Livingston to Pitlochry - Day 10

A day of beautiful scenery .....the sun is shining, no wind and it is not raining!


Started with a MacDonald's breakfast - Malcolm was blown away by the very smart waterless urinals!

Left at 8.30am when we were guided to the Forth Road Bridge by our guest rider of the day Ian Pascall (Marie's cousin's husband).

Great cycling over the bridge, a wonderful sight. Gareth's bike had emergency repairs with new pedals fitted in the Sandy Wallace Cycle Shop in Inverkeithin. The Lejoggers continued on through Cowdenbeath and Kinross while Beverley drove back to Edinburgh to pick Louise up from the airport....


Lunch stop at Perth where we saw the devastation from the high winds in the city parks with massive mature trees blown over. We can highly recommend the Small Talk Tea Shop who kindly gave a donation to our chosen charities.















We battled heavy traffic on the A9, before Craig diverted us onto a B road where we enjoyed calm cycling and truly spectacular scenery in the late afternoon sun on the way to Pitlochry.

Had a superb meal in Pashas restaurant - a lovely end to a great day.

Total mileage: 75.7 miles
Average speed 11.6 mph
Hours in the saddle: 6.29
Pete's pint of the day: Efes Turkish Beer.
