The morning team completed a monster ride - so long, in fact, that I passed them returning home on Bridge St as I was heading out to meet Keith for our 2 pm outing. Considering they started at 9:30 am, that's fully four and a half hours they were away for!
Strava shows they went way past Finzean out to Birse, completing 47 kms with 461 m of climbing. Reports were that Jeff's new(ish) bike let him down again, hence he doesn't show in the team photo:

Keith and I couldn't make the morning ride, but went out in the afternoon instead, heading south past Tilquhillie and Knockburn out to Durris and over the Park bridge and back - a total distance of 33 kms with 297 m of climbing, the hardest part of which came a little too early in the ride for our liking.

There was a brief discussion at this point about a potential scone stop at Milton, but it was unanimously agreed that we would make this the first Booze Cruise for a while and headed for the Legion instead, where Malcolm Grigor joined us for a beer.
