Glasgow to Bridge of Allan via The Trossachs

[stuarticus]

Hello all,

I'm new to the forum so just getting up to speed.

Anyway, I've just completed this cycle and thought I'd share.

Leaving early AM from Glasgow you don't really have to deal with traffic (so that's 1 element of 3 out of the way). The other two - potholes and drunk chavs (yes, it's Glasgow!) - are still your worst enemy. However, once out the city the road smoothes out and you're treated to some fantastic scenery.

The Route is available on Garmin Connect.


P.S. How do I upload the GPX file in the post? Is that possible!

Nice ride and what a great couple of days, no neds for me :-)
Yip attaching GPX's is possible :-) Its a while since I've done it but I think, if you go to the 'Downloads' section you can upload a route :-)

Oh and Hiya

Welcome.

Did yu use some kind of filter on your camera. The sky is blue and I've never seen that in Scotland before.

Hi Stuarticus

I did a similar route yesterday but mostly on much quieter B roads than you used.

Nice part of the country.

June was a write-off weather wise up here. Hoping July and August will be better!

(BTW, I did have a filter on!)
