Lejog day 13 edinburgh to perth

After the exertions of the last two days we decided an 80miler to pitlochry was a little excessive so we opted for perth. Very hard to leave this morning and also passing stations with a direct train home! It was a bright and sunny morning and really cold. We fought our way down to haymarket and hopped onto sustrans route one out to the bridges. Cycleway had some pretty bumpy sections and one so bad i was depanniered for the third time this trip. At least no scary run into traffic this time for the rescue mission. On a road surface note scotlands are bad and lothians are the worst so far. It became a game of spot the cycle route sign as we got further out the city with comedy behind tree positioning and ambigous arrows but route one got us right out to the road bridge. Had great views in sunshine as we crossed the forth and then the first haggis suppers of the trip in inverkeithing. Rolling farmland with good views to kinross for afternoon tea and then a long decent down glen farg that sarah loved and i found too flat to build decent speed on the bad surface. Sarah didnt even feel the bumps and got to the bottom minutes before me. Short drag to perth and fin. Its cold here! todays photo is looking back to the bridges cos i forget as we were actually on it so its rubbish. distance 80km average 16.3kph (surprisingly high considering how easily we took it) cumulative 1118km
