On your bike
Above are the hardy souls on the Spring Fling bike ride on the first day of Spring Fling. There were 17, inc myself, from the KM rally at Barnsoul. There would have been at least 6 or 12 more if the weather had been kinder. Much interest from the Rally folk; the weekend organiser even cancelled his own ride to come with us.
Visited Rodney Holland (27), Ruth Jones (25), Silvana McClean (24), Robert Leighton (28) and finished with Jason Shackleton and Lucianne Lassalle (29). About 35 miles Barnsoul back to Barnsoul. Packed the The Green Tea Room (Moniave) for lunch - too cold for the tables outside unfortunately. Much favourable comment especially Rodney Hollands's inpressive long wooden chain. On a bike you don't tend to buy much on the day (especially chain saw carvings!) but many took cards & notes for a return 'visit'.
We (the local CTC Group) have organised this SF ride for the past 2 years; last year Eskdale and the one before around Dalbeattie, Palnackie & Rhonehouse. Numbers this year were greatly boosted by attendees from the KM Barnsoul rally, but with publicity we could get more out locally.
It was a good day, despite the poor weather.
