Yes there is. I’m sure he’s a distant cousin of mine

Have become a wee fan of Claudia Winkleman recently - apparently in her house during December she's Santa Claud :xmas-big-grin:

Don't ask me how I know that.... .... ....

See you in a few months. Changing the bairns' cars to snow tyres this weekend then off to hibernate again.

One for the diary for next year, maybe of interest to those long distance types...

Hello fellow Randonneurs. I'm pleased to announce my first event Dee Lechtable is in the calendar for 18 April 2020. Starting at the Culter Village Hall just outside Aberdeen.
Reborn for 2020, this lumpy NE Scotland ride returns. The route starts steadily through Royal Deeside before heading into the Cairngorm mountains, taking in the classic climbs of Gairnshiel, The Lecht, The Cabrach and The Suie. A final gradual downhill run returns to Peterculter via Alford.2.25AAA points are on offer!

I seen this on the Audax Ecosse group last night. Sounds good.
Who's entering?

Although it's local to me it clashes with next year's Dirty Reiver event down in Kielder, so I'll probably give it a miss.

If anyone is interested in the Dirty Reiver "the UK's Premier Gravel event" then entries open on 1st December. I've done it the last few years, it's good fun, a good mix of bikes and abilities, easily doable on a retro-mtb too
