Ride 30/070/2023 July Randonee

So it’s Randonee day with 9 of us heading towards Auchtermuchty. It was a mixed bag of weather day, started out raining but stayed mostly dry for the say with a few showers here and there. I was prepared for that today as I was out on the winter bike in wet weather gear. I’ve done this router before, not that long ago actually so I new what we were in for. We had a tail wind to start with so we were blown all the way to Leslie before we tackled our first climb of the day up and over Falkland hill. Then a short ride to the cafe stop of the day in Auchtermuchty were I had some nice soup, cake and coffee. We then had a head wind all the way back to Milnathort, but I stayed in the back in shelter so it wasn’t too bad for me today. We then headed for our second climb of the day up Cleish hill, it’s actually shorter than Falkland but steeper, so it’s bit of a nippy one, then we were heading back home again to Dunfermline. I followed Ken down to Dalgety bay as I was looking to do 65 miles but more than that, I was looking for some extra elevation. So I headed back up to Dunfermline and carried on up to Kingseat to get the 4000 feet of elevation I was looking for. So all in all 67 miles clocked up at an avg speed of 15 mph but this was fine given the extra elevation I got out of it.
