By day, Sanny plies his trade as a Chartered Accountant and Non-Executive Director. By night, however, give him a map and the merest whisper of a trail "that might go" and he'll be off faster than a rat up a drainpipe on some damn fool mission to discover new places to ride. Rarely without his trusty Nikon D5600, he likes nothing better than being in the big mountains, an inappropriately heavy bike on his back, taking pics and soaking up the scenery. He also likes to ride his bike there too although rumours that he is currently working on his next book, "Walks with my bike", are untrue (mostly).
Fat biking, gravel riding, bikepacking, road biking, e biking, big mountain adventures - as long as two wheels are involved, you'll find him with a grin on his face as he dives off the side of a mountain, down a narrow lane or into deep undergrowth in search of hidden trails and new adventures.
His favourite food is ham and mushroom pizza and he is on a mission to ride all of the Munros, mostly as it allows him to indulge in eating more pizza.
He has no five year plan, is a big fan of the writing of Charlie Connelly and reckons that Kermode and Mayo's Film Review Podcast is quite possibly the finest bit of broadcasting around.

How old is this article?
Because the traffic is back to 80% normal round our way.
“How old is this article?”
The dry streets, sunshine and trees covered in green foliage might be a clue
(great article, and Chakoo is an indian “tapas” place, hence the small portions!)
Still a good tour of the West of Glasgow. What a great city.
We did the pics last month hence the foliage still on the trees although Autumn took a while to kick in up here. Definitely felt later than last year for sure.
As a measure of how much things change in a short time, the traffic has dropped again since the new Tier 4 was introduced although Friday was mentally busy as the world and his dug seemed hellbent on visiting every shop that was open in Glasgow! It was like rush hour for the whole day.

Cheers for the local knowledge of Chakoo. I will definitely need to give it a whirl.
Jacob.
Glad you liked it!
Hopefully you will have read or decide to read the other 4 pieces in the series. You will no doubt recognise a few of the locations if you know Glasgow and the surrounding area?
The whole series was great fun to do.
Cheers
Sanny
