Can’t make it on Sunday but itching to get out on the bike. Does anyone fancy heading out on Monday?

Don’t mind where, so feel free to suggest a route.

Hello Folks

My son works in Evans cycles at weekends and told me they have launched a series of technical maintenance videos on you tube. Everything from flat tyre to suspension problems. I’ve had a wee flick through and it looks quite good. See what you think:

Another corker last night, with not a speck of mud, just dust everywhere.  Again a poorly attended ride, with only 6 of us out, I guess everyone else was getting their Tiaras ready for tomorrow -)

As the singletrack was so lovely we decided against Loch Ardinning and stuck to the techy stuff, which was riding as well as it ever does in the height of summer, but without the midges.  Best ride of the year so far !!

A wee reminder for those venturing to the dusty Island of Arran tomorrow – Ardrossan for back of 9 to get tickets and board ferry for 0940 departure – bring lots of water and food as we are off the beaten track most of the day, and sun cream -)

Iwill be out at Milngavie for 6.30

for those of us with young kids this could be a laugh :

I have signed up for it with my 8yr old.  Would be good to see a few GMBC tops there !

hello folks

not a bike story but still relevent.I went a walk with my missus and our youngest along the mentieths route on friday (brilliant riding weather /conditions).Anyway on the return i spotted an adder on the path and managed a few shots with the camera before it moved off and devoured a full grown stag antlers and all.This was good going for me as i am S%^t scared of snakes (Dawn….cows read me and snakes).once in the dead dry braken it was almost invisible so tread /fall off your bike carefully.

ps// I have uploaded too many pics the same how the hell do I get rid of the unwanted ones.

Hi,

What’s the plan for tonights road ride?  Is it a local, meeting at the club car park at 6.30pm or a southside ride?

Please can we have a show of hands, as my plan was to head to the club car park and I’d prefer not to ride on my own if everyone is heading south  side.

Thanks

Barry

I have a few hrs free tomorrow am, so am planning on a local ride, heading out from the club car park at 9, if anyone is up for it ?  3-4 hrs incl coffee stop at Cafe !  so back to car park by 1pm.  cheers
