Date is set 29th January: TK baltic bawbags MacRetro classic season opener.

Meet at 10.30am at the Loch Ordie Walks Car park at the back of Dunkeld, where the red loop starts on this map...

Image

The route is a mix of the coloured lines on the map, I usually rece the route the week before to see what is ok to ride, we usually encounter some ice but we do try to avoid it. There are hills but it is generally uphill out and downhill back. Mostly wide landrover track with a few footpaths thrown in.

Distance wise it is between 12-15 miles and run at a relaxed pace and we stop frequently for chats. There are a few clear "turn-back" or "skip a section" options if you do get tired.

Last year the weather forced us up to Pitlochry which was a bit more hilly. A few left out a section of hill and waited on us to return. We have a mixture of fitness, if you are less fit just don't use Radek to keep pace, you (and me) will be dead in a mile :)

Me,

Sorry for the lack of pushing this ride on my part but I have a deadline on the 6th and the missus has been ill so my mind has been elsewhere.

Can anyone suggest a theme for this - I was going to do Ghetto Snow Tyres as a fun theme but we ain't got no snow!
