The Big Strathie Bike Ride
Harris Acd FP's 26.8 Miles
A leisurely late start at 11:00am saw the
return of Corporal Jones (Raymond Moug) and
Beyonce (Dave Cashley) to the fold.
First stop was the Outdoor Store to get
Beyonce's bike fixed giving Captain Slow time
for another cancer stick before heading cross
country via the roads, Wigg Street, Kellas and Bridge
of Duntrune three new venues on route to Dundee.
It was pretty traffic free though and the
warming sunshine certainly helped.
Beyonce's bike was still making funny noises so
he headed off to a friends to try and get it
fixed and Wooden Cock aka Corporal Punishment,
for good reason, came up with a route to Harris
via the Brackens and Clatto Country Park which
was not to the captains liking - nice big long
hill in the sunshine!
We arrived at Harris an hour early and with
Jonesy needing fed decided to head for lunch -
all except the Captain, who at the thought
of heading down Glamis Road or rather coming
back up Glamis Road decided to stay put!
In the end we headed for the Beafeater by the
Airport on Riverside Drive for a couple of pints
and food. The hill back up wasn't to bad
and we arrived just in time for Kick Off.
