The 1st planting of the year so a flat ride out to Styx Mill was on. Bugs and I set off from mine at 8.40 and arrived at Phatboys at 8.55. Shortly after Dozer arrived and the 4 of us headed down Avonside Dr onto Kilmore and along here to Hagley Park. Took the pathways through the park avoiding the runners from Shr Chimnoy run as we went. Into Kilmarnock and arrived at the cycle way just ahead of Tinkerbell and the Silverfox. Straight down the cycleway we went with only one wee incident to remember. We crossed the road and a couple of slooooowww riders were ahead of us on the crossing. Phatboy got past and I thought I would get past too. A woman cyclist heading towards us did not faze me and I snuck through. Scared all the slow riders and words that are just too rude to come out of their mouths followed. From here we rode on and due to being early we stopped for a drink at the Cosy Cafe. Onwards through the reserve to the planting we went. After the planting and the obligatory sausage or 3 we returned homewards. The usual sprints on the homeward track occured and at Kilmarnock The Fox and Tinks departed. The rest of us headed back through Hagley trying to avoid the runners only to get hung up in traffic breifly then down Armagh St to Linwood Ave. Here we separated with me stopping to book airline tickets with Phatboy. Then home. Good ride. For some 37km others about 40kms.
