New wheels! Literally - the bike is not new, just the wheels. ;)

Sorry to hear that! I guess the whole "rails to trails" movement might be of interest for you - with many countries now developing fairly extensive networks of bike paths along disused railways and canal towpaths. In Scotland, it's kind of embedded in the National Cycle Network, so you need dig a little, because the dedicated bike path sections of the NCN vary wildly - from the converted railway (wide & flat) to quasi-singletrack (narrow & bumpy)... But for example in Spain there are the Vias Verdes, and in France, les Voies vertes...
In other news, this trip (as well as the training and other rides of the summer) has given me a serious case of GAS. I want a new bike! Mind you, my touring rig has performed admirably, but it's tire clearance is limited (I'm maxed out at 38C), I am annoyed by its toe overlap, and it's a heavy beast. Some of my lesser used lenses have been sporting a worried expression lately... ;-)

Thank you both!
FWIW, we cycled from Glasgow, and after a cycle around Arran, we headed North, mostly on NCN78, to Inverness, and then we returned to Glasgow, mostly via NCN7 (with a detour to Loch Rannoch and Glen Lyon). Very impressed with Sustrans' work in developing the National Cycle Network. The routes are well-signed, and almost exclusively on either dedicated cycle paths or very quiet backroads. The rolling surfaces are usually very good. The diversity of terrain is amazing. The maps made by Sustrans are also very helpful and made planning much easier.
