Our ride on 25th June was determined by rail strikes and the need to avoid a large event in the city centre, so we opted for a run to Lochwinnoch. Heading out via quiet residential streets to Paisley, we picked up the cycle path to have a traffic free run most of the way. At Howwood we split into two groups, one of which continued along the path and the other tested pilots and stokers legs uphill for a mile and a half before a lovely descent into the village for lunch at Castle Semple loch. Then a pleasant return along the path via Leverndale and Ross Hall park . Four tandem pairs and 3 solos enjoyed the sunshine. At 32 miles, this was Helen’s longest ride to date, so well done Helen and all of the pilots and stokers on what was a pretty fast paced ride.
