Golfie / Innerleithen trip Saturday 20 October
I am heading down to Innerleithen tomorrow to ride the Golfie. Plan on being there for 10am and ready to ride out shortly after that.
Weather is looking good, been dry for the last couple of days so hopefully the trails will be in good nic.
Trails are awesome fun, mainly black graded natural singletrack decents with fire road climbs to reach them.
I know it’s short notice but hopefully see some of you there. Post up if you coming 😃

Torridon Weekend Away 14-16 September
Hi Folks,
I am looking at booking the ever popular Torridon weekend away trip for the 14-16 September this year.
Likely plan:
- Drive up to accommodation Friday night approx 3.5/4 hrs drive
- Big ride on Saturday
- Return to accommodation Saturday night, chat, good times, food and drink.
- Smaller ride on Sunday
- Return home Sunday afternoon
Accommodation: Hopefully a hostel of some sort. TBC once we know numbers.
Distance: 45-50km, 1300m ascent. More can be added towards the end if we’re going well!
Terrain: Black grade. Rocky, very steep in places, some exposure, occasional drop offs. Distance adds extra difficulty – it’s harder when you’re tired!
Ben Lomond Ride Wednesday 4 July 6:45-10pm
It’s steep, rocky and potentially midge infested but it’s a classic nonetheless. Involving a big chunk of hike-a-bike upwards from Rowardennan expect a rough, rocky (black + grade) trail with large drainage ditches and rock staircases and switchbacks in places.
Knee/elbow pads suggested (and obviously a crash helmet!!). Pack a spare tube or 2 as we had a few punctures last time. The plan is to ride/push up from Rowardennan car park and see how far we get before we need to head back down – fingers crossed, pretty far up. Sunset is around 10pm just now but maybe take a light just in case we have a mechanical up the hill and come down later than expected.
Meeting in the car park at 6.45 for a 7 o’clock ride time.
You now need to pay for parking in the car park so bring some change.
Fingers crossed the good weather will hold out until next Wednesday, should the weather turn bad we will postpone to another date.
NB: The Google map can’t place the car park too well, but it’s NTS car park at the end of the road, you can’t miss it.
Old Kilpatricks Ride
Tuesday 05-Jun, departing 7pm from Old Kilpatrick Station. 8-9 miles, approx 1800ft of up & down.
