I stayed out late last night. Had dinner at my brothers house then left at about 8.30. That’s a out as exciting as my life gets, home by 9.15.
Packing, packing, packing. I have no idea what to bring, short sleeve, long sleeve, over trousers, puffa jacket, heavy or light weight quilt. Oh the list of my indecisiveness is long and frustrating. So finally I just went to bed.
More oscking in the morning. Finally I was ready to go at about 8.40, looked outside and it was pouring. I had another coffee and waited. Eventually at about 10 it looked dry enough so I just bit the bullet and left.
The 1st half was flat and along the Forth snd Clyde Canal. I stopped at Kirkintilloch for a coffee and chatted to 3 other cyclists braving the patchy weather.
Then on to Sterling.
Big shout out to the guy in the Giant/Liv shop for lending me a torque wrench. Just to straighten up my seat tube
Eventually leaving the canal at Banknock. I had a choice stop at a campsite at Comrie croft at about 90k or on to Glengoulandie at about 130kms. Yes of course I opted for the shorter. Arriving at about 4.30. More choices flat field near toilets or bit more sloping in the woods but further to walk. I opted for the field, ate food at 6 then moved the tent in the semi dart into the woods. 🤦oh the indecisiveness, grrrrrr.
Tomorrow looks pants so high chance I’ll stay here tomorrow and avoid the worst of 3 days (Wed, Thurs, Fri)
Tent is a bit slopy, hopefully that means it won’t be wallowing in water tomorrow morning.
I know I took no photos.
A Couple of Days Ride Outta....... 
Now then, if you’d have delayed until Saturday I could have accompanied you! Poor timing mate 🙁

I was trying to be focused but already weighlaid at Comrie Croft as the weather/rain warnings ⚠️ have made me soft as a blancmange.

I think you’ve made the right decision to stay put. You don’t want to riding in this weather. It’s not the rain so much as the wind and strong gusts. Stay safe matey.
