The Big Strathie Bike Ride
Stirling Uni 69.2 Miles
Just Captain Slow and Road Runner for this
undulating trip to Stirling. Avoiding the busy A roads
comes at a cost with short sharp hills taking a toll on the legs.
There certainly wasn't much down hill on this trip.
The change of location to Stirling County's ground was a welcome
relief as it meant not having to negotiate the big climb up to
the Uni's pitches.
A fairly uneventful journey except for
James May who is getting used to his new clip in shoes, a BMW
reversed out of a space in Crieff looking the wrong way but
luckily catastrophe was averted and we continued unscathed.
There was only one winner this week
of the 50/50, Mike, the barman from the West End correctly
guessed at 69.2 Miles. To learn more and
enter the next
50/50 which is to Ross Sutherland on
the 9th of October

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.
