Ok I've now been getting the chance to go out and play on my new shiny electric bike. This morning I was out minding my own business on the quiet Sunday roads. I came to a bridge over the union canal near Whitecross and looked down. There it was, the "TOWPATH" It looked inviting and would actually take me to within 3/4 mile from my house. I gingerly went down the slope onto the towpath and once there I started to peddle. I always said I used level 5 power all the time. I knew those words would come back and bite my butt. 15mph the begger got to before knew it. Anyway, down to level 2 and a better speed.
The reason for this post though, is to ask a question about towpaths. This one was terrible all loose stones and not very wide. Are all towepaths like this? People from my area have said they have done this towpath for miles and enjoyed it. I turned off the canal at the first opportunity which was about a mile outside Polmont and came back by road.
Does anyone here live near Falkirk and know the path in question. Have you done it on a bike and enjoyed it?
Hopefully, if I've done it right, there should be a pic of the towpath in this post.
