Yesterday I decided to head west from Edinburgh to revisit one of my favourite biking roads across Rannoch Moor and through Glencoe.

Leaving home at around 6am ensured traffic free roads for the first few hours and by the time I refuelled at Tyndrum the sun was warm and the skies clear blue.

Once through Glencoe I turned off towards Kinlochleven and circumnavigated the mirror still waters of Loch Leven. Despite having passed this way many times before, this was the first time I’d taken this particular detour.

I then headed south on the coast road through Oban to Lochgilphead where I had lunch in a nice warm spot overlooking the Crinan Canal.

Then it was time to head for home along the shores of Loch Fyne & Loch Lomond.

A really great day out on the bike today, the majority of the 353 miles on quiet dry roads with nothing more than my iPod for company!

Not a bad day for photographs either.
