Shoot the breeze here.
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.
Many thanks to everyone who made it along to our club-night yesterday, I know that Graeme and Charlie were pleased with the turnout and I saw Graeme signing more than 1 of his books! Hopefully we’ll be able to get him back after the event in September!
Thanks, Jon.
We have been offered 2 free tickets for members of the club to attend, as guests of Scottish Cycling, the UCI Junior World Championships, at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome, on the evening of Saturday 10th August.
We need to respond by the 9th of August with names of those attending. I would ask any club member interested to add his or her name to this post by way of a comment (on the GMBC WordPress site only). Closing date for those interested will be 12:00 noon on the 6th August. This will allow a draw to be carried out after the Tuesday 6th club ride.
There is also an opportunity for us to request additional tickets, although there is no indication of how many we might get. At this point we are tending towards requesting an additional 6 although we suspect we might not get this many. We will therefore draw 8 names (assuming we get 8 names). The first two would be those who get the two confirmed tickets with 3 – 8 being recorded in order so that if we only get one additional ticket it would go to the 3rd name drawn etc.
Time is short, so get your names down.
Folks try uber bikes for B/B and lock ons chain rings etc real class stuff and also moove components for flat pedals grips etc the same as super star nano techs but only £39
Bit of a stab in the dark but needing a new outer chainring. It’s a 39t 10spd with a 4 bolt 120bcd. These seem to be like hens teeth and online prices, even in Germany, are around £55. Yes.. £55 for a chainring. Anybody any thoughts on a possible stockist. I’ve tried Alpine.
At the moment the alternative seems to be converting to a XT 2×10 chainset which I can get at a pretty reasonable price with future chainring prices a bit lower and with better supply.
Cheers,
Stuart
Hey,
Does anyone in the club have access to a Garmin 510?
If yes & willing to loan (or spend half a day riding trails at Carron Valley) please get in touch. Required for a small part of my Msc project.
Thanks,

I picked up some stuff that was left from the BBQ. Baking Tray (Luke?), Utensils (Graeme?). Give me a shout and I can drop off in Lnz/Kirki. Great night, thanks to those who came along.
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?
Looking at the members list at lunchtime – do we really only have 41 paid up members at this stage of the year ? disappointing if the case, especially given the keyboard activity on here and FB……
.
The summer BBQ is fast approaching. All club members, their partners and children all welcome to come along for some burgers, chat and midges sunshine. Please post up here, on fb or email if you are coming along to help me get the right supplies in. I’ll sort out burgers and some other goodies but it would be great if folk could bring some of their own creations to share as well.
See you next week! Anyone want to organise a pre-bbq ride?
Tom
