Night Riding – Beyond Mugdock

  By

After last week’s mini adventure up Dumyat and excellent descent in the dark there was some talk of doing a proper away night ride. This might just be because it was the first chance to really use the lights this year and we hadn’t been soured on it by months of plugging around Mugdock on filthy dark nights.  Anyway, the rough thoughts were:

– Trail centre (e.g.) Glentress to avoid getting lost and be fast and fun

– Probably a Friday night so as not to be “school night”

– Start 8ish to allow travel from work / home and a good couple of hours riding

Would anyone be up for this on Friday 14th September? If the date’s an issue please post up as there will be plenty of manky dark Friday’s to chose from.

Calling all Specialized Owners

  By
I am looking at a bike on ebay, see link below and images attached.
Both my bikes have a number stamped on the bottom of the frame below the bottom bracket, this one has a couple of stickers.
The guy bought it from a london based internet order company with email andrewstent@hotmail.com.
Can you guys look at your frames please and let me know what yours looks like?
Anyone recognise this internet order co email?
The bike is in worcester and my wife is nearby this weekend so thinking of looking at it.
Trying to find out if it is genuine, the guy cannot find a receipt at present but is still looking

Ben Vorlich & Ben Ledi – 25th Weekend

It was a tough climb more or less straight out the blocks or for me a tough walk, though I have discovered a better way to carry the bike, wheels forward. The rocks are quite loose making it extra challenging. There is also no warm up in the descent, it is a straight down from the word go. We all made it down with not too much damage. Continue reading

One for the roadies… and calling flying scot owners

  By ,

On saturday the 1st September it is the Georgetown cup – a team time trial held at Inchinnan, need to get 8 riders in each team, entry only £8, all money to charity. It’s a popular event and plenty time for some sneaky practice.

I am entering with (whispers) a roadie club, but I am sure there are plenty of GMBC riders that could get a good time on the 7.2 mile course – all flat. There will be some catering and drinks – again all for accord hospice. The losing team gets the ‘Georgetown Pie’

In addition they are trying to get as many flying scot owners to show off their bikes, money will be collected from people putting in a bucket for each of your favourite bike (for charity) and the winning bike gets a prize too… so [cough] simon h [cough] if you have a classy bike, get it shown off, or come for a lookie!
