Over the last few weeks, some of us have been tackling longer & steeper rides than the normal Mugdock meander……and they’ve been blooming fantastic rides.

10 Under
Anyone planning to enter 10 under? I was going to maybe enter last minute if weather ok. Or even just head up for a couple days riding as got weekend off. Will have space in car if I do.

Ride on Sunday (6/5/12)
I fancy doing something other than the usual Mugdock ride on Sunday and wondered if anyone wanted to join me?
Possibilities:
- Head along the Westie until we’re bored and back, maybe including Conic.
- Loop round the back of Dumgoyne, perhaps including venturing out into the Campsies.
- Something round Aberfoyle way.
- Trail centre (Glentress black?).
- Something else? I’m open to suggestions, don’t want to drive more than a couple of hours.
Craigellachie routes?
Anyone cycled Craigellachie and have waypoints/directions/routes?
July spare time 4th to 7th Aviemore?
When I return from holiday, I have additional days to use up…I plan to head North for some scenic MTBing. If interested in joining me for some big days out let me know. Places in mind:-
Skye
Torridon
Fort Bill
Or most likely Aviemore.
Other suggestions welcome.
Cheers

3 ferries road ride – june
An alternative to gmbc favourite ‘5 ferries’, the 3 ferries is some of the 5 in reverse, with a nice addition of ride round bute, and an amazing descent to Dunoon. Plan to start at gourock then ride to wemyss bay, ferry to rothsay, ride round island then ferry at colintravie. Pub lunch then tough road to dunoon, the swoopy 5 mile descent is sublime and worth the pain. Ferry home to gourock and a chippy! Plan to start about 9 or earlier, total distance is about 70 miles and ferry cost around £9 total. Times and miles will be confirmed, proposed date is June 10th, any gmbc roadies interested? A road, cx or a touring bike is fine, mtb would be a bit tough I reckon.
Great Glen Way/ West Highland Way over a Weekend in July…
Myself & Grant Hill are planning to ride the Great Glen Way (GGW) and West Highland Way (WHW) over a weekend in July (7th/8th). The plan is to take the train from Glasgow to Inverness on Friday 6th July (arriving ~19:30pm in Inverness). On the Saturday, we will ride the GGW and a bit of the WHW, staying in Kinlochleven. On the Sunday, we aim to ride back to Milngavie. A few years ago, I rode the Westie with Graham Anderton and Euan McDougal in a day (time flies). So this is the next step. The GGW/WHW ride was originally suggested by Paivi during the Balmaha weekend in January. Paivi & Dave might be joining Grant and myself but that needs to be confirmed. Continue reading
