"Monday was another fine day and 8 showed up for the local ride - Jack , John P , Ian Sh , Iain W , Dick , John L , Hugh and myself .
The 2 castles route was chosen - Deeside Way , Crathes
west gate , farm track section then eventually to Drum castle where we sat out
in the courtyard for coffee and scones .
A small lobby group kept us on the hugh road - down the
castle drive then left and back in to the minor roads towards Hirn and the
recording studio ..
At the end of the Drumshalloch farm track we had a
lengthy chat about bike maintenance - John P being on a spare bike having
commendably stripped his own bike down (
still be to put back together though) . Shortly afterwards on the road to the
Cowshed Iain Wright punctured - still inspired by the bike repair chat we did
the right thing - and called my son Jamie to collect Iain .
A very pleasant ride
36.3 km ,346 m"
Incidentally, congrats to Messrs Larkin and Morton for completing the Trossachs Ton at the weekend - 130 kms and 1,500 m - well done boys! As part of his training for the event, the dark side riders took John M up the Cairn last week:
