To mark the club's 50th birthday in 2021 we plan to have a birthday ride and then an evening curry night on the 2nd October.
Due to covid restrictions, the ride will be a normal Saturday club run, 2 distances (72 miles and 44 miles) and will split into groups. Would be great to get as many as possible in the new 50th anniversary top for a club photo before the start.
In the evening, Taza is booked for 7pm, please let Karen Knight know if you (and partner) plan to come as we will need to firm up the numbers with Taza.
The annual club Hill Climb Championship will take place on Saturday 18 September and is the Full Kilspindie climb. The plan is to meet at Invergowrie at 9:15am to roll out to the start.
