Cycle Speedway Taster Session

  By

Hi.  I was contacted by Andy at Glasgow Cycle Speedway to publicise a taster session they’re putting on this Sunday.  I think Andy’s on our Facebook group so you can contact him there or find a few more details at the event I’ve posted.  I’ll be away in Aviemore this weekend (see the Aviemore event in the calendar) but if you’re in Glasgow and fancy something different then maybe contact Andy and head along.  Hopefully there will be more chances later in the year if you can’t make this one.

Aviemore Weekend Away – This Weekend

  By

On last night’s ride Dawn, Tom and myself were mulling over a trip away this weekend.  The plan would be to leave Glasgow on Saturday morning, get some riding done, overnight in a hostel and bit more riding on Sunday.  The location would probably depend on what the weather at the weekend is doing but at the moment we’re thinking of Aviemore.

Are there any other takers for a spontaneous away ride this weekend?  If so, shout up and we’ll sort out logistics/trails etc.

Notice To Wednesday Night Riders

  By

Watch out for glass in the car park at the club hall!  Also, the tea urn in the kitchen isn’t working so you may struggle to get hot water (unless you bring a kettle with you – which I resorted to tonight!).  We’ll sort out a kettle as soon as we can.  You could always sample the bar……

Tuesday Ride?

  By

Hi.  The forecast is for snow & sleet on Tuesday night.  If you fancy getting out in that sort of weather then I’ll be in the car park for 7pm.

Tuesday Ride?

  By

Hi – who’s up for a ride this Tuesday then?  If you fancy it then I’ll see you up at the hall for 7pm.  Usual rules apply: no helmet no ride, bring lights, last one back washes the mugs…..

…..OK, might’ve made up that last one. 🙂

Hi.  If you wanted a wee reminder of the soaking and socialising you got last weekend then here’s a few photos:

Tuesday Ride Report

  By

So, we had the first Tuesday night ride out of the new hall last night. I wondered how many riders we’d get after the heavy afternoon rain so congratulations to the 4 hardy riders that turned up for a scoot around the trails in the dark (Graeme B, Fraser, Helen and  Costa Del Graeme).  Special mention goes to Fraser and Helen whose first night rides it was too!  We stayed on the fairly hard surfaced stuff for the ride but there were some huge puddles and soaked feet by the time we got back to the hall but there seemed to be smiles all round too!

Tuesday Ride

Hi.  Forecast looks wet for tomorrow but I’m going to head up anyway (ever the optimist).  Anyone else coming along?  We have a new rider who is planning on joining us.  If you have a spare set of lights then please email me or post up here.  Thanks.  7pm at the new hall if you’re coming along.

3 More Bunkhouse Spaces For Balmaha

  By

Hi Folks – we had filled the bunkhouse but following some reoom re-planning we have freed up 3 spaces in the bunkhouse.  As space is now at a premium priority for these spaces will go to members who have paid their membership fees for 2014.  If, however, you haven’t paid up for 2014 I can add you to a waiting list in the interests of filling the dorm and the general principle of “the-more-the-merrier”. So, if you’re interested get your name down sharpish!

The price for a dorm room will be £15 which includes a pretty darned good breakfast on the Sunday.  You can either email me your interest (infoATgmbcDOTorgDOTuk) or, ideally, add it on to the original post so we have it all in one place, here:
