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

Hello peeps,
Another Weekend Away Ride! We haven’t had any all year, and now four come along at once!
If you are keen to join us, four of us are heading to Keswick on Friday 28th Oct to Sun 30th Oct. I’m tackling Whinlatter Forest Park and the Altura Trails, but if anyone has any ride suggestions, please feel free to post a comment.
Accommodation is at Denton House Bunkhouse – it’s £15 per night, tea/coffee, linen included but they recommend bringing a duvet/sleeping bag. It’s in Keswick & the trails are a close drive away.
I’m booking the bunkhouse on Monday so we don’t miss out, so if you’re keen, please let me know before then.
Cheers
Barry
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!).
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.

The organisers of Cowalfest have asked me to pass on details of MTB rides that they are running; the full list is here. Continue reading
Hi all,
Not meaning to state the obvious or tread on anyones toes, but just to recap – there are two weekend away rides planned on the calendar, with the addition of Dawns early November away ride.
Firstly, the September weekend of 23rd – 26th, there’s the Pitlochry/Ballater/Braemar ride. The location is up for discussion, so please feel free to comment.
Secondly, the last weekend of November 26th – 27th, we have the Dalbeattie/Mabie/Ae Weekender.
Finally, we have Dawn organising a weekend away in early November, weekend of the 4th -6th. See post http://glasgowmbc.wordpress.com/2011/09/12/long-weekend-in-aviemore/
An early show of hands from anyone interested in these away rides will allow us to organise accommodation. It’s already getting difficult to find places, the longer we leave will result in not finding anywhere to stay.
Thanks again
Barry
Hi All,
Last November a few of us took advantage of Barry’s Dad’s timeshare in Aviemore. This year we unfortunatly don’t have the timeshare but that shouldn’t stop us going up!
I was thinking Friday 4th – 7th Nov. Ideally we’d look at bunkhouse accomodation trying to keep cost low. Aviemore is always busy and books up well in advance so it be good to get things booked sooner rather than later. I’ve looked at Aviemore Bunkhouse which is about £17 per night per person in a dorm. If there were decent amount of us we could just get dorms booked out just to us.
Ryz and I were up there over the weekend and came across even more cracking singletrack on Feshie Moor and in my wee head I am now busy putting routes together which will give us decent open cross country routes and take in as much singletrack as possible. Am burstin to get back up there now!
The club has been up here a few times and its always been a good laugh.
So if anyone is up for it then shout up! The sooner I know numbers the sooner we can get something booked.
Alternatively if the date doesn’t suit most of those that are interested and another one suits better then we could change it.
Dawn
