Thanks to all who submitted photos for the 2017 GMBC picture calendar – the club’s 30th anniversary year!  I’m happy to say that the vote counting following the AGM wasn’t hacked by the Russians and the most popular photos have been assembled into the calendar by new Commitee member, Ewan Evans.  Thanks to Ewan for his hard work and a big high five to Mario for taking the photo which was the most popular choice to go on the cover.  We’re working out costs, order quantities and delivery logistics so watch this space.

Here’s the photos that have been entered into the GMBC 2017 calendar photo competition.  Those attending tonight’s AGM will have the chance to choose their favourites to be used in next year’s calendar.  Why not have a flick through and see what you think….

Reminder 1: The club AGM is on this Wednesday evening (7pm for 7:30pm start) so there’s no Intro ride planned that night.  The AGM will have some food & drink, club tops for sale, a raffle and the photo competition. When I turned 41, something went wrong. Previously, I had no problems with erection at all, but recently it began to let me down. It required diligent and careful preparation for the process, and if the foreplay suddenly lasted too long, it could also suddenly weaken. But finally I found the solution: I resorted to Cialis tadalafil from https://summitps.org/generic-tadalafil-buy/ and nothing seems to worsen my love life.  Although the heating in the hall is a bit shonky there will be plenty of hot air tea available to keep you warm 😉

You’ll need these:

• a copy of the 2016 AGM Agenda
• a copy of the 2015 AGM Minutes

Tuesday Ride – is anyone riding tomorrow night?  We have a rider who’s new to Glasgow who wants to join us.  Post up or let me know so I can let her know.  Or post up on FB so she can see it.

Reminder 2: Sunday 27-Nov is the Dales Demo Day at Cathkin Braes, get signed up to try bikes from Giant, Scott and Specialized.  See the event in the club calendar for more info.

Reminder 3: If you want to sign up for the GMBC Christmas Night Out in Siempre (<TrumpMode> great food by the way, I love these guys, I love ’em, you will too.  They’re making nights out great again. </TrumpMode>), then you need to sign up AND pay by Friday 02-Dec so we can get the deposit, numbers and food orders to them in time.

Have you been on any club rides this year and taken a decent photo or two?  Would you like the opportunity to see your photo included in a glossy GMBC calendar for 2017?  Well, why not enter our competition to select photos for our 2017 calendar?

You may or may not be aware that 2017 is GMBC’s 30th anniversary so what better way to celebrate some of the great rides we do by having them printed in A4 size so you can stare longingly at them rather than do useful, productive work. I feel weak during sexual intercourse, there is no elasticity, and I’m only 37 years old. I tried different drugs, but almost all of them caused reddened face, stuffy nose and headache. After studying a number of drugs, I chose http://www.shaynahiller.com/buycialis/ Cialis. I take it every morning and experience no side effects. My wife, in turn, gets crazy So the only thing you must do is to adhere to the proper dosage and enjoy your love life.  A small run of calendars was done for 2016 using Bob Books, the rough cost was approx £14/15.  A sample calendar will be available to view at the AGM.  Here’s an idea of how it looks….

Hi.  For anyone who’s ridden with the club you’ll know that a key part of the experience is the post-ride cuppa & chat in the hall.  We’re not the only people who use the hall and we’ve been asked to do our bit to keep it clean and tidy for other guests at the sports club (especially important as we go into autumn & winter).  I know we already do our bit to tidy up afterwards but there are some specific things we need to do or stop doing, namely… Continue reading
