Get on your bike.
Apologies if you took that the wrong way. We weren’t being rude. That, you see, was what a lot of people did in Highland Perthshire on Sunday.
In fact, no fewer than 5,250 people got on their bikes for the annual Etape Caledonia. As well as being a terrific spectacle the event raises a not inconsiderable sum for charity.
For a whole heap of pictures of the event and tales of derring do including a new women’s record (by a Kirriemuir lass) and former Tour de France athlete Chris Boardman’s ride see tomorrow’s Courier.
But that’s not all that makes the paper an essential read. Oh no. We have tales of wind farms, drug wars, renewable jobs or a lack thereof and a story about what might be the biggest bargain in Scottish property and it’s on your doorstep.
(I should point out here that it’s still rather expensive and it’s only on your doorstep if you live at or very near Gleneagles. But still interesting nonetheless).
Saturday was a sad occasion for the people of St Andrews as they bid farewell to the staff at RAF Leuchars who have been such splendid company for the last 100 years or so. Stirring stuff.
Doubtless some of you will be voting Yes in September’s independence referendum. And doubtless others will be voting no.
We here at The Courier haven’t made up our minds yet. But one couple has. Oh yes. So much so that they’re pouring £2.5 million of their own money into the cause.
If you aren’t wallowing in quite that much cash (this couple won £161 million on the Lottery) then you might be interested in our competition. There’s £500 of Dobbies garden vouchers to be won.
Not enough to pay for a potentially game-changing contribution to the future direction of Scotland’s sovereignty I’ll grant you. But plenty for a few begonias and some climbing creepers. Perhaps even a fruit tree.
As well as the sport of cycling we’ll have a terrific spread on the 3,000 fans who turned out to cheer Dundee heroes on their SPFL success.
We’ll also have full coverage of the weekend’s Premiership action.
If you want to enjoy every last one of these tales, please to pick up Monday’s Courier. Alternatively (and I quite literally never get tired of asking this question) why not try try our digital edition.
