Ride 16/04/2023 Galashiels Randonee

So today was another Club Randonne with 8 of us doing the ride. We would be starting in Galashiels and doing a loop down to Eskdalemuir for our cafe stop. It was a overcast day with a few rain showers here and there but nothing too bad. We were up against a slight headwind to start with going up hill but the gradient was low about 3-5% so this was a fairly easy ride for me. The cafe stop was excellent I had soup and sticky toffee and custard for pudding with coffee and they were large portions so this was great We then headed back to Galashiels going a slightly different route but we had a tail wind and it was a lot of downhill so we were motoring along on the way back. So 80 miles clocked up today at an avg speed of 16 mph and what a great ride it was
