Saturday run 13th March

Saturday's ride took place the day before the RadTour so the group decided to save their legs and ride at a brisk social pace instead of splitting into the normal slower and faster groups. Club Captain, Andy Weaving sends in this report about the run which left Linlithgow at 9.00am

Great run today, 10 riders were out, Bill, Donald, Steve, Mark, Craig, Sadiq, Gary (Pedal Power) and I, plus two new riders, Ian from Kirkliston, who rides with ERC and Paul.

We headed off on the Dalmeny route following a steady social run pace. Paul was very fit for his first club run, which was explained by his background in running. Ian also had a good time and enjoyed the cycle on the minor roads. They hope to be out again, the weather was fantastic so we made the most of it by skirting up round the Bathgate Alps before heading off home.

Craig said "I enjoyed the ride today, it was about 35 miles at a steady pace but my legs still felt it a bit. I am a long way from full fitness!"
