Menteith Hills
Stirling Bike Club - 14th
July 2002
Rode to Wheels of Callander, along the Sustrans route beside
Loch Venacher and climbed on the Forest Drive. Matt and Nina
suffer!
Lunch at David Marshall Lodge and Andrew re-enters his comfort
zone
Descended towards Aberfoyle and then picked up the track
back to Callander, crossing the Highland fault. We waved goodbye
to Colin here, as he had to go home and pack for his holiday.
Following the Highland fault - Nina
A roadie goes MTBing!
Matt's bum was starting to blister!
We dropped into Wheels, had tea, cleaned the bikes and road
back to Stirling with one or two detours en-route.
Swnotofthebikeshop and ice-cream at Allan Water cafe
Beer at Meadowpark

The following photos were taken by Andrew Caldwell - not
a complete stranger to offroad pursuits, but not a regular
so far. After this trip he's decided to buy some new bits
for his MTB and start coming along for more rides...can't
be bad!
