Day 9 - Abington to Faslane

We maximised the window of opportunity and completed 65 miles today making it as far as Helensburgh before the crosswinds along the seafront became too strong. Now holed up on Faslane! It was cold, wet and windy again today but mentally prepared, having had a good taster of the scotish weather yesterday. Re-routing through Glasgow saved time although the national cycle route was somewhat convoluted through the city centre, obviously not planned by a cyclist!! Highlight of today an early start = early finish! We also managed to ride when the pros didn't today on the Tour of Britain.
