Description

Falkirk to Torphichen

I keep hoping one of these days I'm going to get to Torphichen and it's going to be a lovely sunny day! I've heard the views over the Forth Valley from up there are gorgeous!

When I filmed this video I hadn't cycled for a few days and was feeling in the need of some decent exercise so I'm afraid there are some long slow uphill climbs before we get to Torphichen. In fact, I think I sought out all the hills I could to get there! 😁 I think the most challenging incline is just 10% but I'm afraid more than 50% of the ride is uphill. If you are a seasoned hill climber maybe do this video in Challenge mode. If you want to see how slow I am on the hills you should choose Discovery mode.

To make matters worse it started to rain towards the end of the ride so there are some drops on the GoPro lens which Kinomap don't like so this one will never be available in 1080p format but hopefully, this doesn't spoil your "enjoyment" too much? Let me know what you think.
