Tuesday 4th of December.

Not exactly sure of the precise route but it's the Angus Coastal route from Dundee passed the amazing new V&A building on through the docks (which annoyingly is closed to cyclists until January 19) to Broughty Ferry and passed the golf courses of Carnoustie. No loop this time, just there and back for a pan flat 34 miles and more than likely my last point of the year.

23 Points

For reasons best explained in the chat thread, this was another route I wasn't sure where I was for much of it as I was following others but it was farm roads to Neilston then more back roads towards Newton Mearns then a reasonably straightforward run down to Stewarton before turning back on ourselves at Dunlop completing a figure eight heading for home across the hill road.

24 Points.
