Mike could be forgiven for not cycling to work, given that it’s a 44km round trip with over 520 metres of elevation, but he’s not one to shy away from a challenge. This is Mike’s very scenic, but pretty tough, cycle to work…
Mike’s route goes like this:
- Milnathort – Netherton – Glenfarg – Bridge of Earn – Perth
- 44km round trip, +520m elevation, 1hr 42min total

Mike’s route takes him past this recently completed eco ‘PassivHaus’ by architect Kirsty Maguire, a friend from Mike’s university days.
What goes up…
About to reach 12% downhill.
There’s a bit of a story to this one.
Mike created a segment on Strava called “Brent’s Descent – Full Gas” in honour of AgileCadence owner and founder James Brentley’s favourite descent and 78.1kmph / 48.5mph speed record!
Mike’s top speed to date is an impressive 73kmph / 45.4mph.

Another hill. Middleton Hill this time, 220m. But he’s still smiling!
Job done! Arrived at the office in good time to start work – ready for a second breakfast and a coffee!
