Save The Date: 12-Dec – GMBC Christmas Party

Hi – advanced notice for you.  After the success of last year, Saturday 12th Dec is pencilled in for a return to Siempre Bicycle Cafe for the GMBC Christmas Party.  Same idea as last year; price includes food but not your drinks.  Menu details still TBC but price will £20-ish.

Next I need to know rough numbers so if you’re interested then post up here or drop me a text/email.  I’ll ask for confirmations and payments once the menu details are published.

15th November – Innerleithen uplift day

A few of us have booked onto the Uplift day at Innerleithen. Book a place here: http://www.upliftscotland.com/

They normally manage to fit 9 runs into the day, on the Innerleithen Enduro trails (I suppose you could also do the dh trails too).  To give you an idea of how hard they are, I am pretty rubbish on descents but appear not to have died yet and have done a few of them on my hardtail.  That said, I will be riding a full suss,  wearing a full face helmet and body armour and will probably still walk bits of them!  I’m sure most of you would be better at them than I am, they are just steep, fast, natural, rooty. Fun though!

So far it’s me, Luke, Jonathan, Richard Hb and possibly Gary.

New Zealand Travels!

Anyone got ideas, advice, top things to do and see lists for New Zealand??

I’m going out for a few weeks, through December and returning mid January. Will be based in Wellington so will travel to the best bits for Walking, Riding, Diving, Exploring and generally having fun. Opportunity of a lifetime so got to make every second count.

Cheers

 

Alternative to Alpkit Gordon 20L

My rucksack has gone trekking to Machu Picchu, unfortunately the invitation wasn’t extended to me. So I am looking for a replacement for my Alpkit Gordon and they don’t have any stock other than flo yellow till December.

Any lightweight dry sack for around £25 would be appreciated

Thanks

2015 Club Tops- Update and for Sale

There are a few folks still needing to pick up their club kit. If you are one of them let me know and we can make arrangements.

We ordered a number of spare tops and these are now available for those who missed the original order. In addition, the manufacturing issue with the short sleeve jerseys has left us with a number of small sized jerseys which are now surplus. As the club has not had to pay for these, and due to the limited number of folk they will fit, they are being sold off at a discounted rate. The available club kit and prices are as follows:

Mens Short Sleeve ¾ Zip  – 5 small (£15 each), 4 medium, 1 large, 1 xx-large, 1 xxx-large (all £41.62)

Mens Long Sleeve full zip – 1 small, 1 large (£59.36 each)

Unisex MTB ¾ sleeve – 1medium, 1 large (£56.30 each)

 Let me know if you are interested in any of the above.

As with the original order if you are a paid up member you will, receive a £10 discount on your order. £10 refunds are currently being distributed on Tuesday nights.

 Thanks

Stuart
