This is the long one, although it nearly didn't end up as long as it should have been.
On doing some investigation, it seems that NCR 754 gets a fair amount of bad press as to the quality of it's surface and suitability for road bikes. Regrettably then, as I don't want to spend the day getting punctures if they can be avoided, I have had to replot this away from the canals. This means more up and down!
I could end up replanning it on the fly if we get there and it all looks OK. Will see.
Still managed to get the route to go past the Helix and Kelpies in Falkirk, as both of these look well worth a look.
Some good hills (ask me again later) after about 55 miles when we head into the Highlands. And saved the bigest climb for just at the end of the day, what a muppet.
