Day 2 Ford to Crianlarich. 46.35 mil. 2173 ft elevation.

We awoke to brilliant sunshine at this idyllic location on South Loch Awe. What a super day to be on the road. We cycled north on the minor east road, single lane, quiet, until we hit roadworks. They had just tarred the road so we had to carrry, push our bikes on the verge for about half a mile ! Taxing to say the least. The road wound past Loch Awe for 21 miles, stunning scenery. We met up with Jillian in Cilla, campervan at Kilchoan Castle where we enjoyed our prepared sandwiches in the sunshine.  On now to the busy A85 to Tyndrum, once again we split into groups of 4 to help the traffic flow, worked well. As it was the weekend there were many whizzing motorbikes which unsettled some Belles. All good experience girls ! Quick coffee stop at the Green Welly then south on the A82, just 5 miles to Crianlarich. Traffic was heavy but there were no real issues. Crianlarich Hostel is perfect and once again our every need is catered for. Delicious dinner in the Crianlarich Hotel,  a hotel with a mixture of old and new charm. Another very enjoyable day for the Belles, all coping very well with the daily cycling. Great fun and chat. Will write more tomorrow. Bye.
