Catch up

Slight break in transmission since my last posting 11 days ago. There have been 2 group rides since then - the first last Monday was to Torphins and I received the following photo from that ride:

Much more information was forthcoming about last Thursday's ride to Finzean - John M reports:

"On the last day before the path to Brexit the Freewheelers convened at 0900 and went out through  the arch and along the river path.

A poll was held at one of the viewpoints and we found that we were 100% for Remain - although only a sample size of 7 - Scott , Chris , John P , Dick , Les , Ken P and myself . 

It was a warm day - around 20 degrees and the climb to Shooting Greens was a bit of a slog . We turned left at the top and then right down Dick's farm track route and on to Finzean farm shop .

We sat outside in warm sunshine for our coffee and scones .

Scott had to get back for 12 so he took the direct route and the rest of us went via Bogendreip and the rickety  bridge .

We met Robert ? the owner of the house and land on the route - he was gracious about us using the track through his property and  Les asked him to improve his path maintenance so that we might access the ford next time instead of the dodgy bridge .

Return home via Mill of Cammie - all agreed it was a great ride .

35.7 km and 413 m"
