Cracking day out was had!!!!
Met up with Stuart (Mad Dash) today for a wee trundle out.
Met up at Kincardine services at 8:00am, in order to try and beat some of the anticipated traffic and attentions from the boys in blue.
Strangely enough, her majesty's finest were already at Kincardine but took no notice of the shrinking violets and tucked into their donuts instead.
The day started out beautiful, with temp's into the teens by the time we departed and made our way to Dollar, Muckhart, up Glen Devon, Creiff, up the Sma' Glen and onto Aberfeldy where a fuel stop was taken, and the required natter about the route up to that point.
From there we headed to Kenmore, Killin, Lix Toll and Crianlarich.
We were well ahead of schedule by now, but were slowed down now by rain
from Crianlarich to Tyndrum.
We decided to stop for a coffee at this point, good thinking! In the time it took to sup the coffee and have a wee replan, the temperature rose, the rain cleared and the clouds lifted a bit - as a result the roads started to dry and it was decided to hit the road again!
From here, I was a bit unfamiliar with the rest of the route - I needn't have had any concerns though as Stuart took the lead and set a fine pace along roads that were less well known to me.
So, from Tyndrum we headed to Dalmally, Inverary, Arrochar, Helensburgh and onto catch the end of MotoGP at Ducati Glasgow.
We never saw rain again, and enjoyed a fantastic trip - because we were away so early the roads were virtually empty all the way to Tyndrum and barely had any traffic to contend with all the way back to Ducati Glasgow.
It was a grand day out and thoroughly enjoyed seeing another Desmosedici out and about - thanks Stuart!
Shame about the rain, and the MotoGP result, but a great day out!
Sorry about the long post
