3 ferries road ride – june
An alternative to gmbc favourite ‘5 ferries’, the 3 ferries is some of the 5 in reverse, with a nice addition of ride round bute, and an amazing descent to Dunoon. Plan to start at gourock then ride to wemyss bay, ferry to rothsay, ride round island then ferry at colintravie. Pub lunch then tough road to dunoon, the swoopy 5 mile descent is sublime and worth the pain. Ferry home to gourock and a chippy! Plan to start about 9 or earlier, total distance is about 70 miles and ferry cost around £9 total. Times and miles will be confirmed, proposed date is June 10th, any gmbc roadies interested? A road, cx or a touring bike is fine, mtb would be a bit tough I reckon.
Great Glen Way/ West Highland Way over a Weekend in July…
Myself & Grant Hill are planning to ride the Great Glen Way (GGW) and West Highland Way (WHW) over a weekend in July (7th/8th). The plan is to take the train from Glasgow to Inverness on Friday 6th July (arriving ~19:30pm in Inverness). On the Saturday, we will ride the GGW and a bit of the WHW, staying in Kinlochleven. On the Sunday, we aim to ride back to Milngavie. A few years ago, I rode the Westie with Graham Anderton and Euan McDougal in a day (time flies). So this is the next step. The GGW/WHW ride was originally suggested by Paivi during the Balmaha weekend in January. Paivi & Dave might be joining Grant and myself but that needs to be confirmed. Continue reading

2012 Introductory Rides Posted
I’ve posted up the early Wednesday introductory rides on the club calendar. These are chilled out rides aimed at riders who are either new to the sport or the club and they run from May until August. The rides start at 7pm on the Wednesday.
We need volunteers to host the rides, ideally 2 existing club members per ride. If you want to put your name down to host (or attend) a ride then please use the comments at the bottom of each calendar event to do that.

Hi,

Sunday local ?
I am going road riding on Sun in a vain attempt to get fit for Etape, however one of my work colleagues, Louise, is keen to join the 9 am ride if anyone is heading out. She has ridden Mugdock a few times but doesn’t know routes on her own. If anyone is heading out can you post up/text me on 07810 153666 and I will pass on.
Thanks
