Ride 19/03/2023 Braco Randonee

Second Randonee of the year and this time it was around Braco. Good weather day, sunny to start with but eventually it became overcast, but we had light winds and a decent temperature, not cold but not warm, but I only had to wear 3 layers rather than the usual 4 or 5 that I’ve been wearing for the past few months 8 of us on the run today, going over Kncokhill and up through Glendevon and down to Gleneagles. With all of the hills over it was pretty much flat all the way, other than the climb I would have back up to home. The cafe stop was quite late in the ride, I had covered 45 miles before we stopped at the Coffee Bothy but it was a good lunch of soup, coffee and cake With most of the riding down it was back home via the usual Sunday bun run along the coast and back home via Dalgety Bay thus clocking up 76 miles at an avg speed of just short of 17 mph, that last damn hill climb always wrecks havoc with my speed as I was averaging 17 mph up till that point anyway a good days ride all round.
