Balmahooha Weekender 5th March

March 5, 2016 @ 9:00 am - March 6, 2016 @ 4:00 pm

This year the trip is slightly later than normal but will follow the same format as last year but with a few changes.

This is a social event and is a good mix of cycling, beer and fun.

We normally meet at Bullands in Milngavie between 9-930 for some breakfast before heading off around 10 o’clock. Stopping in Drymen for a quick refreshment/food before riding on to Balmaha.

All in all it’s approximately 24 miles from Milngavie to Balmaha with options up over Conic Hill or there’s an alternative route for those who wish to cut out the climb and descent.

Accommodation this year will be at the Balmaha Bunkhouse which sleeps 14 people at a cost of £20 per head. There’s also cooking facilities for making breakfast the next day. If everyone pays a few pounds extra that would cover breakfast and carriage of our bags from Milngavie to the Balmaha.

Accommodation info here: http://www.balmahahouse.co.uk/accommodation.html

For those who prefer a bit more luxury there is a B&B available for £35 per person. Note there is only 1 double room and 1 single room so if you’re interested be quick!

Dinner and drinks will be at the Oak Tree Inn just across the road as usual.

We then cycling home on the Sunday along the same route cutting out the Conic Hill section.

If there are more than 14 names on the list don’t worry as there’s usually a few people pull out, so add you name as a reserve.

Once you’re on the list I’ll email you details of how to make payment.
