I’ll be hacking around Mugdock (probably Dumgoyne loop) on the CX bike this afternoon from about 4 if anyone fancies it?

New Facility: using club funds to place deposits.
At the 2012 AGM, the committee proposed that a facility be created that would permit members to borrow club funds to place deposits and make up-front payments for trips, events and social activities in order to allow club members to organise events without being out of pocket.
This remains the case, and the committee are keen to encourage all members to arrange events and trips. We would however like to make everyone clear on the procedure for using club funds in this way. See Club Funding of Trip Deposits for outline of how this might work.
If anyone is thinking of organising a trip and would like to use club funds in this way, please drop one of the committee (preferably me) an email.
This is a work in progress and any feedback would be most welcome.
Ride on Sunday 24th?
Anyone fancy some sort of decent length MTB ride next Sunday? Either starting local and heading further afield, or a trip away?
The book that tells me what to do is at my folks’ house, and I’m crap at thinking for myself so any suggestions welcome.
Important: Hall Heating
I’ve just been informed that the hall electric heating was left on all night by either us or the yoga folks last Wednesday (13th).
It may have been left on by the yoga-ers and we’ve just not turned it off given we’re not the routine of switching it off. Either way, on leaving the hall please ensure the electric heating is turned off.
Else the hall might burn down and/or we’re contributing to anthropogenic global warming. Either way, we’re royally screwed.
Road Ride On Sunday to Aberfoyle?
A winter of not riding means I’m toiling for fitness, so I need to get my finger out. I’ll be doing this: http://www.gmbc.org.uk/event/sunday-road-ride/ on Sunday should anyone want to join me. Hopefully the weather will be OK – it looks like an improvement towards the end of the week. It can’t possibly be as bad as yesterday (Sunday)…
Other routes are available, so if you have a better idea I’m open to that.
Volunteers wanted for Hoy Velodrome – have fun, watch fast cyclists, feel smug.
Ex member David Hicks is looking for volunteers to help out at the Revolution Track Series at the Hoy velodrome next Sat.
It’s a sold out event so volunteering is the only way to see top teams and riders like Rapha Connor Sharp and Sky Pro Cycling. All volunteers will get a great view of the racing.
David needs responses by 5pm today! Email him: david(underscore)hicks(at)btinternet(dot)com
50% off 2012 bikes at Alpine for next 3 days
As the title. Doubt the bikes will hang around long!
Hall tonight/next few days.
Just a quick heads up for anyone using the hall tonight:
The hall boiler is on the blink. If heat is needed, there are electric fan heaters and the switchs for these are in the porch. The four on the right are the ones you need. They need switched off on exit too.
I’ll post up when the situation is resolved – hopefully soon seeing as the weather is perma-baltic these days.
Anybody riding tonight @7.45 (17/10)?
Weather looks proper minging tonight, but I’m bursting for a ride. Anyone else planning on being out?
Begging
I’m afraid this is a bit cheeky.
I doing Relentless on 6th October as a solo and it’s only just occured to me that it will be dark for 50% of the race – worse I don’t have enough battery power to last 12 hours.
So, I was wondering if I could borrow batteries…. I’ll pay in beer, cash, favours. I’ll come get ’em on the 5th and drop them off (fully charged!) on the 8th (Monday). All damage etc. paid for if course! Lights are magicshine MJ 808 – aka. Deal extreme ones that lots of people have.
This would be a great help – I think I’ll need three – so it would meen shelling out £100 plus for one use.
On a related note, anyone use/d Hope Vision 1 lights? Seem to be on offer some places.
