I took my bike up to Aberdeen with me and had a great time on this path. http://www.deesideway.org

My favourite point of the year so far going from Duthie Park near the centre of Aberdeen to Banchory. I wish I did more but if the weather holds out I may get the second leg done next week. Can't praise this run highly enough if you have never done it and you find yourself in the real North East.

January 1 point.

February 3 points

March 1 point (so far)

Another hard earned point tonight. I'll put the report in your ride today.

Total 6 points.

28-01-18 - 58.43 Km
11-02-18 - 52.91km

Total points so far 6 in this challenge.
