Day 3

Day 3 started with 35 miles up hill through Glencoe Valley!! A steady paced climb got us to the top in one piece albeit cold (although several stops later!). Near the top Rich played the part of the Easter bunny by hiding eggs on bikes ( Jo pulled a minor tantrum after thinking all eggs were eaten before realising the eggs were hidden on the bikes).

Ipods then went on to create a much needed distraction from the pain of the hills and our journey along Loch Lomond.

After 80 miles we stopped for lunch in a random village before making our way to Glasgow. On the way, whilst our pelaton style cycling was much improved, we weren't totally in command when a constatina effect crash happened and Charlie fell into the dual carriage way.

We had a scenic tour though Glasgow past the airport and over suicide bridge and Si managed his 3rd stationary fall in 3 days.

We then faced a massive hill which gave us views all over Glasgow before tackling the final stretch to Kilmarnock. Olie was taking pictures all day whilst managing to power up hills, along with Tom, up all hills.

Jo, map reader for the day, got us to our destination for the day, Premier Inn which luckily also served food - much needed after 116 miles. Most people gobbled down two mains, well except for Ben who was having issues finishing his super sized roast beef. Then it was time for much needed sleep!
