Planning a ride? Tell everybody about it here.
Sunday ride at Aberfoyle tomorrow. Meeting in the main car park opposite the Scottish Wool Center at 10am.
Will be riding the “enduro” trails behind Go Ape and around the mast area. These are red and black graded natural trails. Helmet essential and knee pads, elbow pads highly recommended.
Ride is likely to last a couple of hours, plenty of options for coffee and cake after the ride.
Hope to see some of you there.
Post up if your coming along.
Hi Folks,
Its almost time to get the bike prep’d and get your bags packed.
Just some final things before we go;
Accommodation–
Bunkhouse will be available from 4pm on Friday afternoon. Bedding is provided.
From memory there is a bike wash facility, however i am bringing a bucket and sponge just in case!
Food / Drink –
This weekend is primarily self catering. Sam has kindly arranged an Indian takeaway on Saturday evening (£12.95 includes mixed starter, main, rice, nann and a soft drink. Make sure you bring plenty of supplies closest shop to the bunkhouse is 8 miles away.
The club will be providing Tea / Coffee / Milk and some fruit etc.
Riding Plans –
There are plenty of trails in the area and we are planning on doing various rides to suit everyone. There is still quite a lot of snow around in the mountains at the moment and there is a rumor that “Beast From The East MK3” is going to hit at the weekend! Hopefully it wont come to anything but it’s nothing us hardy GMBC folk can’t handle 🙂 So be prepared for winter riding conditions, plenty of warm clothing and spares etc.
There are some of us up for a ride on route to Laggan on Friday, Dunkeld or Aviemore has been suggested so far, I will post up when I know more.
If you have any questions, give me a shout.
Looking forward to seeing you all there at the weekend 🙂

Hi,
Looking for a show of hands of all interested in the club Easter Weekend away this year (30 March – 1 April ) so I have an idea on numbers when booking accommodation. Currently thinking on something in the Cairngorms area, hopefully that has a mix of trails for everyone. If you could let me if you are interested as soon as possible that would be great.
Cheers 🙂
Hi. Anyone up for a ride tomorrow? Clear your hangover, get a start on the new fitness regime. A later midday start at the club hall for anyone feeling a bit rough from the partying. I’ll bring some milk in case there’s no cafes open so we can get a cuppa back at the hall after the ride.

Hi. Anyone fancy a Mugdock ride tomorrow? Forecast is for snow so I expect it to be slippy and icy in places. It won’t be fast. Mid-ride or post-ride cafe stop being planned too. Details in the calendar but I’ll be at the club hall and ready to ride from 10am.

Hi. Is anyone out riding at 7pm on the Intro ride tonight? It’s my first time out on the bike in 5 weeks so I’ll be taking it easy.

Hi. It’s the customary seasonal bimble which is the mince pie (& non-alcoholic mulled punch) ride. It’s a regular ride (maybe a bit shorter than normal) followed by a bit of a social session back at the hall.
It means we’ll buy vast quantities of the cheapest mince pies we can get our hands on so the mince pie mountain lasts us well into June or July 2018. But apparently best before dates are just advisory anyway. Please post up on the club website or on FB to say you’re coming.
Our effort will look nothing like this!
Yours sincerely,
Mr Kipling
Planned for Fri 22-Dec. See Chris’s Facebook post for more info. Or visit this informative and entertaining calendar event describing the mini-adventure….

I’ll be doing this ride tomorrow. I’m not fit/fast just now but I have a time constraint so I’ll be wanting to keep moving to make sure I get the miles in before it’s game over. It should be a cold, clear day tomorrow so that steep, steep climb up the front will be an ideal warm up 😉 There’s no cafe stops en route so bring food/munchies. Depending on progress there may be an option for some extra loops or extending it.
Meet at Kilpatrick station & ready to ride for 9am.
