Dumyat/Mine Woods – Wednesday 17th June

Hi All,

So, to make the most of the long evenings before it starts to turn, i am adding another summer club classic to the calender.

Ride will be suitable to all as it can be varied depending who comes, but it will be a good mixture of trails including some techy stuff. A good chance for some of the newer members to try something different too.

Ready to ride time is 7.15pm, meeting in the Co-Op car park, -12 Fountain Road, Bridge of Allan, Stirling FK9 4ET

Instead of biscuits, there is an option to have a wee pint/half at the local micro brewery too!

will add to the callender too…..

 

Ardgarten Loop Sunday 14th June?

This is a great loop if decent weather, so posting up to see who’d be up for it, if it stays settled.  Starts and finishes Ardgarten car park, it’s ideal for cx bikes or HT’s and here’s the route :

https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/328640342

With a group it’s probably 4 hrs away from the car park, incl a food stop.  There is nowhere to buy food , so need to be self sufficient.  Ride depart at 0930 sharp

Any Local Rides This Weekend?

Hi, is anyone riding locally this weekend, possibly Sunday? I’m asking because there’s a visitor from the US (Mitch) who’s asking if he can join us this weekend. I’m busy so won’t be out locally but if you’re riding please can you let me know and I’ll put you in touch with Mitch, if he hasn’t already joined up on Facebook. I’ve given him a few options for renting bikes locally, including Dales Cycles. Hope the friendly GMBC massive can help out. Thanks.

BBQ and Demo day Cancelled – I’m sorry!

Hi Guys! Unfortunately I have to cancel Saturday BBQ. I apologize It’s 100% my fault. I didn’t organize this properly but I promise I’ll do better next time. I’ll be attending next commitee meeting to discus and organize everything in proper way. I’m still planning to ride on Saturday morning if anyone fancy. Please let me know what time would be best for those who can show up! Apologize one more time.

If you have any questions please feel free to drop me an email at wojtek@dalescycles.com or call me after 6pm – 07840868217

Cheers

GMBC Team Kit Store NOW OPEN

ROLL UP, ROLL UP

The GMBC Team Store is now open and taking club jersey orders.

Link to the store is:

https://teamstore.pactimo.com/stores/select

The password is:

You will all have had the chance to try on the kit so should know your sizes. I will be at the club post ride tonight (Tues) and also intend to ride tomorrow (Wed). I will have the kit with me for anyone who hasn’t tried the kit yet or who wants to double check sizes.

You will no doubt notice the Team Store closing date of 10th of May. I have previously discussed this with Pactimo who have noted that they can extend the opening period to 10 days. I believe the 5 day period is their default and shown at this time because the store has just opened. I believe that this will be altered by Pactimo shortly.
