Banff Mountain Film Festival

For those not already going to the totally amazing & sociable Balmaha weekend away……

Banff Mountain Film Festival is on Glasgow Sat. 28th January 2012.  I know a few folks from here have been before.  Nothing MTB related this year it seems but generally an entertaining evening regardless:

Cycling Mojo

I feel as though I have lost my Mojo for cycling. Just feel as though once it comes to thinking of going out on the bike,I just can’t be bothered and it’s annoys me. Is it the weather, dark nights or just me??

Anyone else had this? What can I do to get my head back into it?

I have signed up for the TSBS Sportive – at least that’s a start.

Saturday ride – A9shire

Hello
I’m planning a ride with some friends on Saturday.  They live in Dundee so we’re hopefully going to meet up somewhere on the A9, maybe Perth or Pitlochry. 

Does anyone fancy coming along?

Also, can anyone recommend any routes that are unlikely to be totally sodden / underwater?

Hall vote

Don’t forget that voting closes at midnight on Wednesday. Everybody that has paid their subscription for 2011 is entitled to vote, so please do so.

Cyclist killed on Paisley Road West in a Hit and Run

Yesterday a cyclist was killed on Paisley Road West in a hit and run. Hope it was no one we know and if you are out on the bike, Be Careful! Get as much reflective gear and lights on as possible.

I have 4 rear lights, 2 on the bike, one on my rucksack and one on my helmet , plus 2 cateye El320 front light and an Altura Night Vision jacket.. Still feel as though no one sees me sometimes….

Club Clothing Order

Hello all,

Just to remind you that I now have the club tops in my possession.  The majority of you are still to get them.  I haven’t been that accessible recently due to various reasons and unfortunately I won’t make it tonight…….in fact, I haven’t been on the bike since the Mabie weekend.

For the folk that haven’t managed to collect yet, please let me know what would be the easiest option to meet me i.e. Tues, Wed, Sun ride?  I’m attending the Yoga night at the hall tomorrow for 7.45pm if it suits?

Eilidh & Bradley, I can deliver yours on my way home tomorrow night as you live on route, please let me know if you’d be in around 10.30pm. 

(£30 for short sleeve, £32 for long sleeve)

Cheers

Barry
