Mulled Wine & Mince Pie Ride (Wed 21st)

Hi Folks – as per the calendar it’s the annual mulled wine and mince pie ride on Wednesday.  It’ll be a shortish ride followed by some friendly chat and munchies.  No obligation to ride, you could just come along for the food/drink!!

So as we don’t end up with a mince pie mountain and mulled wine loch of leftovers can you post up or email if you’re intending to come along.  Cheers.

Weekend Rides: Mabie/Ae/Dalbeattie etc

Hi Folks,

Luke has done a top job organising this weekend’s club trip and with about 18 people going it looks like it’ll be another great weekend of riding and socialising.  If you’re not staying over but still want to join for the riding on either day then make yourself known.  We’ll be riding in Ae at 10am on Saturday, followed by a spin round Mabie.  Sunday still a bit TBC but Dalbeattie and/or Kirroughtree are being considered I think – start time not certain but we’ll be leaving from the Marthrown of Mabie bunkhouse.

So if you’re interested then post up and we’ll arrange to meet you.

Scottish Bike Show Sportive 2012 (Follow Up Post)

Hi all,

I posted a few weeks ago with regards to the above.  I received an email this weekend and the cost/dates have now been confirmed.  I think it’s crackin’ value for a fully supported event.  For further info including route, click here http://www.thescottishbikeshow.com/sportive.html

Entries open today and if we can put together a group of 6 or more riders, we gain a small discount individually.  It’s normally £25 per head, we’d get it for £23.50 and this also includes a ticket to the actual show.  It’s being held on Sunday 15th of April and there’s also a 65 mile Challenge ride for the wimps.

So far, I have a head count of four (myself, Robin, Alan Linstead & Stephen Malaney), but I’m sure there are more of you!!  Please let me know if you’re in.

Regards

Barry

p.s. Reuben, Ryszard & Gav – come on guys, don’t let the GMBC road train down!

Friday Evening & Sunday Morning Ride

Hi all,

Due to commitments throughout the week, the earliest I can get on the bike is this Friday night. I know it’s not a conventional night as you’d probably be down the pub or watching X Factor repeats, but does anyone fancy joining me for a night ride round Mugdock. The weather looks good!

I’m also heading out on Sunday morning at 10am around Mugdock if anyone cares to join me?

Cheers

Barry
