DRAFT — awaiting Kevin's confirm-notes below before publish. Part of UK Home Turf.

Scotland · Clackmannanshire · Stirling

A spare tube that blew the day before, a flat battery on the day, and a loop cut ten kilometres short.

Ridden 20 April 2023 and logged: "Missing final 10kms due to no battery left... Serious issues yesterday when my spare tube blew and I was 5 k from nearest bus stop and a bike with no tubes. Lesson learned..." The run-out left the last stretch unrecorded, so the real ride is a little longer than the figures below.
