ps - glad to see you went Amulree- Crieff, not Amulree-Kenmore !
Then on the climb out of Aberfeldy the gear cable broke somehow it seemed harder 
I've only done that once at it started raining as I got to the top, it mad the descent on the steeper Kenmore side interesting, I then snapped a front spoke
Hello and welcome fae the sunnier side of Scotland.
It was a scorcher on my side today...................................if you were suitably attired.
Hi Pedro. I'm further down the coast but I sometime frequent those roads too, I've not been further north than Perth in the last few months though. All but the A9, its a great area for cycling and for a few hours today it has been sunny Scotland, I was wearing 3/4 today and I think I've got sunburnt calves, I got a panini in yesterdays cafe
Pedrosanchezo and
to CycleChat !
We've had a couple of CC Ecosse rides out of Perth, the most recent (albeit a while ago ...) being one Seamab and I did. Then we did it the other way round the next day (it was harder - Seamab managed to find an extra couple of those 'upwardly inclined gradients'
).
We had a couple of lovely rides - you'd be very welcome next time ...

Hey!! Thanks for the BIG welcome. ;-)
My pleasure
RE next time, yeh would love to. What kind of distance do you guys do? Whats your starting/finishing point? Or points if not circular. :-)
Mind you, Seamab waited for me up the hills ....
These rides were 40 miles, which we did in something just under 3 hrs riding time, 4.25 including stops = not silly pace and good chat pace.
Hey Scoosh,
No thats cool. Take it you guys stop for some lunch? Defo up for it the next time you guys are close by. Could also cycle to meet you somewhere close (20-30 miles) for a 40 mile ride. You stay in Perthshire? (EDIT> I just looked at your profile, Edinburgh).
I often ride myself which pretty much leaves me going flat out most of the time but tbh i think i really should be taking in more of the beautiful Scottish scenery. So any pace is good for me. Any route also as i think they all are a unique experience.
Ps, Seamab sounds like a gent.
Indeed he is - nothing to do with the elastic round hiswaistneckseat-post dragging me up the hills ....
Keep your eyes open for CC Ecosse Forum Rides. When someone gets suitably organised, we arrange a ride from somewhere, usually near a station to permit rail travel to-and-fro, with a couple of essential and non-negotiable 'rules':
Over the winter, when specific rides can be a bit more difficult to plan, we go for a CC Ecosse RV Ride. Basically, someone (anyone - could even be YOU
- any bike/ level of cycling skill is welcome
- no one gets left behind
- cake stop along the way or at the end
- cyclechat is encouraged, which means it is not a fast pace
) posts that they are going to be at *** cafe/pub at **** time on ** date and others are welcome to join for a coffee, CAKE and chat. You choose your own route, distance etc to get there and back and we all get an opporchancity to meet over the winter months.
Posts for these rides are in CC & Informal Rides and Events part of the Forum.
HTH and look forward to meeting/ riding with you
