Hi folks
As you are probably aware, Elaine and Gee are heading back to NZ soon (boooo!) so I’m organising a curry night for them (yay!) I’m thinking Mon 12 Dec at Balbirs in Church Street. If you fancy coming along, please let me know by tomorrow (Friday) at the latest so I can book the table. It should be a good night and it would be nice to say cheerio to them properly before they head back to an NZ summer…..jammy so and so’s…..not that I am jealous in any way! Ha! Ha!
John has asked me to pass on the following:
Stuff for sale, don’t want to put it on ebay just yet. Rather someone from the club got a chance first.
Genesis Altitude titanium frame 19″ brand new, decided to go another direction with the build so have to sell the frame on, offers of £750.
Specialized Stumpjumper Pro FSR 19″ 2007 but looks like new, only ridden occasional trail centre visits, £2000 new, would take offers around £1000.
Anyone needs specs or test ride then email me on millerDOTjohn401ATgmailDOTcom.
Thanks Luke for sorting such a mint weekend away, good people, wicked trails, great beer, awesome food and shitty weather made for good times. thanks for all your effort.
Cheers to Sanny for the movies last night too, home sick after watching the Queenstown section of Follow Me though 🙁
Hi Folks,
Given the weather I’m opting for sitting in a nice warm cinema with a cold drink watching people who ride bikes better than I ever will. Any other takers? I think Elaine, Gareth & a friend of theirs will be heading along too.
Details here:

Can’t believe I haven’t posted this before – guy I work beside knows the director.

Enjoy!
Stephen Malaney and myself are going to ride up to the AGM on Wed night, weather permitting, if anyone else wants to join us.
Got a great wee light from Aldi yesterday – 5w Cree LED, 500 lumens they say and a nifty wee push/pull zoom – looks bright in the back garden test and cost a mere £10.99, bought a twofish light mount from ebay for an extra £4.50 that fits it to bars or your lid.
Hi,
Weather looks good in the east and given all the bad weather, a trail centre seems like a good option(shame I cannot do the weekend away).
Anyone interested in Glentress?
Cheers
Ross
Hi GMBC,
Do you fancy a social ride spanning two days?,
Do you fancy an 11am (ish) Saturday Morning start getting to your destination on pure pedal power alone?
Do you fancy staying in a bunkroom or twin bedroom for 50 % discount including a full english breakie the next day before mtb home again?(Bunkroom pp £15, Twin bedroom pp £18.75)
Most importantly do you fancy a slap up meal and some ales n beers in an award winning Gastro Pub of the Year?
If you answered Yes then heres the details,
28th Jan – Sat am. leave Stewart Street Car Park with a little adventure bag packed with your overnight kit (Party pants, Hairdryers, Straightners optional) leave along the west highland way – playing whatever trails take our fancy en route to Balmaha – mandatory tea stop in Drymen – or pub for those requiring dutch courage for the descent off Conic Hill. Arrive Balmaha just as the sunsets and into the pub for another mandatory durty beer before a wash and some dinner. Relax, socialise and sleep ready to do it all in reverse the following day.
There are 4 spaces in the bunkroom and there are 5 twin rooms available. Roll Call so far; Graham A, Barry, Tony, Gerry, Alison, Phil, John, Sam, Davie, Lorna, myself and Ryszard. I will need to get back to Oak Tree Inn tom (25 Nov) at 5pm to give them an idea of how many are coming – short notice I know sorry! So those who are interested can you get back to me asap. 🙂
If you need anymore convincing check out the website http://www.oak-tree-inn.co.uk/
Cheers,
DD
