Ride 14/01/2024

9 of us on the bun run today, and although it was forecast to be colder than yesterday, I was actually ok temp wise today. I was well wrapped up but with some of the faster guys on the ride this morning I think the small increase in pace helped here. We skipped out Knockhill and stuck to the main roads for safety and headed for the Coffee Bothy as our cafe stop for the day. This would mean doing a very different route than the usual one, slightly flatter than usual and a bit shorter, not by much though. We headed down Saline and along Coalsnaughton before heading down to Alva and along the foothills to the cafe stop. After that we then crossed the river and headed along the flatland’s through Fallin and Airth before crossing back over the river at Kincardine. We then followed the usual route along the coast back to Dunfermline but rather than heading along to Dalgety Bay Ken and I went through Dunfermline instead, which meant I was about 2 miles short of the usual 55 miles so a quick ride along to Mossmorran to make up the difference was called for So 55 miles clocked up at an avg speed of 16 mph.
