Hi Folks – we have a rider wanting to join us tomorrow but she needs to borrow a light – can anyone who’s coming tomorrow bring a charged spare light at all? It needs to last approx 2.5hours. If you have a spare light please can you post up here. Thanks.
Hi – decided to head down to Drumlanrig tomorrow, more details:
Heading out tomorrow night. Looks like another dry and crispy one – do you fancy it? Post up! Details:

I’ll be out tonight (7pm) in case anyone fancies a local ride. Details:
Following the great effort last spring I’ve spoken to the Mugdock Ranger and we’ve arranged 3 dates during Spring to some more much needed trail maintenance. It’s a great chance to learn some new skills and put something back into an area that we get a lot of enjoyment out of. Mountain bikers are one of the few groups to actively volunteer their time in this way and it’s greatly appreciated by the Rangers.
Please take a look at the dates below and post up if you’d like to help out.
NB: sessions typically run from 10am to 3pm, if you have tools then great, if not then we should be able to supply some
If you don’t fancy the road ride and couldn’t make it up to Perthshire today then here’s another option for you. I’ve not been out much recently so it won’t be fast, focus definitely on relaxed and sociable.
Details below:
Hi. The weather looks alright tomorrow night so I’m heading up to Milngavie for a ride. Usual 7pm start. Anyone else heading along?
Update from Dawn:
Hi all,
Just wanted to confirm meeting times for the 19th January.
You will need to be at Bullands Coffee Shop no later than 10:20am on Saturday morning. The taxi will be arriving at 1030am to pick up the luggage. He is expecting to pick up approximately 20 odd bags so I’ve put in a request for an Estate car. If you’re no there for 1030am then you’ll be pedaling yer own luggage to Balmaha and over Conic Hill, so best no be late 🙂 The luggage will be taken into the Oak Tree and they will stow it in a safe place for collection when we arrive nice n muddy later on.

Dene has added this event to the calendar for the end of June. It takes place in the French/Swiss Alps and is an 80km-ish circuit starting from 1 of any 9 bases on any of 3 days that you choose. The vibe seems to be chilled out and aimed at enjoyment and experiencing the area (i.e. it’s not really a race, probably more akin to the Merida/mountain marathons). I don’t think you can sign up for the event until February.
Is there anyone else out there who is interested in doing this? I’ll be investigating flight & accommodation options over the holidays so if you’re interested then post up and I’ll get in touch about the details.
An Alpine ride with Dene & Kev? What could possibly go wrong* ??!?!? 😉
