Just under 2 weeks to go now. Who’s going? What’s the plan? Who’s staying where? Are Dales coming up with a squad? I’m not riding but I’ll be up there to cheer folks on/take photos/get in the way.

GMBC on TV, tonight!
Hi folks, just heard from Barry that he’s been invited to appear on the Riverside Show tonight, on STV Glasgow, channel 23 on Freeview. Not sure exactly what time though. They’ll be showing our footage from the other week at Cathkin Braes (I assume). Set your digiboxes to record so you can have a giggle at some dodgy skillz. Hopefully it’ll be on STV player later to catch up with.
Tuesday 3/6 Ride
I’ll be heading out for a ride on Tuesday night (7pm), mulling over a ride to Lennox forest. Post up if you’re interested.
Ride Report: TV Filming At Cathkin
Just over a week ago, Stuart, Iain, Gary, Matt, Barry and myself headed out to Cathkin Braes to meet up with STV to be filmed riding the Commonwealth MTB track. Iain C did a great job using his knowledge of the trail to suggest where to film and Barry was on Go Pro duties.
- GoPro Hero
- Action!
- Can you tell me, does 650b really make the trails come alive?
Club Clothing Update
We had the club clothing launch at the hall last night and it was great to see so many old and new members up at the hall including a squad from Dales Cycles! Thanks to Dales Cycles for bringing along a ton of cake too! It seemed like the folks on both the Intro ride and Barry’s ride had a good time. Thanks to all who came along. For those who couldn’t make it here’s a wee summary of what was mentioned and what happens next:
- New Top Close Up
- Tops… 2 for a pound
- Club top model

Women Only: TV Advert Casting
Hi. In the latest in a series of TV filming opportunities, we’ve been contacted by a TV production company looking for women cyclists to appear in an advert for Clydesdale Bank. They would like to speak to anyone interested and get you in front of a camera. The casting director asked if you could wear your cycling gear and have your bike with you. It’s all very short notice as they would like to see people early next week so I’m trying to arrange some space up at the club hall on Mon, Tue or Wed evening next week for this. The work is paid and the dates can be found below. If you are interested then let me know ASAP either by posting up here or dropping me an email. Continue reading
