Quote from AlastairSmith68 on 14 May 2025, 19:48Saturday’s ride will be to Logie Steading via Drynachan.
The route is approximately 122km with an elevation gain of 1490m. The café stop is at The Olive Tree Café at Logie Steading. This a long an hilly route, with the bulk of the climbing on the outward leg. the weather forecast is for warm sunshine but a NE breeze. Bring plenty of water and wear sunscreen!
We ask folks to pre-select groups, either 1, 2 or 3, based on average speed.
(Please note speeds are a rough guide and may vary up or down on the day depending on conditions). We will endeavour to accommodate your group selection, dependent on rider numbers and availability of ride leaders. For the safety of all riders, we operate a “no drop” policy on our Saturday rides.
Group 1: 26-29kph / 16-18mph
Group 2: 22-26kph / 14-16mph
Group 3: 21-24k[h / 13-15mph
If you want to challenge yourself, you can select a faster group than usual with the option of dropping down after the coffee stop. This route offers a couple of points where it can be shortened too.
Please meet at Fairways roundabout, just off the distributor road at 08:50 for a 09:00 departure. Details of the route can be found below.

Cheers,
Steve
