Save the Date – Saturday 7th Feb

  By

Folks,

Paivi and Dave (old club members who moved to England) are coming up to Scotland for a weekend of biking, banter and beers weekend of 6th/7th February. They will be staying with us in Bridge of Allan but keen to hook up with folks for riding.

Plan loose at the moment, but idea will be to do something decent on the Saturday, probably up our way/Trossachs. Then do something local on the Sunday.

All TBC, but thought I’d give you a heads up- for those who know them, and for  anyone else who fancies coming out for a ride.

More details to follow- ride plans will be formulated nearer the time/weather situation.

Ardgarten Loop Sunday?

  By ,

Weather for Sunday is looking good, anybody fancy getting some miles in?  For those unfamiliar with it, it’s ~20miles around the Ardgarten peninsula, mostly on fire road/forest track, with a more interesting section from the southern end into Lochgoilhead (nothing too bad, I’ve done it on a CX bike), and over the Rest And Be Thankful.  Opportunity for a stop in Lochgoilhead.  The forecast is for blue skies, and the views are big.  I’ll probably take the CX bike again.  Tracklog here.  Shout out if interested.

Sat 24th January – OK’s?

  By

Anyone (Gav? Graham? Etc) fancy showing me and a few fellow ayrshirites around the Kilpatricks in a couple of weeks? It’s really not far from us, and I’ve been meaning to get up there for ages.

Hope 2015 is a good un for you all!.

PS – anyone entered the Largs stage of the Scottish enduro series? On our doorstep, it’d be rude not to!.

Balmaha additional spaces

  By

Hi all,

we have a few spaces available for Balmaha. We have a space in the  bunk room £15 inc breakfast. The oak tree have also had 2 cancellations of deluxe double rooms. These would be £55 per room inc breakfast. I said I would get back to oak tree ASAP regarding the double rooms as I wasn’t sure we could fill them based on the majority of GMBC “couples” already going along although perhaps Graham and Baz would like to upgrade from a twin to carry on their bromance 🙂

if anyone is interested let me know ASAP (particularly about the double rooms) might be a nice way to bring your partner and introduce them to the bike club, we are very friendly!

Any up for a bike ride on Saturday 10th Jan?

  By

As above, does anyone fancy an away ride next Saturday? I’m thinking of a fairly decent ride, 4 or so hours.

There is currently some exciting weather forecast towards the end of the week, so will decide on a venue later in the week depending on how the weather looks. Something Perthshire way, Pentland Hills or maybe even Southern Uplands depending on how the forecast looks.
