Hi Folks,

Just a quick note to let you know that the website login problems have been resolved!   The site should allow you to get logged back in and post rides, stories, ride reports and get access to a list of club members to join for bike rides.  You can also upload photos to our Flickr account.  See the Help section on the website for, errr, help.

If you’re a new club member reading this and you weren’t set up with a login to the webpage because of the access problems then don’t worry as we’ll be setting you up with access in the next few days.  Also, if you’re returning to the webpage after the downtime and need a reminder of your login and want your password reset then drop an email to membership[AT]gmbc[DOT]org[DOT]uk

Happy posting!

Lakes trip last weekend

  By ,

Me, Sanny and Kev headed down to The Lakes for a cracking day of riding. Note to self – when Sanny says wee hill he means anything less than 1000 feet.

6 1/2 hours in the saddle, 4500 feet of climbing and 25 miles of fun on a pretty much dryish and sunny day. Most of The Borrowdale Bash with extra gnarl was the choice for the day, much recommended.

Here’s a wee film, enjoy –

Skills course – Thursday 25th April – 1 place left

  By

Hi folks,

myself and my riding buddy Robin have booked a day with the bearded legend, Ed Oxley, on Thursday 25th of April. There is one space left if anyone else fancies it. The course is called ‘jumping for dads’ and is self explanatory, taking place at Gisburn forest in Lancashire. Not sure whether we’ll be staying over the night before, or heading off super early, but there would be space in the car, and we’d be heading through Glasgow from the shire. It’s £80, post up if anyone fancies it.

cheers, Greg.
