The Dundee Thistle reliability rides will this year start from the Millenium Hall in Birkhill. The strip will be open from 9am for registration. This year we have kept the same routes (pretty much) as last year. Instead of touring the Tay, they will head out over Tullybaccart to Kinclaven, Bankfoot, Caputh and Blairgowrie with the longer route taking a diversion through Luncarty and Little Glenshee. The shorter route will head from Kinclaven via Meiklour to Blairgowrie.

All three rides will follow the same route until Kinclaven. The two longer rides will cross the Tay and split with the longer ride heading south to Luncarty. They will then merge again at the Murthly estate and follow a route back via Blairgowrie, Coupar Angus and Newtyle to Dundee. The shorter route will head up to Meiklour and back to Coupar Angus to join the same route to the finish. The Hall will close at 3pm - please contact the club on the phone numbers provided if you are substantially delayed on the ride. It is anticipated that all three rides will return to the hall between 1.30-2pm.

Hot and cold refreshments will be available after the ride at the Millenium Hall. A charge of £5 per rider will be levied to cover hall hire and refreshments.

These are reliability rides. You are expected to familiarise yourselves with the route beforehand. It will not be signed or marshalled. You are expected to ensure that you and your bike are in a fit condition to complete the ride. There is no support vehicle or service provided.
