Description

Airth to Polmont

I've uploaded various rides between these two villages (Airth and Polmont) before and usually, I would take as much of the local cycle paths and routes as possible, but this ride follows the main roads. There is a mix of dual carriageway, A class and B class roads but although it was recorded early morning and on a weekday the traffic experienced wasn't too heavy. From leaving the village of Skinflats at around 5.5kms we're travelling along a straight road that passes by the Kelpies on the right-hand side. After that, we skirt the southern side of the industrial town of Grangemouth - where there's a small stop for some traffic lights at some road works that I didn't edit out but it's only for 1m 30s before reaching Polmont. The area from Airth, through Grangemouth, is all on flat land beside the River Forth and it's not until we get to Polmont that you will experience any inclines and even then it's only for the very last 1km.
