First In Advent

After last weekends foray, dipping a soggy toe into the drookit County of Angus I’m hoping for some less moist weather this weekend.

So 08.45 start from my place and then it’s Forteviot, Kintillo and on through Glenfarg to Mawcarse. Then it’s Glenlomond Gateside and then head for a suitable Coffee and Scone. Approx 65km

The almost laughing hyena

After the zigging and zigging or the last two plotted routes… A calmer, flatter rattle round is planned. Weather permitting it goes something like this: Coupar, Alyth, shanzie, Kirriemuir, the 8 miler Meigle Kettins and home. Start time 8:30am… Did I say weather permitting?

New Shoes Sunday

Usual start time of 8:30 from Burrelton. And as per normal, weather permitting.

The route: up the main road, left to Kinnochtry, on to Kinrossie and Thorngreen road to Balbeggie. Them its a quick four miles over to Rait. Going right we pass Kilspindie and the Pitroddie turn and go to Glendoick. Then it’s on to Pitlowie, murryshall and into Perth for a scone. Home bound now it’s up the main road through scone(if Isla Road is not open). Old scone. Stormotfield Guildtown and whitelee road.

Done

Alpine Sunday

The other week, I found alpine style zig-zags in Perthshire while going to “rescue” the wine tasters at Cairn-o-mor. While descending this bit of wiggley tarmac, I thought, I have to climb this!

So Sunday 11th is the day. Given my performance last week on the hills (and the flat) it’s not going to be fast or pretty.

8:30 start.

Weather permitting.

From Burrelton.

Sunday knapp

Burrelton start, weather permitting obviously. A morning of despicable behaviour on a bike, with some hills and a wee bit of off highlighter (always a worry) 08:30 I think is a fair time, and hopefully the pot and Pantry will be open when we get there. Got to spread scone pound around 🙂

Cycling in and around Perth

Has everyone seen this to comment on cycle and walking corridors through and into Perth?
