Club Social Night Out – Friday 28th October

  By ,

Hello peeps,

Believe it or not, it’s been two months since our last lycra free social night.

Venue is slightly different this time but has proved popular in the past.  We’re meeting at The Curlers Rest on Byres Road (beside Hillhead underground station).

Time: 7.30 for 8pm

They have German Beer-Hall style tables in the upstairs which I can reserve if I can get a show of hands please.  The grub is very good, the menu changes on a daily basis and they serve food till 10pm.  They have a vast selection of speciality beers inc fruity ones, lager, ales, wines and spirits.

There’s always the option of Oran Mor for the after party!  It’s the last social before the Christmas night out.  I hope to see you there.

Cheers

Next Navigation Skills Classes

  By

Hi Folks,

After a successful and informative navigation skills course back in July we’re aiming to run more classes.  Depending on the level of interest there will be 2 theory classes and 1 practical session (on foot, probably in the Trossachs) on offer.  To ensure we have the best chance of running the classes I will open this up to non-GMBC members subscribed to the Yahoo mailing list on the condition that paid GMBC members have priority and non-paid up members pay the full price (£20 per course).  Dates and details………..

Bullands Coffee Shop

After a blast around the soggy trails on Sunday morning, there is nothing better than a huge slab of delicious cake and a hot drink…… They welcome wet and muddy riders too, so support your local coffee shop and load up on some well earned carbs. Thank you Bullands for a perfect finish to the ride.

Wed Ride & Interim Club Clothing update

  By

Hi all,

Firstly, to all YOGA participants, I’ll not make the Tues night ride due to a groupon deal, but I’m gonna head out earlier on the Wed night (honestly, it’s not cos of the poor weather forecast:-).  I’ll be heading off from the club car park at 5.30pm and returning around 7.30pm before the start of the class around 8pm.  I know you did that last time Euan, does anybody fancy joining me?

Secondly, I’ve been emailing the owner of Cyclejersey to find out what’s happening with our Club Clothing Order which I placed at the beginning of Sept.  I’ve sent a few emails over the last fortnight looking for an update, but I’ve had no replies.  I was given a lead time of around 4 weeks before I placed the order and emphasized the need for the tops before the Cyclocross race this weekend.  I have no contact number and I suppose it’s a case of “let’s just wait and see!” 

With our anniversary top order looking to be a big one, you’d think a little more attention to detail would’ve been implemented.  But hey……maybe that’s just me!

Over and out

Here are a couple of ride suggestions that I have done before. We can decide on the day…. both approx 3-4 hours; nothing technical; great scenery and riverside return trails, trees should be fantastic colour too.

Fancy dress optional!

Last chance to ride before British Summertime ends.

Meet at Escape Route Bikes ready to ride @ 10am

Chris, sorry cant offer lift.

PS this is a saturday ride

Ardgartan Loop this Sunday anyone ?

  By

Forecast is looking good and I haven’t done this one for a while.

For anyone who is interested, but not ridden it before, it’s a longish one, around 4 hrs, with a lot of fireroad and amazing views.  There is a 3 ish mile section of singletrack which contains a very challenging climb and a real rollercoaster descent to LochGoilhead.

If there are a few up for it I’d be planning to be at Ardgartan Car Park ready to ride at 0930.  Look for carpark signed for Forest Walks and with a wee wooden tearoom, off the left of the A83 just before the Rest and be Thankful (turning is a good bit past the campsite).

if not much interest then I’ll probs do a 9am Mugdock.

Cheers
