The Big Strathie Bike Ride
RH Cougars - Edinburgh - 73.2 Miles
Captain Slow and Road Runner set off at 5:05 am on Saturday 14th of
August and were joined by Beyonce for a cup of tean at Bridge of
Earn, perfect timing for the big hill climb to Scarhill and Glenfarg on
the Wicks of Baiglie road a massive 700' climb at 35 miles which
certainly tested the legs.
The rest of the ride was relativley straight forward with a few
gentle inclines including a stop for lunch in Cowdenbeath and a photo
opportunity over the Forth Road Bridge arriving in Edinburgh just as
play was kicking off.
Well done to coach Dave
Brown who won the first 50/50 guessing the correct mileage for the ride
at 73.2 miles. To learn more and enter the Hillfoots

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.
