Hi All,

Okay, some work has been done to find accommodation for this trip. At the moment there is around 20 people committed or have said they may want to come.

In order for us to find accommodation large enough for a group this size, we need to book it very soon. Therefore, can I ask you all to fill in this spreadsheet with the days you wish to come by Friday 23rd (this Friday).

If you are unsure, I’m afraid we will have to book for those committed or we won’t get anywhere. For those who do commit by Friday, it is expected that you will pay any deposit required, or find someone else to take your slot.

Sorry, for the time-scales on this but if we want to go, we’ve got to move fast or we’ll all be camping!!

Cheers,
Sam

Folks, I am hoping to get things finalised soon regarding the GMBC yoga/pilates classes, i.e. every second Wed night during the winter. For those interested, can you let me know if you would prefer a 60 min class at £4, or a 90 min class at £6. My preference is for a 90 min class to make the travel time more worthwhile. I will go with what the majority want. If you could lt me know ASAP that would be good. Cheers Gerry

Quick reminder about tonight’s event- The Cycling Cinema at Riverside Museum, featuring Greame- he’ll be doing Q&A’s and signings after the film at 9.30pm. Take our bikes, entry free, starts at 8pm.

Hiya,

I purchased a GROUPON voucher for the Morar Hotel, near Mallaig some time ago, and struggling to find time to use it, so offering it up to the club members for sale.

Deal is: Two nights for two people, including afternoon tea. Face value was £119, but willing to sell it for a tidy £100. (The actual cost is meant to be £310, so great saving!).

www.morarhotel.co.uk

The voucher must be used up before 31st October.

For those wanting to go biking, there is a great route around Loch Morar in Kenny Wilson’s book, that requires taking a boat to a remote spot then biking back to Morar. Only down side it that the boat only runs monday – friday!!

Otherwise, its a gorgeous bit of the world and only a 30 minute boat trip to south tip of Skye.

Let me know if anyone is interested.

Thanks

Sam

So  for Aviemore I have me, (obviously), Ryszard, Sam, John , Paivi, Dave, Barry, Graham A, David Hicks (potentially), Robin (potentially after finding out the beer token situation), The Thornburn brothers (aka the chuckle brothers, is Alex coming?) . At the moment am trying to find cheap nice accommodation. If anyone else is interested let me know asap. Otherwise can you lot let me know if your interested in fri, sat and sun night or just the fri and sat night.

Cheers! DD

Bought late 09. boxed with all accessories and charger and including a head harness which is unused. Helmet mount and cable also unused as I have always used it on the bars. Light unit is in perfect condition. battery case has a crack from where i dropped it on my garage floor when a few months old, which I sent back to Hope and they glued, and it’s been fine since.

Looking for around £150

This weekend is the Scotland Coast to Coast Challenge; from Nairn, down the Great Glen, to Glencoe on foot bike and kayak. I am raising funds for Guide Dogs for the Blind and all I am asking is that you sponsor me to the tune of the cost of a pint (probably less if you drink in Glasgow pubs): £3.00.

Go on, surely you can afford to spare a pint for a good cause.
