Hi to all, thanks for the warm welcome.
Like I say, I'm just getting back into cycling....broke my back in a cycling accident in sept 2012 so just taking tentative steps just now. Been to Carron Valley and Callander Park the last week and enjoyed being back.

Sorry to hear that, sounds like you're healing well

There's some nice easy cycling through Helix Park/Abbotshaugh Community Woods (where I cycle) and of course the towpaths.
Take it easy and if you ever want a cycling buddy gimme a shout - I don't do fast, or hills, or more than 15 miles right now, as I have arthritis in my upper and lower spine as wells knees.
I ride a full sussy MTB which I find really helps to absorb the jolts and lessen the pain for me

I'm only doing 10-15 miles at the moment myself. Have been really tempted with the helix, looks nice there.

It's lovely...nice smooth wide paths although I avoid the weekends there as it gets really busy!
The toilets are now open (yay!) but the Cafe isn't quite ready yet although you can use the Cafe in the stadium

I didn't realise that there was as much cycling around Falkirk. I'm only 15 mins away from most of it too!! Might give you a shout as a guide around might be good.

Yes, they have recently extended the cycle paths but I haven't done many of them yet!
