Marina Cycles Gravel (XC)
The usual Gravel/XC run from the shop. Direction of travel TBC, reasonable fitness required, but nothing trickier than blue MTB trails - I promise, this time.

Ae forest trail/enduro
I thought I'd make a change from riding from Marina Cycles, and take a ride down at Ae. No big plan, but there's loads of steep fun trails there, I'll be taking the big bike and trying to remember how to ride properly 🙂 Not too far to drive, there's a good cafe there, and I've not been in ages!

The usual, leaving at 9, back for 12ish (can be back for 12 if you have plans, might extend it if not!) Gravel may, at times, be hidden under a thin layer of mud, depending on the weather between now and then! MTB/gravel/cx bikes all should be fine.

Marina Cycles ride – Big ride up the Campsies
Sunday ride from the shop, taking in a loop up the campsies via Lennox. It'll be a big loop, you'll need decent fitness and be prepared for a day out in the hills (although we will pass a couple of cafes on the way out/in). There's the odd spicy bit (e.g. nipple tweaker), so bring your skills and a bike you can enjoy them on! 🙂

Now the nights are getting longer, it's time to do a ride that's more friendly to newer members. Riding from the shop (Marina Cycles, Kirkintilloch). Heading along canalside singletrack up to Barr Hill, to play on the trails, where there's plenty of scope for the group to split and people to try a variety of descents. Marked as blue, but more challenging descents available to those that fancy it. And there's a steep climb or two, but nobody stopping you…

Whangie Wednesday Night Ride
Hi all, just had a thought that we haven’t been up the Whangie for a while, and this time of year is great for some evening views down over Loch Lomond (it’s bound to be cloudy now). I’m happy to lead a hosted ride up there next Wednesday (8th June) if anyone fancies it. It’s around a 28 km loop with about 450 m of climbing. Leaving from behind Jaw Brew at 7pm
