Hi all,
Due to commitments throughout the week, the earliest I can get on the bike is this Friday night. I know it’s not a conventional night as you’d probably be down the pub or watching X Factor repeats, but does anyone fancy joining me for a night ride round Mugdock. The weather looks good!
I’m also heading out on Sunday morning at 10am around Mugdock if anyone cares to join me?
Cheers
Barry
Bought in error as it is not what I though, this is more of a storage stand that can also be used to work on bikes, but needs fixed to wall so rules it out of the spare room. Ideal for a garage or a room that has not just been decorated. It is unused, just built and then taken apart. Cost £30 but would take £20 if anyone wants it – they sold out really fast last month.

Here is the stand - bikes not included!
Is there a sunday ride planned? if so I would possibly head out, been too long since I rode an MTB. I hear trails are sodden, trail centre perhaps?
This could be good news: looks like approval for an outdoor centre and bike trails in lennox forest has been given. There’s a Facebook page about it now but I can’t paste the link on this bluddy Android tablet…
Hi guys
Just a quick heads up that I’m organising another film night for the GFT at the end of this month. Details of the tour are below. Glasgow will be hosting the European premiere of “From the Inside out” from the team that made the likes of The Collective and Seasons. Continue reading
Don’t forget the firework ride this Wednesday (2nd November).
Bring as many fireworks/sparklers as you can fit in your camelbak (or panniers if you’re feeling particulalry burny), and join us for a ride out to a mystery remote spot where we can let them off accompanied by some hot dogs and mulled wine (courtesy of GMBC).
Non (paid up!) members will be pushed off a cliff and/or burnt in a large doll fashioned from wicker.
Hope the weather’s decent!

Hi all,
My apologies for the delay. Behind the scenes I have been trying to contact the owner of the company creating our tops. After several emails and one strongly worded complaints email, we are back on track with the order.
I have spoken with the owner today and been assured that I will have the tops in hand by the 22nd/23rd of November….just in time to hand out at the AGM on Wednesday 30th.
So, if you’re coming, please remember to bring your money and membership fee. If you can’t make it, I’ll keep them handy and give them out on Tues nite rides.
Regards
Barry
This is a great 40km 4-5hr route about 90mins away from Glasgow. Navigation is easy, it is all weather, great scenery and Escape Route Bikes. Going clockwise, it begins with a fire road climb out of Pitlochry, followed by a great single track descent all the way down into Strathtay. There is then a few kms of quiet C road going up the Tay, look out for the red squirrels I saw 3 and also the turn off to the right to Aodin/Edradynate Estate. There is then a long rideable land rover track climb to the ridge. The pay back is good for a slightly more techy land rover track descent down to Loch Tummel and then a chill out along the riverside back to Pitlochry.
Just spotted the Halloween ride / social / BBQ on the calendar for tomorrow. I’ve not seen any other mention of it, is it still going ahead?
