Finally facing...

A short day today, only 35 miles, taking me into the Highlands to the Spittal of Glenshee.


Out of Perth past the ancient Palace of Scone to Blairgowrie and a delightful pause at The Wee Coffee Shop (plus a far-from-ancient scone).

Then up and up towards the ski areas of Glenshee (the Valley of Peace) scene of a long-ago bloody inter-clan battle.

And tomorrow... The highest ascents of the ride...
