As some of you may know, I’m moving down to Sheffield for work next week. I’ve had a great time in Glasgow, and GMBC have been a big part of that.

Some stand out moments:

• Iain ‘demonstrating’ how to get over the boardwalk near Mugdock castle and promptly landing in the bog.
• Hours and hours spent in the Stables cafe when we should have been riding bikes.
• Descending in the Old Kilpatricks only to find that braking made you go faster.
• Big weekend rides – Great Glen Way & the Westie, and the tour de Cairngorm.
• Balmahooha – doing this on your birthday is a bad idea.
• The GMBC 25 weekend.
• The Selkirk Singletrack ride this Summer, you all owe it to yourself to try this at least once.

I could go on… *sniff*

Thanks everyone for all the good times. I’m sure I’ll be back up here with a bike soon, and make sure you give me a shout if you’re ever down in the Peak District.

Just a brief reminder…

If you’re on a club ride and come to a fork/junction, check for the riders behind you. If you can’t see them please wait until you can. This should stop anyone getting lost and mean that we don’t leave anyone behind if they have a mechanical or accident.

I’ve been as guilty as anyone for forgetting this, so thought it was time to highlight it again.

Toying with the idea of a CX bike and thought having a seat for my daughter (currently two and a half) would, err, help me sell the idea. Any suggestions on what seats to look at/avoid?
