Saturday was good as we left Perth, the sun was shining but as soon as left the City limits heading westward the ominous dark clouds revealed themselves in the background. Just after Glenalmond the road was slippy with debris and caused a couple of loose sphincter moments for both of us, the Sma Glen was looking great although the usual potholes are starting to reveal themselves in parts of the road, just after the bridge we passed a tour bus coming in the other direction, that's what causes the potholes, green travel my backside.
We took the Glenquaich road, quiet and stunning in the sun but always the threat of rain, stunning rainbow at the top and then after that very heavy rain, the run down the hill was tricky through the hairpins, like riding in a river bed, running water and the debris making sure we had to concentrate fully , the plan was to stop at Kenmore but the rain was heavy so we carried on through the village and turned left past Drummond hill, I notice this road isn't signposted with a road number and is on Google as National Cycle route 7, that is a worry, I will use it more in future although a boat would have been a better option than a bicycle on Saturday as large parts of it were flooded .
A stop in the nice layby overlooking Loch Kinardochy for a cuppa and our lunch (Which we had prepared earlier) and then on past Tummelbridge and Loch Rannoch and a run down the A9 from Pitlochry. A grand day out, some wind, some rain but on the bike whats not to like.
Keep on keeping on.......
