Hi there and welcome. I am quite often on the cycle path Dunfermline/Alloa on my MTB at this time of year ~ usually in my Dunfermline Cycle Club colours

Hope to see you on a CC Ecosse ride out when the weather improves

So new I don't have a bike, well not strictly true I have a mountain bike that Iv'e converted for the road so I will be on the lookout for something second hand to get me started. Tell me, all you long timers out there does it get any easier on your backside mine's been killing me !

I knew where i was going (for a change), the path ends in clackmannshire i think (unless its changed) then i jumped on the road to alloa, through alloa and headed for stirling

 

[Jane Smart]

It still ends at Clackmannan Col
