June was another busy month for the club. Our first ride was almost 50 miles, starting from Falkirk and riding along canal paths to Linlithgow, then out to Queensferry, over the Forth Road Bridge, and back via Culross, Clackmannanshire Bridge , the Kelpies and the Falkirk Wheel. Many thanks to Alastair for leading. I think this “Two Bridges” ride will become an annual fixture.

The next day 5 tandem pairs took part in the first Ford ride Glasgow, which was good fun – we took part in the feeder ride from the south side, rode a circuit around closed roads in the city centre, and some of us even made it up Montrose St, an iconic challenge often used in road race courses in the city including last year’s UCI.

Our last ride was a more gentle affair but still a decent length at 40 miles, out to Kilmacolm and back with some added hills on the way out.
