This weekend gone was mainly dry - I took a spin on my road bike from Kinlochleven up to Kentallen. This route takes in mainly B roads and then joins a new off roadbike track at Gleann a'Chaolais. This new track is part of a route that Sustrans (the charity responsible for the National Cycle Network) is building from Oban to Ballachulish. This cycle track will eventually go through to Fort William. The new track is great - off road, tarmac surface and suitable for kids, beginners and the more experienced. So far it only goes to Kentallen but that suited me as it meant I could stop off at the Holly Tree Hotel for tea and a scone. I then returned to Kinlochleven via the other side of Loch Leven. A really nice round trip that took about 3 hours at a moderate pace.

Other cyclists in the Outdoor Capital were up to far more hardcore things - this weekend was the No Fuss 24 hour race 'Relentless' - well done to all those who took part and to the winners.
