WezBrew says hats off to Tony for travelling the tortuous route in the colds of Scotland's summer. Here is the plucky travellers diary, be proud, be Strong for TURBO CIDER is for real MEN, like TONY! TONY the god of Rider Cider!
Tony's diary...
Day 1. Tony set off at 11am on Wednesday 18th July from Glasgow city centre, a man with a thirst a man who needed to get to ciders-ville. Day 1 Tony travelled through Aberfoyle, Calandar, Strathyre and Killin before finally reaching his day one resting place Aberfeldy some 98.3 miles into the journey, an impressive 1st days cycling, being strong, Tony did not drink any Turbo Cider that night, instead he ingested commercial alcohol, for which he had spent many months training his body to accept.
Day 2. The Hills have eye's. With visibilty down to only 50ft Tony continued toward the cousin who is the "apple juice fermentor". Tony battled through the mist and fog over the Glenfihee mountains and down into Braemar some 58 miles completed on day 2. Again no Turbo for Tony who tells us that he had a quiet night that he "Cann-ne remember" at the local watering hole.
Day 3. Turbo Bound. With the Tony taste bud's tingling focus for the day was on the cider capital of Great Britain, Aberdeen! Tony's steed had served him well until disaster struck at Ballater when both of the disk brakes on his bike failed! Most men in this position would have thrown in the towel, turned away, crumpled, become boys or been emotionaly shattered. Tony, with thoughts of small crystal bubbles rising from the bottom of a glass of 'Turbo' searched for the answer and found it in the form of a gift of nature, a small twig saved the day, using the twig against a front brake caliper Tony got on the road again. Battling headwinds Tony finally made it on day 3 after a 58 mile day a total of 222.3 miles at the cider house!
God bless you Tony!
Here he is....
