Day 2

Well down south sounds like you're all flooded out but up here it's been glorious. Cycling up Glen Coe in the sunshine was spectacular and the road was quieter than I expected. It was tempting to stop every few minutes for another photo opportunity.

Left at 7:45 and then after stopping for a while at the Commando Monument and admiring the view of Ben Nevis I brunched at about 11 in a cafe in Fort William high street and pumped up the tyres in the bike shop next door. Then met up with Di, Polly and Maya at 16:00 at Tarbet by Loch Lomond. Lovely to see them and to have a rest with a bit of tea and cake, hopefuly Suzie will get a photo of the girls on the blog in the morning.
From there a good cycle path along the Loch, which links up somehow at Dumbarton with one into Glasgow along the canal, although I missed a turning and ended up going alongside the wrong canal. This meant I ended up too far North and having to negotiate the numerous traffic lights on the Great Western Road in to the city centre, before heading south to arrive at Keiths flat in Govan Hill at about 20:15.
A lovely meal with Keith and a wee taste of whisky, when in Scotland...

For Suzie and Kipper, I actually got the binoculas out last night by Loch Ness to have a closer look at what Keith and I think was probably a Buzzard, so I feel a bit better about lugging them all this way now!

Day 2 151.7 miles according to Andy's GPS, not sure about the average etc. as my speedometer on the bike decided to pack up at Fort William for some reason, why do those things never seem to last very long?

Kyle, not sure that I'll be running by next Thursday, legs are feeling a bit stiff!!!
