Scotland : Stirling & The Trossachs Stirling - Callander - dukes pass

[Louch]

@Edwardoka showed interest on Facebook about coming though to Stirling for a ride next weekend. No real route in mind yet, thinking meet at train station, ride to Doune, back road to Callander, up and over dukes pass, back round into Callander to fuel up, before heading back to stirling.

Any interest?

Possibly ... depends on other stuff I need to catch up on, due to having had to work literally all of last weekend .
Do you have a map and distance, to help us make up our mind?

Guys, it's possible the Wee Blether won't yet be open for the season. As a good alternative, Liz McGregor's in Aberfoyle sell some exceedingly good cake.

Wee Blether and Stronachlachlar pier cafe both closed a couple of weeks back!

Permanently?

Permanently?

No. The Stronachlachar Pier was open on February 20th. Their opening day for 2014, I believe. The Wee Blether website suggests they will re-open in April.

If it can be done without using the smallest gear I'm interested!

My lower jockey wheel is jumping into the spokes if I try and use the lowest gear, not sure if it's the wheel being out of true or the derailleur hanger looks to be pointing slightly inward...

Edit: In trying to fix the problem, I've completely fecked something and the gear cable won't now connect with the bolt... think I'll have to take it to someone who knows what they're doing to fix it!

I have made a route up on map my ride that I will post later. It's a run out back end of Stirling, round the side of dukes pass , cake , dukes pass, doune and then through to Stirling via Dunblane to miss the really busy roads. About 42 miles

I might be interested depending on timing and weather.
