3rd Sunday Ride


ByCycle's 3rd Sunday ride for November will be a run out to Burrelton. (There's a hotel there with particularly comforting food for this time of year. But leave the Knickerbocker Glory for some other day when you'll be taken home in a car. KGs and cycling dinna mix ...)

For those who want to look at the route in advance on Memory Map or old fashioned paper, we'll be leaving the North Inch for Bankfoot using the Luncarty cycle path. Then it's up Heart Attack Hill and on to Murthly. From there to the Kinclaven Bridge and, for those with cameras, a short detour to catch the last autumnal flush on the Meikleour Beech Hedge. From there to Burrelton via Campmuir. The return leg will flirt with Wolfhill before dropping down to Guildtown and taking the 'back road' to Stormontfield. Once past Scone Palace there will be a reminder to everyone just why you, your kith and kin, colleagues, and even people you don't like, should visit the Sustrans Connect2 website and register to vote in the Peoples Millions competition. If Sustrans wins the £50 million, Perth's share will be funding for the Destiny Bridge, and we would be taking a right turn opposite Quarrymill Woodland Park and crossing the Tay in style. That would make a splendid finale to this run. Instead, hopefully only for one last time, we'll have to negotiate our way past Bridgend to reach the North Inch.

Meet at Bell's Sports Centre at 10.00.
