BVCG on Strava

A line has been crossed

John Meaden reports from Thursday's ride:

"Seven of us showed up last Thursday on a bright warm morning . I was last to arrive and Dick asked me to place a casting vote on whether he remains part if the Freewheelers.

I was a bit mystified until I glanced at his gleaming new Cube E bike - the first ( other than a trial ) in the Freewheelers and no doubt there will be more . Of course Dick is a Freewheeler but I defer the counting of rides , vertical  and kms to those with the required algorithms .

We set off along the river towards Shooting Greens then Finzean with Scott and Hugh taking the AA Box road route . Electric Dick was despatched back once by Les  to retrieve  a helmet - reaching 25km/hour uphill . We took the farm track down then road and track up to the Farm Shop sitting outside in the warm sunshine . The road  pair arrived 5 or 10 minutes before us .

We went back via Strachan , Jeff dropping off there and the rest of us taking the Scolty flank home .

32.5 k and 469m

Overall a highly charged run with a good buzz"
