It was a mixed bag weather day with some rain, wind and sunshine but nothing to drastic in either element. I wanted to do some hill training so headed for Aberfolye and Duke Pass. I rode up Dukes Pass a couple of time before lunch and then twice over it to Loch Achray after lunch. Not very far distance wise but a decent amount of elevation and not totally knackering myself out in the process
Well I just couldn’t resist it could I SNOW! lots of fun to cycle in if you can stay upright which was difficult in some places where I had to walk the bike as the front end would just slide out in front of me or the rear end would get no traction and I would be left pedaling standing still until I fell off. Decided I would try and do my 15 mile loop via Shieldhill but I only got so far before I hit a wall of snow which was higher than me Ironically you can’t tell this by the pictures I took, should have put my bike in shot for a frame of reference. Anyway some smart arse digger had piled all the snow up at one end of the road so I couldn’t eve dig my way through, the road on the other side wasn’t clear of snow yet but it was walkable had I been able to get through. So I had to back track all the way back to Falkirk
