Ride 20/04/2025

5 of us on today’s ride which was an ad-hoc ride organised by Nick to do the packers lane ride into Stirling. Weather wise it’s a lot better than yesterday, sunny, not too much wind, a little cold to start with but by lunch time it had warmed up to a pleasant temperature. We would have a slight tail wind to start with which made for a quick beginning to the ride, especially given how flat this route it. We would be heading to Smiddy Farm shop for our cafe stop of the day where I had avocado with poached eggs and toast, coffee and cake which went down a treat 😋 Our ride back home would take us into Stirling where we stopped at Corrieri’s for some ice cream 🍦😁 which is never a bad thing 😉 before heading into fishcross where Ken and Davy split from Nick, Stuart and I, as we would be going over Knockhill before heading back to Dunfermline, and they would take the more direct route. So 72 miles clocked up at an avg speed of 16 mph on a fine day’s ride 😀
