The Big Strathie Bike Ride

St. Andrews - 38.6 Miles

The last match before the 1st XV League November break was a nice short trip to a sunny St. Andrews.  A 7:00am start was decided upon so we would have time for a spot of lunch.

The Friday night club dinner extravaganza gave Road Runner and Wooden Cock now to be known as Major Disaster  and Corporal Punishment a bit of a thick head hence the start was slightly delayed, we also missed Corporal Jones (Raymond Moug) who peddled all the way to Fife meet up with us on the other side of the Tay Bridge . 

The route was quiet with a nice ride through Tentsmuir Forrest with no incidents until Corporal Punishment's chain broke going up the hill  on the way to The Whey Pat Tavern, luckily though his balls weren't broken and he made it on foot then Corporal Jones fell off his bike.  The pub was open and we were able to have some lunch except for the captain who stuck with beer and fags.  The students managed to mess up the times with the referee so that gave us time for an extra pint before the last 3/4 mile along to the ground. 

There were 4 winners of this weeks 50/50 each collecting £22.50 each guessing correctly at 38.6  miles.  To learn more and enter the next 50/50 CLICK HERE.

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.
