Clyde Valley ride
Another "non - shop shop ride" starting from Wishaw, 9.30 on Sunday, riding some of the trails in the Clyde Valley. Some of these are pretty tough, from what I remember! Hoping to find a local guide, but if not there's trailforks. Meeting at Jac's kitchen, ML2 0RL

Riding croy and barrhill, and perhaps beyond depending on how the rest feel, likely to be a fairly chilled pace in the morning. The terrain will be the usual, I'll be on the gravel bike. I might stay out after for a bit and do another loop into the afternoon for anyone up for it. Tea/coffee/biscuits/hose at the shop after as required! 9am outside Marina Cycles, G66 1XP

Sunday Marina Cycles Trail Ride
Heading up to do the Campsie Glen trails, possibly Lennox on the way there or back (especially if the railway path is still shut), or perhaps with some riding across the tops of the Campsies if (and only if) people are up for a push up. Start at the shop, 9am ready to ride. Some pretty steep and tech bits of trail in this ride regardless of the final route, bring the big bike and big boy or girl trousers…

Marina Cycles xc/gravel
9am ready to ride. Any bike should do, I'm threatening to bring a singlespeed if my knees stop feeling like they're ready to explode. Heading towards Barrhill/Croy Hill and perhaps further depending on who's out. More trad xc than gnarly trails. Aim to return for 12.

Wednesday Night Ride from Marina Cycles
To help switch it up a bit, we're riding from Marina Cycles on Wednesday night. Usual start time of 7. We'll hit Lennox Forest or go along to Barrhill and maybe Croy Hill depending on who turns up and what we fancy. Whatever we do, it won't be the usual Mugdock trails. Weather looks great! Marina Cycles, Unit 4 McBride Avenue, Kirkintilloch, G66 1XP 5 minute ride from Lenzie train station for anyone coming out by public transport.

Another not at the shop Marina Cycles organised trail ride. We'll be heading down to Fairlie for (provisionally) 10.30am start. Meet in the train station car park. If anyone is taking the train down, get in touch so we know to wait. I believe the trails are pretty decent, and undoubtedly slippy fun this time of year! We have a local host from Drop The Post MTB group to show us the best bits.

Just a relatively chilled out social ride round an XC/gravel loop to work off the hangover and cabin fever from Christmas day. Start and finish at Marina Cycles, Kirkintilloch. Back for 12. Tea, coffee and biscuits (maybe, who knows, even a mince pie) and temperature permitting, a hose, will be available at the shop after. This could either be a lovely frosty ride or a total bogfest misery slog, but either way the company will be great (as long as…
