Ride 17/04/2022

So today was the clubs 100k randonee with about 20 of us doing it today split over 2 groups. Weather wise it’s overcast, again a bit cold to start off with but warming up in the afternoon, with a little bit of wind. We would be riding the Braco route today which takes us over Knockhill, through Glendevon, around Gleneagles, through Braco and the back home via Dunblane, Stirling, Alloa and the coastal road to Dunfermline. We stopped at the Coffee Bothy for our cafe stop which was just shy of 50 miles for me, so i had a decent lunch of soup, coke and cake I wanted to do 100 miles today as I did the 100k yesterday so I headed for Dalgety Bay and then up to Crossgates for a loop around Loch Leven which would get me my distance, I would be on my own from Dalgety Bay, no one brave enough to follow me Once around Loch Leven I stopped in Kinross for a coffee, at this point I was at 100 miles and pretty tired so I needed a break. I then headed the 10 miles home from here to get me up to 110 miles by the time I got home at an avg speed of 16 mph. Although it was a fairly flat route and I wasn’t going fast I was damn tired by the time I got home but pleased with the ride as a whole, it gets me in good stead for the Ride London in 6 weeks.
