Six cyclists got together for a relaxed  finale to the season with a sun drenched  trip to Stonehaven.  This was the first trip for Beyonce's 12 year old son Private Pike (Adam) who, with his dad, was the  to arrive at the harbour. Captain Slow was  joined by the Major, Corporal Jones and Wooden Cock.

With a strong headwind Jonsey suggested a shortcut so it was off to Brechin via Aberlemo, the pubs were shut but a nice lady gave us £2 for our troubles.

When we got to Edzell the sunshine was getting  warm but to the horror of the Captain the Ice Ceram Shop was shut so with a huff and a puff on a cancer stick it was decided the next break would be the wee shop at Fettercairn.

After a few Macaroni Pies, bags of crisps and some  fizzy pop the ever health conscious group (a banana was also seen) were heading for steep climb  through Auchenblae but with no welcoming committee at the top it was onwards to Stonehaven for the Captain, it was three long grinding hills later before the group took a break allowing for everybody to catch before the descent to Stonehaven and the welcome of the Ship Inn at the harbour.

We had an hour and a quarter to soak up some sunshine, lunch and a light refreshment, we were also joined by a travelling black support who cheered us on our way when it was time to pedal up the hill to the ground.
