The Big Strathie Bike Ride
Hillfoots - Tillycoultry - 65.0 Miles
Wooden Cock AKA Whitewash joined James May
and Road Runner for the first league match trip.
Captain Slow determined that another
5:00am start was required so that showers and beer could be had
prior to kick off. First stop was the Murroes village hall
for a quick smoke and photo then it was into Dundee and over the
Tay Bridge and into Fife for a well earned breakfast stop at
Greggs The
Bakers in Cupar.
It was then off to Auchtermuchty where we
were welcomed by some naughty nurse uniforms hanging up to dry
leading to some conversation and thoughts of who might wear them
and if she could ease the stiffness in Wooden Cock's shoulders.
Next came
The Inn At Muckhart for a fine pint of
Devon Thick Black Ale which did not last to long but was
just enough to reignite Captain Slow's engine for the final 4
miles into Tillycoultry
This week there were two
winners of the 50/50 Matt Hannay of St Andrews
Uni and Agie Phillips from Forfar who correctly
geussed at 65.0 Miles. To learn more and

The monies raised will be split between the Everyman Charity and the
club where the money will go directly towards an extension to the clubhouse benefiting both
the juniors, seniors and all who come who come along to watch the
matches and support the club.
Everyman is a campaign that was launched by The Institute of Cancer
Research in 1997. Everyman's mission is to stamp out testicular
and prostate cancer, more can be found out by clicking on their logo.
We aim to have a variety of sponsorship opportunities through the
season. There will be a book behind the bar where a donation and
an overall season accumulator competition can be entered. A
separate match 50/50 book will be available the week before all the away
matches where you can guess the distance travelled for £1.
All club members and supporters are more than welcome to join in any of the
rides, we are also looking for volunteers to assist with transport and
back up.
