Just clicked on route linky.....why is there a drawing that looks like a shark swimming in water and what has this to do with the ride?

That's a nice fast downhill called Cleish, no climbing there, nothing to see here, move along now...

Yeah its only a gentle rise then straight into a downhill

 

[GBC]

I see that we'll pretty much have the wind in our face, gusting to 40 mph, when we're climbing Cleish. Thank goodness for that I say, I always overheat on a climb

Which way are you planning on riding over Cleich? Its gentle from the south. More of a challenge from the north. Have you tried West Lomond from Falkland? Now thats a nice climb!

Cleish from the north (harder side) i've climbed West Lomond to Falkland but never the other way about

 

[Dave Crampton]

We head round Loch Leven past the Larder, and down the Sandy Road to Falkland. Cakage a plenty, then head up West Lomond and home. Easy!
