Who’s coming out tonight?  We could do the Whangie, Dumgoyne, Loch Ardinning, or whatever the group majority vote is!  Details on the calendar – post up of you are coming. 

Hope to see some of you out, as the Wed group has been a bit sparse lately!

More details on the calendar – but meet at Bowling locks at 7 pm.

As an ex Ayrshireite, I have a patriotic duty to tell the world  what a tremendous place to cycle Ayrshire is.  Loads of quiet roads, big climbs and fast descents.

They’ve created this website to tell you where the good climbs are and helpfully graded them:  http://www.ayrshirealps.org/

There’s also an 200km and 100km Audax on Sat 17th of August starting in Girvan- think I’ll give the 200km a go.  They included some gravel roads too – they raced the Davie Bell memorial road race over so apparently it’s ok for a road bike.

Here’s the maps for the Audax: http://southcarrickdaviebell.wordpress.com/davie-bell-audax/

seeing as last week was weathered off ?

Forecast doesn’t look great – 17 deg, showers, sunny intervals, bit of a breeze.

If there are a few up for it we can pencil in and decide Sat, otherwise postpone ?

Cancelled!

Hi all,

I’m heading to Mugdock with a friend for a 2hr ride before attending the Graeme Obree club night at Alpines.

Please feel free to join us.  Meeting in the club car park.

As a new Fifer I would like to organise a GMBC weekend here. There are plenty diverse options for riding: the Lomond hills, Pitmeden forest, bits of Fife coastal path, Falkland downhill freeride trails and many more.

I would suggest the 9-11th of August as the family I stay with will be still away. Then we will be able to use 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 living rooms and a big kitchen. But it can be a later date as well. The family is really cool and enjoy having people around. Only the last weekend of August is not an option and I will be away in the middle of September.

It is an 80 min drive from Glasgow. The house at the foot of the Lomond hills, just before Leslie. There are plenty beds and mattresses but you should bring sleeping bags. The deal includes breakfast: the fruity oat porridge and eggs from our own hens. The big kitchen is ideal for the communal cooking and there is a grand piano in the living room if someone wants some entertainment. I would suggest to have a honesty box to thank the family.

Let me know who is interested and what you think about the dates. The next weekend would be ideal. Tom cannot make it then but  I have little sympathy, as I am not invited to join his mob.

I’m planning on heading out 7pm at the car park. Forecast looks OK, sunshine with a chance of refreshing showers.
