Those of you who haven’t sorted accommodation out yet had best start thinking soon!
Anybody’s welcome to come (see link for info), the list of folk is: Me, Wylie, Chris J, Alistair, Sam G, Will A, Graham, Ryszard, Elizabeth O’D.
Angus, Barry, Gary, Eilidh etc., you guys must be keen?
Hi,
After no takers for N3 last time, so I thought I’d test the water on FB first before posting this. So far, we have in:
Elizabeth, Rich HB, Tom and Barry.
This one could be a go-er!
Hi. I couldn’t get accommodation in Fort William so the weekend away on 1/2 Aug is now in the Cairngorms. The plan now looks a bit like this:
The Friday & Saturday will be with some of my work colleagues and we’ve been offered exclusive use of the hostel in Glen Feshie on the Friday night. At the moment we have about 7 spaces for the Friday night and plenty of space on the Saturday (non-exclusive use). If you’re interested in one of these spaces please let me know ASAP. The cost would be about £25 per night.
So, the summer BBQ looms and if you fancy working up an appetite beforehand then there’s the option of a local ride, leaving from the club hall at 3:30pm and aiming to return about 6pm.
The pace will need to suit everyone so the focus will be on the social aspect of the ride. If there are folks that want to stick in some techy or fast options I’m sure we can accommodate that. Given the recent heavy rain, and more rain forecast tonight, I’m considering the Dumgoyne Loop with some options on the way back through Mugdock. The forecast for the afternoon itself is looking pretty good…… just now. 😉
Please post up or text/email me if you’re coming along for the ride.
keep your fingers crossed!
Hi,
I have just stuck with up on the calender… good one for a warm day!
Sam
Just a quick note to say there is a Wednesday Intro ride at 7pm this week, just haven’t got around to updating the calendar for July yet.
I’ll be up in Fort William with some friends from work. We’ll be riding at the Nevis Range on the Saturday. There’s a variety of trails there but my plans are to do an uplift day riding the Giant Red DH trail and maybe some of the enduro trails. After an overnight stop in Fort William I’ll be heading home via a loop of the Devil’s Staircase & Ciaran Path from Altnafeadh in Glen Coe.
Sunday ride – Devil’s Staircase/Ciaran Path
If you’re interested in either of the day rides then let me know by posting up here so I know to expect you. If you’re interested in the overnight stay in Fort William then let me know and I’ll see what I can arrange in a hostel. Once I’ve made the booking for anyone who expresses an interest it’ll be up to any late joiners to sort out their own accommodation. If there’s no hostels available then there’s always camping.
I’ve put up two events in the calendar, both of which are 200km/1 day mtb affairs:

It will be the mountain bike equivalent of this
Looking for a team of 5 max to keep it quick. If you’re interested post up on the event page.
Has anyone noticed that we have nothing on the club calender for July, so just a wee post to see if we can start some ideas and chatter….. afterall, the weather may actually get a bit better!
The committee is planning the annual Club BBQ as we speak, and hopefully get a date set soon, but what about the social pub run, or the 5 ferries ride? Both have become summer classics over the last few years….
Anyone else got any other ideas for trips or rides?
