Ben Lawers Massif – 7 munros , 3 riders, 1 brilliant day

  By

Hi folks

Ride report to follow but below are a few pics from the epic that was the Ben Lawers massif on Sunday ridden by Donald, Captain Mainwaring and myself. Suffice to say it was an absolute cracker of a day out. Definitely not one for those whose tastes don’t extend to hikey bikey but the descents were outstanding and worth the effort to get to.

Cheers

Kilbo Path and Jocks Road – biking the munros

Riding in Scotland means that you either accept whatever the weather throws at you or you become an amateur meteorologist, MWIS being your go to reference and are ready to chase the sun even if it means a loooong drive for a day ride. Having mates who are happy to do the same at the drop of a hat (or SMS text as seems to be what da kidz are doing these days) helps as does a willingness to shoulder bikes for an hour or two in the on-going quest to find the best trails. With a promising weather forecast for the north east of the country, Marky Mark and I found ourselves leaving Glasgow at an altogether ungodly hour on Sunday heading for Glen Clova north of Dundee. Meeting up with Shearer at 10 sharp (GCMB riders in on time shocker!) at the head of the Glen, the sun was out and the skies were blue. Things were looking good. Continue reading

Ride tonight?

  By

Good weather? Check!
Dry trails? Check!
Chocolate biscuits? Errr, check?

So who’s up for a spin tonight? As the good weather is set to hold, perhaps a wee Whangie or Auchengillan raid might be in order?

Cheers

Well that was a wee bit chilly!

…as the ten of us headed out last night for what proved to be an excellent ride out on the frozen trails round Loch Ardinning. You know you’re onto a cold one when mud is freezing to your frame, your jockey wheels start growing in size and you contemplate peeing on your hub. Despite the temperature hovering around minus 4, the still night air only felt cold when we stopped to wait for folk to catch up.

There is now a supply of Club’s finest biscuits (sorry but we ate most of the Orange ones) in the cupboard for next week though whoever bought the bourbons and the plain milk biscuits, what were you thinking!?!!!?!? They’re always the last to go out of the biscuit tin and even then only out of desperation. Does anyone actually like Bourbons? Yeuch!

If you’re planning on heading out tonight, the trails will still be pretty hard packed and running fast. There’s very little ice to speak of so should make for a fast blast out. Heck, even the top trail of the Whangie might be fun!
