Balmoral Hotel, Edinburgh to Fonab Castle, Pitlochry - Lucy's birthday (111 miles)
11th May 2022 - Lucy’s birthday
A bridge too far!
Today has definitely been the most challenging day in terms of distance and hours in the saddle. 8.30am to 8.30pm. A very memorable birthday celebration for Lucy😊.
After skirting Edinburgh, we crossed over the incredible Forth Bridge and continued heading north. Much of today, we enjoyed beautiful riverside roads alongside the rivers Tay, Tummel and Garry. This route is aptly nicknamed the Lochs and Glens Way.
The scenery has been breathtaking. Snow capped mountains, flowing rivers, old stone bridges and spectacular cycle paths that went on and on on.
We are beyond excited to arrive at at Fonab Castle after an epic day of cycling.
