Sunshine again today, full tank, where to go? I know, lets go north.

New Forth road bridge looks to be coming along fine.

After struggling through all the road works I went up by Knockhill.

Stopping at Powmill milk bar for a coffee and a bacon roll, the place has had a repaint, new owners and a slight increase in prices since last year. Obviously I could not get a pie as the guy on the left of the picture had ate them all.

Through Glendevon and Gleagles to Crieff and turned left heading for Loch earn.

Rubbish picture taken just after Gleneagles.

A couple of views along the road to St Fillans.

I took the single track road that goes along the side of Loch Earn as the main road is always busy and full of nutters on motorcycles.

A couple of pictures from the shore.

And one looking across to Lochearnhead.

It was all dowhill from there but I did get 2 shots of Loch Lubnaig.

All worn out by this time so had to stop for a last coffee at Killmahog before the run home.

I always cut through Doune on the way home as going the main road past Blair Drummond Safari Park is just a pain with all the traffic. On the way from Doune to the start of the M9 is the David Stirling Memorial.

For those that are wondering who he is, he was the man who started the SAS during WW 2.

Last shot looking back to God's own country.

Beautiful day out there, wish I had all that on my door step.

I couldn't ride today, even though the weather was brilliant. Had to go to visit me old mom, she still doesn't know I'm riding again 9 yrs after my big trip to intensive care !

Glad your oot n about Andy,

Great biking weather, but I am afraid I was baby sitting the Gran kids ( Daughter off to Edinburgh for a friends 40th Bash )

So no biking for me just water fights and ice-cream in a very warm Huntly ( not even April and ""T0ps Off"" )

being a good grandparent I slapped factor 50 on the wee blue highlanders :)
