A Cycle to the Kelpies...

Saturday and Stuart organised a cycle from South Queensferry along the coast to The kelpies and on to The Falkirk Wheel, then a return to Edinburgh along the Union Canal,
The day dawned clear blue and was a perfect winter blue sky day, the day would cloud over and by sunset cold November rain rolled in for the last 2 hours of the day as we rode back to Edinburgh in darkness along the canal...
Most of the pics are stills from the Go pro as i filmed short bursts as we cycled...


Leaving from under the Forth Rail Bridge...

Winter sun shadows...

Time for some daftness...

Lol!...

That yellow box must be bad for the business next door!

The Urban sprawl of the BP works at Grangemouth...

Soon we were there...

Fed and watered we rode on to the Falkirk Wheel...

First of two cool tunnels on the Union Canal...

Also several Aqueducts...

This tunnel was cool and a highlight of the ride...

Took nearly 3 minutes to ride through...

The rocks looked amazing in the lights...

Out the other side and the return back to Edinburgh...

Impressive Aqueduct...

Into Edinburgh as the dark closed in and we were all getting wet and cold, good friendships kept the grins coming and banter  as we rode down to the van at South Queensferry

64 miles and a long day that ended with real cold rain the last 2 hours, but was an ace route, thanks Stuart for organising and planning and a lift in the big van!
