We had to split our bunch and the leader of the main bunch took a wrong turn on the gateside road and ended up in Beith. This meant none of us rode the Bridesmill road. Other than that course fine: just stuff we know. A bit rutted along the bottom of the Barrmill circuit and also a bit rough before the 30 sign at Howwood down the Bowfield.
