Velodrome arrangements for this Sunday :

  By

The session starts at 4, so please aim to arrive by 345 latest. Enter reception on ground floor and at desk say you are on the GMBC Corporate session. I will be there by 330 and I will pay for us all, so don’t pay at the desk. Once past desk head left and downstairs to bike reception (there are changing rooms and lockers if you need before going downstairs, but most folk have their kit underneath and leave bags in the infield (centre bit in velodrome) ). Bike reception will have a list of names and shoes sizes/bike sizes etc. Pick up your kit and come up the steps to centre area where you can dump bag and have a practice riding round the concrete infield.

We are slightly oversubscribed at 18, however the coach says this is ok as some of us are accredited. On basis that there are 18 of us, it’s £9 a head, which I would ask you pay me before leaving !

So the confirmed names are : Continue reading

Club Velodrome Taster session, next Sun 10th @4pm – roll call update, and more people please…

The facts and figs first – it’s a 1 hr session, but plan to be there by 345pm. Bikes, helmets and shoes are included in the price of £10.70 per head. If you have a road helmet and Look Keo cleats you can wear your own, although it costs the same 🙂

No previous track experience is required. If you enjoy it you can use this session as your first of 4 levels of accreditation for the Velodrome, but only if you have a Glasgow Club card (which is free) Continue reading

New (to most of us) singletrack trails – 10k plus, and a Cafe !

I popped down this afternoon on the back of this thread on stw :

http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/trailbuilding-crawfurdland-fenwick-this-weekend

well impressed with the setup – over 10km of natural flowy singletrack, reminded me of Drumlanrig a bit.  Lots of work going on to stone up the soft bits.  Speaking with the guys who own the estate,, they are keen to encourage riding and would be delighted to show us around.  I’ll post up a Sun ride in a few weeks, and arrange with them to meet up.  Great wee Cafe too !

Velodrome taster session ?

  By

so there is  a bit of chat on the Facebook page about a Club taster session, and a fair number of members have been through the accreditation sessions and ‘have the ticket’.  There are Sunday slots for group bookings, so thinking we could get a slot maybe in March ? – this would probably need 15 people to commit.

I am happy to arrange and will speak to the Velo folk this week about what’s on offer/prices etc.  The drop in sessions and accreditations are around £10 for an hour, which includes bike, helmet (road style only allowed) and shoes (Look Keo), so I’d reckon we would be looking at around a tenner a head.

Post up if interested, and I’ll update on possible dates that suit the majority and are available.
