Today was ana mazing day. After leaving the Hotel with a belly full off fryup i decided to get going and head off on my way.. the biggest problem i had is that straight away i was faced with a massive hill :-( this took a fair amount of time to get over but once i was on top i found the ride started to get easier.
I wuickly found my way into Grangemouth and onto the cycle path. this took me arround and off the main road but up some further hills. There were a few good runs i had though but i think i was just glad to be on my way further south.
I found an amazing section where i could just ride for a good 20 mins down hill... at this point i was so happy i started flapping my arms like an eagle and 'cawwing' perhaps this is my first sign of madness
The last 20 miles were the hardest. when i got past Carnwath the road seemed to just climb, then level, then climb, then level. It was so frustrating as i just wanted to get a good rhythem going but that was not the case.
Eventually pulled into Biggar after what seemed like forever but i was pleased to find the B&B was well within reach of town, I wandered into town to get a nice dinner. Ended up having chicken, haggis and chips with a pepper sauce... it was soo good i could eat it several times over.
Tomorrow was going to be a short day but going to push it a little and see where i end up :)
