John Meaden returns

With a whole gaggle of FW's away golfing at BoG LXIV - Les, Dick, Jack, Hugh, Ians D & St, Malcolm G, Rob and Ken P - there was but a small quorum for Monday afternoon's ride, reported on by John Meaden on his return to the saddle after his recent op:

"With a golf event on and moderate rain falling only 3 Freewheelers answers the call - John P , Drew and myself .

As my riding partners were fresh from a Lecht run I requested an easy venture . We went out towards Mill of Cammie then left  up to the windmill . The rain eased a bit and we turned left then down towards the Slug .

We took a fast and empty main road downhill to the bridge - road closed at Crathes but we got past OK on the bikes .

There was talk of extending the route after coffee at the Milton but we extended the coffee break instead .

Return via Deeside Way .

22.4 and 226m .  I was very happy to make a return to the Freewheelers- my first FW ride since 24th July ."
