And that concludes this morning’s shipping forecast.
There will be a special ‘Farewell’ social ride on Sunday 29th September meeting at the NSC overflow car park (behind the QB Pub) at 9.00am.
The pace will be very social and will follow the railway lines through to St.Johns, 7 Gates track up to Archy then a lap through the trails at Archy then back towards the NSC (final route to yet be decided).
This special farewell ride is to wish a safe Bon Voyage to one of the flock who has secured a job in Perthshire, Scotland, and will thus be re-locating. All Loaghtan’s (or not) welcome young or old, lets get a good turn out for this.
