The Sunday Club run took nine members north east to Dollar/Glendevon, through Gleneagles to Crieff before returning via Loch Earn and Callendar. In total a journey of 114 miles and a super big day in the saddle!

Twelve other members took part in the ‘3 Pistes Challenge’ a sportive race that started in Pitlochry and finished in Aviemore. This ride took in all three climbs to the main ski centres Glenshee, The Lecht and Cairngorm for a whopping 9000ft of climbing over a total of 102 miles.

We’re used to climbing hills in the Kilsyth and Cumbernauld area but with gradients up to 25 per cent the mountain roads in the Cairngorms are a different proposition!

It’s safe to say that RCCK members slept soundly on Sunday evening!

The next club run is on Sunday, June 8 leaving Broadwood Stadium at 8.30am. Non-members welcome provided they contact the club firstly by email. The address is [email protected].
