Today was an odd type of day. 86 miles. 6400 feet in 8 hours 20 mins plus about 2 hours stoppages. These were mainly for navigation. First 20 miles were nice, quite good paths alongside the B roads plus some where the path is just marked on the road. Then a rather depressing bit through the industrial heart of the central area. Then a very nice stretch on the Clyde cycle way that goes right into the centre of the city avoiding virtually all the roads. Then an equally nice route out on the Kelvin. But then a bit more stretching. The map showed the cycle path continuing but in reality it did not. I ended cycling through a muddy field, then carrying the bike over a style and up some steps. Getting a bit tired when met by Sue who had come to guide me the last few miles to there house. I may eschew off road from now on!
