Category: Upcoming rides

I’ve put the following event into the calendar:  http://www.gmbc.org.uk/event/cairngorm-loop-weekend-provisional/

As some of you know, impending fatherhood means I have a lot of long rides to get out of my system before my riding is reduced to an hour or two early morning blast, commuting, CX racing and stolen minutes on the turbo (joy).  So far this has mainly consisted of riding around in small circles with number board attached and endlessly long road rides.

So I thought it might be time for something different and something big.  Might be the last chance I get for some time.  So hows about this:

300km over two days, around the Cairngorms.  B&B/bunkhouse at Aviemore or Braemar.  Route based on this event: http://www.cairngormsloop.net/  Here’s a tread on Singletrack with some nice pictures:  http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/a-cairngorm-loop

C’mon, you know you want to.  It will be epic.

Hi,

Planning a ride on Saturday:

It’s a brilliant place to ride, although quite challenging. Hope to see a few folk out.

Hi,

As much as I’d love to do Tom’s mini adventure tomorrow, its just too far for me to get home afterwards (probably an hour and a half driving up and over the Loch Lomond) so is anyone still thinking of going local? If not, I’ll go local at home…

Cheers,

Sam

Hi,

This is an evening ride I’ve been meaning to post up for a while:

The weather forecast and trail conditions look brilliant for Tuesday!

Hi.  I’ve just put up a ride in Pitlochry for this Saturday.  If you’re interested then either post up here, on the event page itself or drop me an email/text.

I am planning heading out at 11 tomorrow for a 45 ish mile road ride on the scenic quiet back roads, from EK, towards Strathaven, Whitelee and Eaglesham Moor.

Road bike and pace circa 16mph.

Post up either here on WP or on FB if interested and we can meet in Lidl Car Park (near Hairmyres Hospital) at 11.  If no one posts I will not be going via Lidls..

Hi folks.  I’m heading out for a ride tomorrow night, 7pm start.  Looks like it’ll be another nice day – who else is out tomorrow?
