Vets First Ever Century Ride
Saturday 26th Septmember 2013 saw the Vets complete their first ever century ride.
The ride began & ended in the very picturesque Borders village of Paxton & was based on the Kelso Loop, one of four rides looping around the Scottish Borders. Wonderful riding country - if you've never been - GO!
8 o'clock saw a rather misty start to the ride, the stillness a good omen of the outstanding weather that was to come - dry, plenty of sun & light winds.
First stop Eyemouth for a picture.
Then into the hills near to the coast, fantastic scenery.

First pit stop, The Square at Duns, a third completed.
Could have been France!
Well on our way now, Hume Castle - not the first & wouldn't be the last castle we passed during the day.
100 miles completed, 7hours & 3 minutes of cycling, Union Bridge, Horncliffe.
We are all stood bang on the centre of the Border.
And then there was beer.........................
