Boxing Day Run

At the Bothy
New Beer Cabinet
Monday was very mild and blustery with gale force winds from the south west. Never the less 5 cyclists turned up at the leisure centre eager to work off some of the festive excesses. Gus, Charlie, Ian, Dave, and Fraser sent off out the Bogside Road battling against the wind most of the way.Turning north up by Den of Airlie we got some respite but were soon working hard again along by Shanzie. We got a good blow up the steep climb by Barry Hill then again by Incheoch to the Craig Isla Bridge. Ron was already at the bothy and had the fire on and cuppie made. We had a bite to eat then moved the beer barrels to create a bit more space ready for the New Year gathering. The return journey by Lintrathen and Kingoldrum  was nice and fast helped by the strengthening wind.

  2. Brilliant must have been some really intelligent conversation after that lot! Keep up the diary almost as good as being there and less effort!
