A great day out up a wild and blustery old kilpatricks hills yeasterday good call Gerry /Gav. The carvery did meet expectations Gerry..sure you’re not on commission.My rear hub trashed must have been the weight penalty after the carvery.Next time hopefully better weather.Still central heating via nips of 12yr old highland park pushed me through the worst..hicc…it’s the way forward.

ps// natures kiss recovery cream (£8.99 in all good bike shops) rubbed into tired legs absolute bliss(certainly beats the old method of a “rub doon wi a cauld pie”) ready to go at it again except rear wheel in evans for rebuild.

oops first didn’t go.

Merry Crimbo to you and yours from me and mine.

Back home now looking forward to some time on the bike,stepped off train in glasgow (mordor) more like.Crunching.slipping and sliding up path to house. Deep deep depression ,please tell me trails are rideable.

Has anyone been out locally or anyone heading tuesday/wednesday night???

heres some brief details of the mudguard I made.for Bill(or anyone else) to have a go at!! the lines are for cutting with a stanley knife.make sure enough is left for tyraping to the fork legs.poke holes appropriately for tyraps to go through.the curve bit goes to the rear of the fork.It cost nothing because you would be buying milk anyway(4pt).An added bonus which just dawned on me is that it could be used as an emergency tyre gaiter if you rip a tyre out in the wilds

hello folks

Should have a 24″ wheel hardtail mx24 mtb …ridgeback used but useable kids(suit upto about age 11/12??? bike going for sale. I got it off a club member(Iain) for the princely sum of a box of thorntons choccies.so it should be up for grabs soon for similar set up.If no one is interested then i’ll sell it on.I’m away for another tour of duty but back at the beginning of July.so anyone interested let me know.

I was at the mtb worldcup at the weekend and got talking to a guy who does snow/sand dune biking .He has a surly with enormous tyres and special wheels .Front has a single sprocket for swapping over in an emergency if freehub packs in.anyways he has a blog which is worth alook for the novelty factor if nowt else.
