After the world cycling championships i needed to get out on the bike and this route was perfect for me. The good thing about this was that it was about 50% off road on the forth and Clyde canal past Stockingfield bridge and out towards Kirkintilloch and Twechar. At Twechar I explored Bar Hill roman fort and after that had to navigate a stretch of busy road in Kilsyth to get to the quieter roads like the Tak-Ma-Doon road that takes us over the Kilsyth hills. This is an excellent climb that takes you over to Carron valley reservoir and past the Loup of Fintry waterfall before heading over the Crow road to Lenoxtown where we see the Robert Miller mural and onwards to Milton of Campsie and back to Kirkintilloch using the Strathkelvin railway path that connects to Glasgow via the forth and Clyde canal.
This cycle was my favorite this year so far and was a very enjoyable day out. Was expecting to be out for four and a half hours and that turned out to be seven and a half. My strava didn't record the ride properly and that was probably down to the battery being very low on my phone for the last hour of my ride.
This cycle was so good for my mental health and was really needed as on the lead up to and during the world championships so much was going on and I was working on a couple of projects with deadlines. This video will also be good to view during the winter as a reminder of being out for hours cycling during the summer months and light nights.
