The hilly short run round Prosen and Clova always has a good turn out and we hoped the good weather would draw a crowd. Numbers were lower than thought as seven headed out but were joined on the run by Iain who was a wee bit late, saw us leaving and caught us in Kirrie and Angela and Lynsey joined us at the beer festival to give us 10 for the day.
It was a fairly uneventful ride up until David, who had only arrived home at 1am from holiday had the bad luck of a puncture at the bottom of the steepest hill of the day. By the time we realised something was up and Gus & I ventured back down he was back on the road so we got a second hit up the big one.
Pace was good all the way and we arrived just on 12 only to find out that they were not starting till 1 so we had lunch in the bar with an early pint.
£5 paid and we were in, early enough to get some seats in the sun. There was a good selection of beer and the hog roast was on so there was plenty of food and beer, the band was warming up and we had a couple of hours of tunes before leaving the ladies who were planning to stay till the end.
Donald & I headed back via the Drovers who were having 'A Taste Of Angus' festival in the garden. A cracking barbi with steak, lobster and loads other fancy stuff and Mor Brewing had a tent with some samples to give away. We were lucky that Ron had bought some beer from them for the bothy so they were happy to chat and give us good sized top ups.
There was a band on there as well but as it got close to 5 the haar came in so we retreated to the bar for the final pint of the day. A gentle run into Forfar with the water bottle racks full of Mor beer - good day oot!
