Ben Gullipen ‘MTB Madness’ Time Trial Aug 19th Callander

  By ,

Just read about this – http://www.skidaddle.org.uk/

”You’ll need uphill legs, a downhill head and a bike and helmet that can do both.

The race features a mass start from the bottom before ascending approx. 5km to the top of Ben Gullipen along the forestry tracks and paths. After a break at the top it’s an individual time-trial descent in the sequence and time intervals that you arrived at the top.
This will make it a real race to the bottom!

Entry is open to all abilities although you’ll want a certain level of fitness to enjoy the ride up and a certain level of bike handling skills to manage the descent.”

One for the folks staying up in Callander and looking for something to do next weekend.

You get to ride up Cock Hill, phnar, phnar….

25th Weekender – Accommodation Payment & Update

  By , ,
Hi All,
 
The good news is there looks to be a great turn out for the weekend’s celebrations in August!! Last time we had said payment would be based on numbers coming, so taking this into account, plus the non-members who are coming, the costs are as follows:
 
How Much?
Members- £16 per person per night (which includes continental brekkie, remember!)
 
Non – Members- £20 per person per night (brekkie still included)
 
How to Pay
As the BACS payment system worked so well for the tops, we’d like to use the same process for this, including coding your payment with your name. The link below takes you to a speadsheet with the amount each person is due, once you’ve paid, if you can just indicate the date paid in the column. The BACS details will be sent out via email. To help us with organsing, can you please pay by FRIDAY 3rd AUGUST.
 
 
 
Some Spaces Left
There are still a few beds left, 2 on the saturday night, and 10 on the friday night. If you’d still like to come, please contact me directly via email – sammygrovesAThotmail.co.uk Or, if you think you may want to come for the day or BBQ on the saturday, we need to know by Friday 3rd. Again, just get in touch with me.
 In addition to the club subsiding the accomodation, we also plan to contribute to the catering from club funds, including the BBQ planned for the saturday night. More details will follow from various committee members over the next couple of weeks, including asking for some help from those who offered.   Watch this space!
 Think that’s all folks!

Sunday Road Ride.

  By

My MTB’s are either broken or unavailable. I would be posting a MTB ride otherwise –  honest.

Anyway, anyone fancy joining me for this: http://www.gmbc.org.uk/event/sweet-road-ride/

By far and away my (local-ish)favorite area to road ride: fantastic scenery, proper hardcore climbs and *gasp* mostly decent roads with few cars.

There’s a few route options to add climbs/make it shorter.

I’ll not be back on the computer for a few days so maybe’s text me on: Zero seven nine, eight one eight one, five zero, eight two.
