Day 10: City Cycling

Miles cycled: 68
Cities crossed: 1

Beginning the day at the top of some large hills laid the foundations for a very easy first half hour coasting down the mountain.

After such a speedy start it wasn't long before we reached the outskirts of the central belt, and we kept the speed up as we cycled through delightful places like Larkhall.

As soon as we crossed the Clyde, the National Cycle Network signs pointed straight for Loch Lomond. Most of the way there is a dedicated path for cycles, making the journey comfortable by keeping you away from cars.

The route also takes you past some of Glasgows favourite landmarks - Glasgow Green, the Peoples Palace, the Armadillo (SECC), the Testicle (the IMAX) and the Erskine Bridge.

This evening there is no doubt we're on the west coast - the midgies were out in force as we arrived at our hostel on the side of Loch Lomond.

Thanks again today to David at Original 106 for another great live link-up - and don't forget to listen up 11-12 on Saturday when I'll be on Alex' show.

Till next time
