Our Forth to Clyde Day 3 had taken us from Glasgow to Grangemouth. The final part of our journey, Forth to Clyde Day 4, would see us cycle from Grangemouth to Edinburgh, finishing at Leith on the Firth of Forth. It was a cool and pleasant morning when we left Grangemouth. We began by cycling through another section of The Helix. Then on into Falkirk town centre and our breakfast. Breakfast downed, we set off again through Falkirk. Back to…
On Day 1 of our cycle tour, we had cycled to the start of the Clyde to Forth route. While on Day 2 we had begun the route by cycling from the Firth of Clyde to Glasgow.

Of course, we headed back over Bells Bridge. This time,…

For this tour, this time cycling with Andy S and Mike, we were determined to stay on course. First, however, we had to get to the start at Gourock! So it was on a sunny September afternoon we found ourselves in Glasgow ready for a cycle ride to…

Jim was leading the cycle ride and Sarah was the back-leader. Theoretically, I had a day when I could just ride, though I helped out with corners. It was a cool Saturday morning when we met at Vernon Park. After leaving the car park at the start we followed the track around…
