Just spent my first week up in some of the nicest areas for cycling you could get. The main problem is probably due to all the work on the bye pass, a lot of the commuters are using the single track roads like a rat run and travelling just fast enough to take the shine off any cycle. I reckon the cycle path mentioned earlier is the way to go, Buchan way. I'm in digs in Blackburn for my sins, would I be able to cycle to that track or would I need to park and cycle?
