Ride 20/11/2022

After yesterdays discussion on doing 100 km ride today, we decided to do the Packers Lane route which would clock up the 100 km we were looking for. So 8 of us turned up this morning and we headed out towards Kincardine Bride and onto Bannockburn and Stirling. Weather wise it is similar to yesterday, light winds and overcast but s little bit colder that yesterday but not freezing yet We would be stopping at Coffee Bothy for our cafe stop but that would mean we’d ridden 45 miles or so before stopping to eat. By the time we got their I was quite hungry so I had Coke, soup of the day and banoffee pie which went down well. After the cafe stop we headed along the Hill Foots to Dollar before heading up to Saline hill. At this point we split up with some people looking to do the quickest way home but I went all the way to the top of the hill and onto Redgraigs, I needed the miles, by the time I got to Redgraigs I was just over 60 miles, probably just at the 100 km mark. I was feeling good still so I decided I would do some extra mileage and parted from the last of the group to head out on my own, I decided I would go over Knockhill and Cleish to get some elevation and some extra miles. I then headed for Kelty, Cowdenbeath and home, thus clocking up 83 miles and just shy of 16 mph, all in all a good days ride and the weather even held out and didn’t rain
