Foldie Forth Clyde Canal Ride

My friend Anna & I put our folding bikes on the night bus to Edinburgh, (with no sleep & a headwind that followed us ALL DAY) rode over the Forth Road Bridge, west along the north bank of the Forth, across the Kincardine Bridge to the amazing Kelpies, along the Forth & Clyde Canal to the Falkirk Wheel (mind blown), on to Kirkintilloch where we stayed with a wonderful family from warmshowers.org. 

Folded up and ready to get on the coach

In the morning (after the best sleep of my life & an epic breakfast) we carried on along the canal to Bowling where it joins the Clyde River. Then we returned back along the canal and joined the disused railway track route to Glasgow. All because we wanted an adventure and really like bridges and canals.

A big shout-out to to the Scottish sun, our bikes that aren’t made for 50+ mile rides and of course our bums that we have condemned to life on a saddle.
