on Sat done the stathaven to muirkirk and onwards. was a great run

the muirkirk road had gravel at every junction, then got lost along a road with no fences and nothing but sheep and rams all over the road. still a great run :lol:

 

It's not a bad wee road until you get to where it hasn't been resurfaced.

And I hate that tight downhill part to the wee bridge (not the sweeping right hander at the other bridge with the layby). Always wet and gravel on the corners there.

That is my wee quick blast route, then stop at the cemetery at Muirkirk for a cigarette. :lol:

Up to Buchlyvie for a black pudding roll, then did the rest of the Carse of Stirling. Meant to come back via the Carron Valley, but it was closed, so had to come back via Kilsyth and Kirky - boring. Got a sore bottom, so I have bought a gel seat pad.

Came back over Glen Douglas, a single track road covered in gravel and cow dung. Felt the bike slide about a lot.

Nice wee run out of about 40 miles today, just out towards Muirkirk and Strathaven.

Started getting pretty cold though, and roads were pretty mucky from farm traffic.

Under the trees was very wet too.

Enjoyed it though. :mrgreen:

We went up to Oban via the Green Welly today. Late heading out because of police interview taking aaaaages then having to jump start the bike :roll:


Absolutely cracking ride, though I am a little bit achey from my 203 mile trip :shock:

However, tired achey muscles whilst unleasent is MUCH better than crippling back pain :D


Think I have done as many miles on the VFR in 2 days as on the gsxr in 16months :cry:

Great run. The road at Knockhill is terrible. Weird since all the other roads are good to superb.
