GMBC Road Ride – Thursday 17th July @ 6.30pm
July 17, 2014 @ 6:30 pm - 8:45 pm
Hi folks,
With the increase in MAMILs during Le tour, I’d thought we should offset this unnatural phenomenon with some hairy mountain bikers on skinny tyres.
Weather is looking good, so I’m planning a 35 ish miles route (56 km) starting from the club house promptly at 6.30pm this Thursday 17th July.
Sorry, but this is only open to individuals with a road/cross bike, keeping pace on a mtb will be very difficult.
Aiming at a group riding speed of 15-17mph (24-27kmph), with your own pace on any steep climbs.
Route: Club house, Torrance, L/Town, Crow, Fintry, Top of the World, Arnprior, Drymen, Queens View, Milngavie – I haven’t yet mapped it, but I reckon a good 30 miles +
So, who’s in?
I should make it.
I’ll come out for a spin. Had to Google MAMIL… images now haunting me – yeuch!
Barry – can you map the route please? I’ve got the bike at work today so won’t make it there for the start, but if Nellie joins you on the ride this evening, I will head to Milngavie and (once I get there) ride in reverse till I meet up with you guys.
