Hey all, it's been been a couple of weeks since I started my blog and this is only my first post! Unfortunately my bike has been out of action until yesterday, when I took a trip to the little town of Leuchars, approximately five miles south of the city of Dundee, Scotland. A round trip from my area, St Andrews, is about 13 miles.
Route 1: St Andrews to Leuchars
Distance: 13.2 miles
Time: 1.5 hours
Difficulty: 20% (St Andrews to Leuchars is steadily uphill, but nothing unattainable by an inexperienced cyclist)
With the exception of crossing a few roads and a small part of the town of Leuchars, the route follows a cycle path, so for cyclists of all levels is a safe route (which also won't irritate motorists).
