Signposted as 32 miles, to the wheel, but we went to carron sea lock. Actually very pleasant ! Slight tail wind, very few dugs, and lots of pleasant folk !Some of the ypoung peoples we had in tow were very, very inexperienced on bikes , as was evident by their choice of bum bags and puffa jackets ! Still they all did it, although theywere pretty knackered, and all said they would do it again !, just for fun ! 8 riders, only one puncture, and one chain off, the brand new sports shop bike, so no dramas ! several hundred pounds raised for strathcarron hospice. all good !<br /> BAD BIT ! if you decide to "organise " a sponsored event of any kind, then please be prepared to actually do it !!!! The person who "organised" this event was of on holiday ! gggrrrrrr. moan over,nice day!<br /> Scott </p>
