Scottish C2C Day 4 – Edinburgh to Forth Bridge (and back)

1 October 2016 Andy

Our Scottish C2C Day 4 would be our last day of the tour. The plan was to complete the Scottish C2C route by cycling to the Forth Bridge, and then finish by cycling back to Edinburgh Waverley Rail station. At the end of our C2C Day 3 we had finished at overnight stop, Canon Court apartments. On our final morning we now left the apartment where we had been staying and headed over to Earthy Cafe for breakfast. This place provided probably the…

The theme for the day was ‘hills’. The day began with the usual bit of ‘fun’. After leaving Edinburgh Central SYHA we hadn’t cycled very far when Neil pulled up with the first puncture of the tour. And we were quickly in to the climbing as we made…

JOGLE Day 5 – Pitlochry to Edinburgh

17 June 2015 Andy

JOGLE Day 5 was the first of the two toughest days of the tour. It began with the now usual morning panic when we couldn’t open the side door of the support vehicle. Thankfully Neil had a brainwave and managed to sort everything out. We had planned to be on the road earlier than usual, and for once managed to achieve this. As I mentioned yesterday Pitlochary SYHA was up a hill, so the first bit of cycling we did was…
