A different sort of teef!!

 Another trip to Glasgow today!!

This time by car ..in the drizzly showers..and it was a home game for Celtic football club...they are over the road from the velodrome and can use "our" car parks...but it isn't reciprocal when there is a big cycling event on..."it's nae fitba' " !! I was lucky to be allowed in and found one of the few spaces!

It isn't just cycling in our building...there are gyms, fitness suites, indoor athletics track, offices....and a health spa!

The Womens Track Fund had a two hour session on...I wasn't there to take part, just to see a couple of friends..and make a new one...she bought a chainring...



and is borrowing a wheel later this month..which hopefully she will buy!

I left at 3pm...apparently Kick off time for the game but people were still walking towards the ground from the local station.

Plenty of police around on motorbikes...I turn onto the motorway after about a mile..and one was just in front of me.  

The speed limit there is 50mph...and it needs to be, and urban motorway with junction after junction...quite satisfying to see the speed hogs' guilty consciences kicking in as they notice the police motorbike minding his own business a few cars ahead if me....

After 5 miles , near the edge of Glasgow I can turn off and there is a Waitrose supermarket..I'd forgotten carrots in my shopping the other day...then I can carry on on the old , quieter road home!!
