Day 3
CrianLarich to Sanquhar
98 miles
The team are right in to the swing of it, 5:30am start, get breakfast down them and off they go.
98 miles, today was marked as a “Rest Day†if 98 miles can seriously be classed as that?
After Scott had offered lube to everyone (that was to grease the chains) and the lycra was comfortably in place, we waved farewell to the manager of the guesthouse, a real character of a man, proper Scottish, straight talking, full of humour and good craic.
The first 25 miles was a real pleasure, cycling alongside Loch Lomond, appreciating what a wonderful place we were in. The checkpoint at Luss provided a photo opp for the boys, not only of the scenery but one American couple asked for a picture of Wes, fame at last.
Heading towards Glasgow, the lads crossed the River Clyde via a tunnel in which they had to gain access through an intercom system and also passed the Ibrox stadium, home of Rangers FC.
Lunchtime brought a real treat, take out from Pizza Hut, all four faces lit up when they saw the boxes and food was soon devoured.
An added bonus came when Wes visited the opticians to have his eye checked out, not only did he receive really good treatment but the staff member donated £10 to the lads donation page….. cheers for that Vision Express.
Scott, Wes, Jay and Lewis are keeping each other going, please continue to support them and donate to their cause if you can. (Please find a link below)
