Marc C – I still like my Wahoo Bolt V2 for the facilities it offers but do agree with you about the elegance of the Garmin Connect website when it comes to displaying stats. Lucky for us we can have the best of both worlds by importing Wahoo .fit files to the Garmin website!

Guess which nerdy person of your acquaintance just finished uploading all his journeys from the purchase date of his Trek road bike?

Here is today’s ride:

I suspect that my family regards the suggestion to vacation in Scotland as “mischievous” given that my hidden agenda was to seek out another bridge to walk!

I am old enough to remember when this Bridge opened in 1964. We did not own a vehicle back then so the main impact of this historic construction was to cut the sidewalk in front of my house in half to accommodate the highway lane widening required to cope with the expected increase in traffic. At the time we lived on Queensferry Road, the A90, which is the road leading from Edinburgh City Center to The Forth Road Bridge.

The Forth Bridge, which is a Victorian rail bridge, was opened in 1890 and lies to the East of the Forth Road Bridge. There is a proposal to create viewing platforms on top of the cantilevers of this structure and if they ever succeed in accomplishing this I will return again to make that climb.

To the West of the 1964 road bridge is the, as yet, unfinished second road bridge over the River Forth. Known as the Queensferry Crossing it is due for completion in May of 2017 much to the relief of the now over capacity original road bridge. Another reason, I guess, to return and add the new bridge to my “crossed it” list. I’m pretty sure my family wont fall for the same ruse twice so not sure quite when and how this will happen.
