New Beginner Rides this Wednesday 4th May

  By

Hello boys & girls,

Just a wee reminder that this Wednesday is the start of our Beginner Rides.  As it says on the tin, it’s all about teaching folk the fundamentals of mountain biking.  They start at 7pm from the club car park and will last approx 2hrs.

I asked this before but if anyone would like to volunteer their time and experience to help us make this a success it would be much appreciated.  We should be running these rides every week for the duration of the summer/lighter nights, so please don’t all rush in at once;-)

It’s a great start to promote this to friends & family, so I’ll be bringing along my girlfriend this week and I should have a few friends attending within the next few weeks too.

Please leave a comment if your looking to attend or volunteer your assistance.

All the best, Barry (on behalf of the commitee)

Thursday Road Ride???

  By

Hi,

What’s the plan for tonights road ride?  Is it a local, meeting at the club car park at 6.30pm or a southside ride?

Please can we have a show of hands, as my plan was to head to the club car park and I’d prefer not to ride on my own if everyone is heading south  side.

Thanks

Barry

Scottish Bike Show at SECC Sat 16th/Sun 17th April

  By ,

Hello Peeps,

I know this is very short notice, but we have managed to secure a spot on the Alpine Stand at this weekends first Scottish Bike Show.

We are looking for a handfull of fellow club members to volunteer some of their time (4hrs approx) by helping out on the stand.

The aim is to promote the club and it’s fantastic benefits, increase the number of club members, inform visitors that all other clubs are inferior and to promote our new ‘Beginner Rides’ starting Wednesday 4th of May (volunteers needed for that too!)

We’ll have flyers available to hand out and posters up on the stand to promote this. It’d be great if the volunteers could also wear any GMBC apparel to emphasize this.

It’ll be a free entry to the volunteers, I’m pretty sure it’s £7.50 per person, if folk just want to attend. From the committee members, we’re able to cover the Saturday morning slot, I’ll probably be around for most of the day too. We are restricted to 2 passes, and my thoughts were to have 2 folk in the morning slot and 2 in the afternoon, allowing us a continued presence and it would only require part of your day.

For the folk that wish to attend, please remember that the car park will charge around £4 (the committee will reimburse this to volunteers).  Alpine have told us that if you wish to cycle in, there will be space to store your bikes at the rear of the stand.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, or even popping along to say hello whilst you maybe visiting. If you are free to assist, please let me know which day and what time.

Thank you very much
