Day 10: Wanlockhead to Loch Lomond 64 miles
718 miles completed, 65hrs and 38minutes in the sadle. Max speed so far 39.3 mph and a moving average of 10.9 mph.
A relatively short day made hard(or harder) by continuing head winds, just to spice up the challenges further the wind was also gusting which meant in one or two cases I was almost brought to a hault. The ride out of Wanlockhead was pleasant though wet initially. The ride into and then through Glasgow was an experience not to be repeated, I know there are some hardened city cyclists out there but I am not one of them and found thd whole experience very stressful. I picked up the Clyde cycle route after passing through Glasgow @ the SCC which got me of the road for 15 miles or so.
Good to hear from Stu who is doing JOG to LE, we had picked up on each others blogs and had hoped to meet when passing but route changes prevented that however we have been able to chat via text and mobile. You can find Stu's blog at http//jog2le.blogspot.com

Wanlockhead was one of the places we visited on holiday last summer - we took a trip on the steam railway there - and we had rain too! Still it sounds like you're getting through the miles and up the hills. Having now got through Glasgow you've got the last of the cities behind you, so should be good cycling scenery from now on.
Hope the weather improves - Peter and Sarah Trackbacks
