We went on the shortest route, just under 30 miles, out along the Southern side of Loch Tummell , cross over at Tummell Bridge and back along the sunny side .
It wasn't long before most left us behind and we told those who waited to carry on...we're not as fit as we should be OR used to hills!! The others rode an extra ten miles over the shoulder of that snow topped mountain, Schiehallion..finding snow and ice on the road as well!!
After a brief lunch came the AGM, and at the end the Pirate and one of our main mover and shakers were presented with life memberships of the team. Pirate is already the President,voted so by all the other riders for all he has done and still does for cycling and his fellow cyclists.
In the evening we all had supper at an Italian restaurant in the town and some went on to local live music. A great night out.
We'd hoped for a ride out in the morning, but discretion ruled after -5 C overnight. Instead we found Santa at Queen's View along Loch Tummell (Queen Isabella, wife of Robert the Bruce, NOT Queen Victoria....)....as well as beautiful views....
