Ride 24/10/2021

Well I was expecting this to be a very wet and windy day and dressed accordingly, it certainly didn’t turn out that way. It actually stayed dry and we had sunshine as well and the most surprising thing was the temps which got up to 14 degrees, so I was a bit over dressed and had to lose a layer to not overheat. Given the weather forecast, which turned out to be a bit off, I was only expecting a couple to turn up but 5 turned up eventually. We decided to go an alternative route to the norm, so skipping out Knockhill and heading for Saline we rode to Stirling where we stopped for our coffee break. After the cafe stop we headed over the river and followed the coastal route round to Kincardine bridge and then returned the normal route with us splitting up at Cairneyhill and me continuing along the coastal route to Inverkeithing and back up to Crossgates and home. It turned out to be a good ride today thanks to the weather so 56 miles clocked up at 16 mph
