Pete, Sanny and I are planning on doing 5 Ferries this Sun, 24th, riding from Wemyss Bay Station 0730 sharp for 945 ferry from Ardrossan. Last minute but were waiting for a good forecast.
So post up here or on FB if you fancy it. Road bikes required and an average pace of 15mph. Its about 65-70 miles, with brekkie on first ferry and sandwiches from Co-op in Tarbert for lunch. Bring snacks and bottles though ! If al goes to plan ferry back to Wemyss bay gets in 6ish
Anyone out there selling a 24″ boys bike? Preferably rigid. . . ..
Cheers, Simon
7 Day Shop are selling the Cree T6 bike light for only £21.99 + £1.99 P+P. Usually delivered within 2 days rather that 3-4 weeks from DealExtreme!
Rather a narrow beam so helmet mount is best. I cut the elastic off the head mount and cable tie it to top of helmet. Tiny and lightweight battery easily gives 3 hours burn time on low setting! The cable is long enough to reach a jersey back pocket.

Hi folks. There’s been a request from the hall that we do not use the main car park closest to the hockey pitches, the one with the bike wash. So if you’re doing a local ride tomorrow (or any night from now on) please bear this in mind. The other parking areas are fine to use although there has been some space put aside temporarily to accommodate Commonwealth Games visitors so the overflow car park maybe be busier than usual.
Stab in the dark here. I’ve bought a set of Elixer 3 brakes off Ebay for the bike I’m building up for my daughter. They have however, come with the matchmaker clamps which are incompatible with the shifters I have. I know plenty have had Elixers but have swapped them for something else. I was wondering if anybody would like to swap their standard clamps for the matchmakers that I have. Alternatively I would be happy to buy the clamps.

As some of you may know this Wednesday (16th) is my 22nd birthday & it’s also the day I am cycling 100 miles from Old Kilpatrick to the top of Dundee Law. 100 Miles, 1 Day, 1 Bike… My Voodoo Bizango you have seen me out on the trails with & on tv 😉
The ride is to raise funds & awareness for the Charity Little Hearts Matter. This Charity support families of children born with Single Ventrical Hearts.
Please checkout their website: www.lhm.org.uk
This is also a memorial thing for me as a close friend of ours lost her Daughter to Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrom (known as HLHS) at only seven and a half weeks.
Clydebank post done a write up on the ride, you can read the story here: http://www.clydebankpost.co.uk/news/roundup/articles/2014/06/09/500196-dad-to-take-on-100-mile-charity-ride-/
We have a justgiving page at www.justgiving.com/BonnieBubbles
We also have sponsors forms and LHM Badges for sale at £1 to raise extra funds, please email or facebook message me if you want to sponsor the ride, email or comment for badge requests or any more info.
Thanks for taking the time to read this, all & any support is greatly appreciated & helps so many people.

Hi,
The BBQ is happening tonight – the forecast doesn’t look great but the BBQ site has covered area and if the worst comes to worst I buy some of these to stick in the burgers:
See you later,

Hi,
There are three remaining places in the bunkhouse for the Arran trip on the 12th of September (calender link).
The bunkhouse is really comfortable and spacious so grab yourself a slice of luxury biking accomodation for only £36 for the weekend.
These places need to be filled so after next Friday (18th July) I will open any remaining places to non club members. So if you have friends or partners interested please let me know. You can either post on the calender page or drop me an email.
Tom
