*** IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ***
Despite the earlier announcement, the convenor has looked at the level of the Cuddy again and with the water having dropped by a fair bit, it's now been decided that the Novice Ride WILL ford the Cuddy at March Street tonight. — feeling happy

The route will therefore continue down Edinburgh Road then into March Street, and then join the normal route.
