Late video this week guys, because all of us cyclists have to deal with the dreaded disease that cannot be named! divorce – 91

In this video I dip my cycling toe into a gravel ride within the boundaries of Galloway Forest Park! I leave from the small village of Straiton, which is also very popular with walkers! I then travel towards Dalmellington before turning off and heading into the wilds of Loch Doon and the Gravel route that everyone is raving about. I'm also including two of the "Ayrshire Alps" and I have to admit these are not for the faint of heart. I hope to complete more in the near future.

I used Komoot to plan this route, ultimately becoming Komoot 3 times, a first for this chimpanzee! Fortunately, I was able to get back on track quickly every time

I used Komoot to plan this route and I have to say it's a great app for planning your route or using some pre-made user routes!

As always I've included a link to the route below (I've updated it so you don't get lost or komooted like I did) but you can also follow me on Strava or Komoot, just search for That Cycling Chimp.

Feel free to leave a comment if you use Komoot to plan your trips and if you think it's a great app? Do you think there are other, better apps for creating navigation routes?

Also consider subscribing if you haven't already. Many of you are watching the videos and if you don't want to miss this because there are more adventures to come! Your subscription keeps me and the channel moving and I appreciate every subscribe button pressed!

Hope to see you next time, and don't forget to drive safely guys!
