Team Dave

Poached egg and salmon on toast, we are still struggling to stomach full breakfasts. I cannot finish a full breakfast without it making me feel sick, but we need the energy so it has to be forced down. Pitlochry is a beautiful town and well worth a visit. We picked up the sustrans route again and followed this to Aberfeldy. Waterproofs were on and off but it was nay bother to us, the quiet roads and scenery was spectacular. Two red squirrels tried to run under our tyres but fortunately escaped to safety. Coffee, soup and cake(international food of champions) at Elaines cafe in Aberfeldy. Massive climb out of Aberfeldy and some young Chav comments that his gran could cycle faster than us. The climb went on and on and on it was fab. The road took us thro isolated exposed moorland to Crieff. Heading now toward Dunfermline we descended into farming territory. Nonchalant looks from cows make me think they know more than we realise or they might just be stupid. Riding past Gleneagles where the junior Ryder cup is taking place at the moment. About 20miles before Dunfermline the terrain got seriously hilly again, we got to Dunfermline at around 6pm – not as far as we would have liked but it getting harder to do big miles now. Casting negatives aside lime rain, wind, tiredness and the cold today’s riding really was superb. B&B £18 per night and Chinese buffet for tea. Forth road bridge tomorrow. X
