Dunkeld to West Linton

Today we finally got rid of the A9 this is not a friendly road but as we entered Perth we turned our backs on it for good. The first thing that struck us was that now we were going to have to navigate instead of just sticking to one road and trying to avoid getting run over. The next big event was the Fourth Road Bridge just before Edinburgh, we had our photos taken by the paperazzi (Andrew and Gwyn) that have followed us along our trip. This was the start of an education in how to get out of the city boundaries, the road we wanted was closed to bikes so we had to navigate our way through the housing estates of Edinburgh, enough said. By the time we got to West Linton we were more than ready to stop cycling and partake of a couple of cool ones in the Gordon Arms Hotel.

Sponsored Bike Ride 2011

Well I've borrowed a bike and decided to give it ago. So Colin and myself are training to try and get fit,
any tips or hints would be good.
I'll post some links to the training runs I've been
doing when I can figure out how.
