Well, our Belles founder had put a fb request on Monday, apparently Glasgow Uni students are making a film about the commonwealth games, looking for some ordinary cyclists riding up and down the new cycling facility "bridge to somewhere". Active travel and so on.So are we going to see @Pat "5mph" as one of "the faces of the Commonwealth Games cycling" ?
When we got there it was in fact Glasgow city council wanting pictures for their commonwealth games site.
Their cameraman had called it off, so a photographer and an interviewer came instead - by taxi from the city centre, ermm, a 10 min walk
He started taking pictures of us, 4 ordinary cyclists in ordinary clothes, one was a mechanic from the bike station, 3 Belles, one of them a Spokes organizer.
Only me with helmet, so I ditched it to match the look of the group.
After about an hour, another group appeared, all of them helmeted, Lycra wearing, ready for Pedal for Scotland not for getting the messages in Tesco
The photographer went on a shooting frenzy.Moral of this story is: my fellow Belle and Spokes organizer seems to think the council will prefer their look to ours for their site. We will soon find out!
- try it (the WD40 
) and be prepared to be amazed ...

. The steepest climb on the route I posted is actually the one at the 17.6 mile point, where you turn off the main A78 road to climb over the Meigle road. It's quite a short climb, but a real lung buster!
