8 of us on today’s ad-hoc ride that I organised and weather wise it was cold and windy to start with, although the sun did eventually come out but unfortunately the wind did not abate the whole ride round 😬😡 which made this tougher than needed. The route I had chosen was over Knockhill, up to Yetts, through Glendevon and Gleneagles and on to Crieff where we had our first stop. Scrambled egg roll and coffee were the choice of the day. We then headed for Comrie and up and over the moors to Braco before heading round to Dunblane, Bridge of Allan and Stirling where we stopped at Corrieri’s for our second stop of the day. I had soup, coffee and cake which was much needed 😁 before we headed back to Dunfermline via Alloa, Kincardine and along the coastal road to Cairneyhill where we split to go our separate ways home. Normally I would just head back into Dunfermline from here but I was looking to ride 100 miles today so I opted to head along to Rosyth and Dalgety bay before heading back up to Crossgates. I was still about 10 miles short at this point so I did a little extra along the road before heading back home. So 100 miles clocked up at 17 mph avg speed which is a decent pace for me on a 100 mile ride, so I’ll take that as a win 🤗 but I’m pretty tired now so thank god tomorrow is a rest day.
