We'll be changing course this week (see attached), to benefit from a nice 25kmh tailwind, yes, a tailwind and no mountain, just the drag up Flanders Moss. We'll start at the junction on the main Aberfoyle Road where we turned off on Sunday, but we'll be riding straight in the road, through Ballat Toll & finishing at the Smithy Roundabout sign. That'll give you 14.5km (9 miles). IIt'll be the same laid back approach, this isn't a formal event by any means, you'll be timed by our tried & tested iPhone timing system, i.e. an iPhone, which worked last week. So first rider off (hopefully Jez again) records times, last rider off (me) sets everybody rolling at 1 minute intervals. I'll be leaving Doyles at precisely 6:45, to get to the start just a bit after 7pm, first rider off approx 7:15.
So you basically ride as hard as you can for the distance on a road, with no junctions to negotiate & stop riding hard when you pass the sign (photo attached). It couldn't be simpler, it's also going to be sunny, and did I mention it's a tailwind, I promise.

See you guys tomorrow. I'm opting for shorts so I hope you're right about it being sunny!

As the weather changed back to winter & only a handfull turned up, we opted for a couple of laps of the Ballat/Croftamie/Smiddy circuit. app.strava.com/activities/56354209
