Freewheeler reports w/e 15 Aug

Here's Rufus' match report from Thursday's Deeside run:

"A fit four met at the Guide hut at 9 am. The party comprised Dick Taylor, Les… and Ken..
It was a a lovely day, sunny and a reprieve from the rain. Under the leadership of Les and Dick we cycled over the Dee and rode along the south bank of the Dee. Dick was familiar with the area as he lived here and his father cultivated a market garden.  We rode past Blackhall and Bogendriep. There was a stage where we had to ride through some thick bushes!
We reached the Finzean farm at about 10.30 and had scones and coffee.
We returned with good weather again  and stopped to admire  Les’s place on the banks of the Feugh. We finished the ride at 12.45."

Dick provided the team photo:


Les' Strava stats show that they completed the Finzean loop - 36 kms - https://www.strava.com/activities/367973872. Don't know if anyone collected the fivers?

Meanwhile, Ian Sharp, visiting his new grandson in Athens, sent this report:

"Grabbed a couple of hours today with my son Graeme's bike - left the ladies looking after my new grandson !!
Explored around parts of Kifisia - hilly suburb to north of Athens.
No real cycle paths / country roads so spent 2 hours of casual cycling / window shopping cycling - and a coffee plus huge croissant stop !!
No idea how far - possibly 16k or so - but in 35 degrees I broke a Freewheelers golden rule by having a cool beer near home !!"
