Not a lot happening?

This is the time of year when there is not a lot going on.

Well not the case for yours truly. I have been visiting Primary Schools in the North of Glasgow through the Active Schools programme intoducing the older groups of chilren 8 to 12 years to cycling safety. Here in Scotland we have an updated scheme that replaces what us older cyclist new as the Cycling Proficiency scheme. The first stage in the Scottish Cycle Training scheme introduces the children to checking the bikes before they get on. With emphises on enjoyment and fun.

A practice we would all benifit from.

The young people seem to have enjoyed this input and lets hope it has an impact on their future cycling enjoyment.

I have also included a view of Ben Ledi from Callander with a covering of snow as we are in a winter wonderland at moment. Not great cycling weather but great to get out walking in.

The 1st of Feruary was the 20th anniversary of the death Harry Lawrie a local police sergent and leader of Killin Mountain Rescue Team. He died on Ben More Crainlarich in a helicopter accident whilst on a rescue. There is a cross on the summit of Ben Ledi in memory of him.

The bookings for our various services to walkers and cyclist are beginning to come in it looks like we are going to have another busy season.
