Weekly cycling
The main weekly cycle ride has, as of Sunday 29 August 2010, swapped to
being on Sunday mornings (rather than Friday evenings).
It starts from the near the entrance to the main store in Morrisons car park
(off the big roundabout in Stratton Road) at 10am on Sundays.
[We will revert to Friday evening rides next summer once
the daylight gets long enough to fit in a ride before dusk]
See the website Training page for more details on cycling.
Drambuie Challenge outcome
The Drambluie Rinse team, comprising Isobel Waterhouse, Irene Thomson,
Bridget Funnel and Jess Lynes, came 7th out of 15 international all male teams
(just one other young girl in one team), and were 3rd out of the
6 British teams.
"Totally awesome !!! we finished so much higher than we could ever
have wished for!"
Eventually there will be our video on the Drambuie website but they have thrown
together a short one for youtube which gives a few glimpses of our team
