Ride 12/02/2023

First club randonee of the year and 12 or us were on the ride. We would be doing a 100 km loop from Dunfermline to Kelty then to Leslie and over Falkland hill down to Auchtermuchty for a cafe stop. Then continuing over Glentarkie hill down to Abernethy and up Glenfarg to Milnathort. We would then head for Cleish and finally up and over Knockhill. Weather wise it was dry, not too windy or cold so we had decent weather for the ride. The cafe stop would be at our favourite one in Auchtermuchty were I had soup, cake and coffee, needed the fuel Some nice climbs today, not too steep or high, so I was able to go up then at a good pace. I was looking to do the usual 75 miles today so rather than heading back to Dunfermline, I headed right through it and onto Dalgety Bay to knock out the extra 10 miles that I would need. So all in all a good days ride with some excellent climbing, nearly 5000 feet and clocking up 77 miles at an avg speed of 15 mph.
