Planning a ride? Tell everybody about it here.
Anyone interested in GMBC intro ride tonight? Nice and chilled, trails and pace to suit everyone. 7.30 St Andrews car park, Milngavie. Weather looks very pleasant.
I’ve found my hall keys! So tea and biscuits after!
If you’re interested please post here or on FB.
Hi all, I’m working evenings this week so won’t be out for the usual club runs. Planning on going to Mugdock on Friday if anyone is free and fancies a wee spin.
I’ll be at the usual car park for about 11.00am if anyone is around.

The weather looks questionable for the rest of the week, so I’m making the most of it tonight.
I’ll be at the club car park for 7pm should anyone care to join me.

So following the postponed date, who’s up for this, weather permitting ?
Details on the old post, riding from wemyss bay at 0730

Hi,
There has been some chat about organising a weekend trip to Arran this year. For those of you who haven’t been mountain biking on Arran are a lot of great trails to suit all tastes. The Arran bike club (http://www.arranbikeclub.com) have done a great job linking up trails and putting routes on their website.
The rough plan would be travel over on Friday night (ferries are at 1515, 1800 and 2030, or 0700 Sat morning), avoiding taking the cars if at all possible. Ideally we would get some sort of hostel type accomodation near Brodick. On the Saturday we could aim for a big ride like this:

On the Sunday we could do one of the short but still brilliant rides like this:

There are a number of other routes and variations possible if anyone fancies something different.
If you are interested in coming post up here and I’ll look into accommodation next week. I’d like to book something by the end of next week once I get an idea of numbers.

Looks like another dry, cold night so I’ll be out for the 7pm ride. Heading back to the hall sharp though as there’s a meeting to discuss the upcoming MTB orienteering event – which I hope you’ll all be entering!! 🙂
As mentioned at the AGM, we’re pleased to announce that GMBC are hosting the 2nd round of the Scottish Mountain Bike Orienteering Spring League, sponsored by Alpine Bikes, on Saturday 20th April at Mugdock Country Park.
If you are unfamiliar with MTB orienteering (called Trailquest in the past) then the objective is to visit as many of the 30 checkpoints as possible within the 3 hour time limit. The event is within a defined area and a map and list of checkpoints will be provided on the day. It’s up to you which route you ride so you take in as many checkpoints before your 3 hours is up.
The event is open to adults and children over the age of 15 (or over the age of 12 as part of a generations team). You can enter as a solo or a pair. There will be a fantastic selection of prizes & spot prizes for competitors. The event is now available to enter via this BMBO page.
Prices to enter the event are as follows: Continue reading
I have double booked myself (Torridon weekend) so I have a free entry for this great event. I did it last year – great scenery, quiet roads, lovely food and well organised. http://drumlanrigchallenge.btck.co.uk/ There are still extra places left too.
Hi all,
I’m heading out for a local blast tomorrow night at 7pm and on Sunday morning (early start) 8am, should anyone care to join me?
Cheers

We’ve got a new rider (James) joining us potentially and as I won’t be out because of work I’m just wanting to make sure there’s folks out to meet him. If you’re intending to ride this Tuesday can you post up here? Thanks.
