Local Ride starting at Peterculter
Distance: 35km
Neeps Fitness: medium
Neeps technical Grading : Easy
Route Direction: We did it Anticlockwise, but direction not that important.


Eight of us (3 lassies and five laddies) started the route at Peterculter Heritage Centre at 9.45am. We used forest trails and farm roads to reach Blacktop. Once through the forest we used tarmac roads to reach the bottom of Brimmond Hill. The steep track up Brimmond hill was a challenge but the views at the top were worth it. We cycled north off Brimmond Hill down to Tyrebagger and got our packed lunches out next to the sculptures. Taking a different route back we arrived at Peterculter heritage centre for tea and cakes at 2.00pm. Even though we were fairly dirty, we had no problem getting into the hall. Tea and home made cakes were cheap and service was with a smile !


Climbing to the top of Brimmond Hill. Some great views overlooking the hills to the west and the sea to the east.


Through the forest getting out of Peterculter.


Does anyone know what this is? We thought it was a bus stop for children.
