Pedalling Perthshire
I only took up cycling during CoVid in 2020 when we were stopped from doing everything we'd done on a regular basis. As a heavier chap I needed a way to try to keep moving so as not to put on too much weight.
The cycling was a way to keep moving but stick within the rules. It started fairly local on an old mountain bike and progressed to a bit further afield after I bought a gravel bike (first new bike in around 20 odd years).
The target was to be fit enough to complete the 5 Ferries challenge for charity in 2021.
In 2022 I did London to Paris over 3 days with the boys because we decided we wanted to.
In 2023 we did a loop round the north of the Netherlands and in 2024 we've been out to loop round the south.
Who knows what the future will bring......
What I'd found I wasn't stopping to take in the beautiful scenery on any of my rides, local or far away, so decided to give an action cam a go and try to capture more of what the countryside has to offer, and here we are.
Enjoy!
