Old Skool Pre-Christmas Ride Sunday

  By

While the trails have taken a battering of late, the weather for the weekend looks… well, better than what we’ve been riding in for the last few weeks.  So, any takers for an old classic format local jaunt this Sunday?  Set out from the sports club at 1000 GMBCT, lunch at Mugdock, and either go home afterwards or ride some more (I’ll be in the latter camp if I don’t snap any more bike parts).  Ride goes at the pace of whoever is hanging off the back, so probably me.

Open 5 Adventure Racing Series

  By ,

These are great. 5 hours, lots of checkpoints, mtb, run, route/effort is your choice.

This is a series of 6….see link: http://www.openadventure.com/open5/. The next race is the day after the Christmas party and is in N.Wales – No thanks! However, 10th Jan is at Bowland Forest. This is a get way to explore different areas. Think SMBO but with 400+ people. Enter as a solo 0r pairs (male/female/mixed). Prizes on offer but you will have to get you map reading and route finding skills up to speed.

Depending on interest I might try a book a dorm room out at a local hostel for us all to stay. Post up if interested – I’ll add it as an event.

15th November – Innerleithen uplift day

  By

A few of us have booked onto the Uplift day at Innerleithen. Book a place here: http://www.upliftscotland.com/

They normally manage to fit 9 runs into the day, on the Innerleithen Enduro trails (I suppose you could also do the dh trails too).  To give you an idea of how hard they are, I am pretty rubbish on descents but appear not to have died yet and have done a few of them on my hardtail.  That said, I will be riding a full suss,  wearing a full face helmet and body armour and will probably still walk bits of them!  I’m sure most of you would be better at them than I am, they are just steep, fast, natural, rooty. Fun though!

So far it’s me, Luke, Jonathan, Richard Hb and possibly Gary.
