Tour de Forth

I've getting right into cycling this year, enjoyed watching Bradley Wiggins and Team Sky winning the Tour de France and then enjoyed Team GB successes (and failures) in the Olympics, so was keen to get involved in some cycling this year.  Gillian had just bought a lovely new bike and our friend Grant has just bought a new Team Belgium cycling top so we decided to enter this years "Tour de Forth".  Its a 70 Mile cycles from Edinburgh across the Forth Road bridge and along the North of the Forth to the new Clackmannanshire bridge and back along the south of the Forth back to Edinburgh.

It was a tough day on the bike, but the weather was good so we had a few stops and photos on the way .  100 Miles next ?????

Dean and Grant to the Start.  Dean was the Domestique (i.e. I get to carry everyones kit !!!)

Ready for the off.
