Squeaky Wheels the Rationale

Team Squeaky Wheels came together by accident following a drunken conversation about the possibility of riding from Lands End to John O'Groats. The result was the accumulation of a quarter of a millenniums worth of accumulated wit and (arguably) wisdom in the guise of Jeff, Tim, Don and Michael. To give us all an incentive to accomplish this route we decided to make the journey a sponsored ride for McMillan Cancer Support, and run this Blog for our friends and supporters. Hopefully we will provide daily reports of our progress and events during the ride. These may become more terse as exhaustion and saddle sores kick in. So watch this space.

Day (13)

A really strange day from Stirling to Pitlochry. After a brutal climb out of Stirling we crossed the moor in relatively good weather. The views from the moor across to the high mountains in the north were wonderful and we had coffee in Crieff in good heart and spirits. Continued to Aberfeldy up the "Sma Glen"  and the scenery from it and Glen Cochill were great. Attempts to capture the scenery are shown below. However half way across Glen Cochill the weather closed in and rain and a nagging NE wind started. The temperature plummeted and everyone arrived in Aberfeldy frozen to the bone. Heavy weather gear donned we continued down the Tay valley in a steady drizzle. Following a cycle track to Pitlochry the drizzle stopped and we got good views across to the mountains topped by cloud. Scotland is toying with us and showing Janus like its different faces.

    There were times when the weather will complicate our plans. But still you had a great time and were able to capture these sceneries.
