Glasgow to Callander - stages 19/20 - 23 July

I thought these stages were too short on their own so i stuck them together. It was only the final climb that I struggled with as the surface wasn't smooth and I was a bit pooped by then. I still cycled it all but in sections, rather than pushing the bike uphill.

Leaving Glasgow I was passing by the docks.

A Covid message

No boats on the canal for several miles

Seeing a bridge that far in the air made me think I might have a climb coming

The Saltings

The Forth & Clyde Canal

A mile marker as previously seen

Time for a cup of tea and a tea cake. I passed the factory yesterday.

Lovely bridge supports

Historical information

No idea what the little pyramids are about

I had to fold the mirror in for this bridge, I don't like heights, luckily I could not see through the bottom.

The view from the bridge

 The bridge is on top of a pipeline

There was a bench, this was the view.

Love the blue cows, does their milk make blue cheese?

A slope I didn't cycle up, the bike was catered for at the sides.

Lovely loch view

A hill I have to deal with

The burn of the fawn

A proper waterfall

Careful campers

Lovely water

Owners of the Hotel Property Bond have a grand property to visit here.

Into the sun but still pretty

Loch Venachar - such blue water

A long day but a lovely ride.
