone:-
