The first 10 miles are pretty tuff (well i find them tuff) but after that its a nice gentle cycle round loch leven and then a wee bump called cleish

@Fubar, Scoosh had said that Loch end cafe would be smaller but less busy so he said maybe try there?

I saw that yesterday but it didn't look like it had a cafe, obviously I was wrong! There is a cafe at the rspb place as well so plenty options.

The road on the south-east side of loch Leven is pretty rough, so be prepared! A few pot holes but at least it's not downhill.

You can lead the way round them hit a pothole in Falkirk yesterday and I honestly thought it had buckled my wheel, about broke my wrists with the force of it too!

My involvement needs to be reduced to a "maybe" as my bike is making terminal-sounding grinding noises after last week's Arran jaunt
Putting it in for a service next week but it might be too late to make the trip across

I'm at a maybe too, the bike's in the shop getting parts fitted and I've been told it would be out by Thursday - could be even later though :/

You hoping to still make it along?

Been using the old mtb last couple weeks so if worst comes to the worst will bring that. Its only 7spd but luckily its sitting on cityjets and has a "52" fitted up front

To be honest it's not that bad, just a bit to be wary of - a boneshaker before cake stop!
