Bit of a dull windy day so I planned a ride to the Glasgow end of the Union Canal, I’ve been to the Edinburgh end, but not the Glasgow end. Now having never ridden this before I was relying on my garmin course, but unbeknownst to me the course would take me on some serious off road cross country routes, which would not do with my road bike!. If I had my mountain bike I could have saved myself a 10 mile detour but I didn’t and thus I had to do some backtracking and try another way of getting there, hence the funny route I took. Anyway I made it in the end and I would have gone back the way I had came if it were possible but I opted to go via the Canal some of the way and once I hit Kilsyth I was back on the road.
