Happy New Year all! I’m heading up to Comrie Croft tomorrow, is anyone else interested? Here’s the details:

I can offer a lift to 1 person, leaving from the westend. Text me or post up if you’re either interested in the lift up or plan on coming along to Comrie.
Hi. We’ve used club funds to pay the deposit for exclusive use of the Ardenbeg Bunkhouse in Grantown-on-Spey (approx 15miles north east of Aviemore). The trip will be for 4 nights, arriving Thu 2nd April, departing Mon 6th April. Bunkhouse accommodation will cost £74per person for the weekend (assuming we get 19+ people signing up).
Grantown is a great base for mountain biking with it being a short distance from both the Glenlivet trail centre and all the classic trails near Aviemore & Rothiemurchus, not to mention a skills loop in Grantown itself. With all the riding nearby there should be options to suit everyone. As is usual with club weekend trips we’ll be sharing the catering duties and there will be plenty of great banter (although, no hot tub this time!).
All the details for signing up & making your payment can be found on the link below:

In the interests of keeping spirits up during the dreachness of mid-winter I’ve been thinking about summer.
Anyone interest in this?

200km (125 miles) mostly off-road. The route was set by Bryan Dawson for Shand Cycles ‘Shindig’ bike packing over-nighter.
Planning on doing it in a day, perhaps on CX bike – possibly second weekend in June or last weekend in July. Likely a 6am start and a midnight finish. All TBC
It’s obviously going to be hard work, but at least there’s plenty of time to get the miles in!
Yip. That’s right. Easter. Next year. We’re planning it and we’ve not even finished with the Christmas holidays yet! The sign up for the Easter trip will be going live on 29th Dec at 7pm so here’s a chance for you to do some thinking in advance….
So, check your calendars, organise your shifts, plan your holidays and keep your eyes peeled here for the online sign up form.
SIGN UPS WILL ONLY BE TAKEN OFFICIALLY VIA THE ONLINE FORM – NOT VIA POSTS, EMAILS, TEXT MESSAGES OR DRUNKEN COMMITMENTS IN THE PUB 😉
We will be holding a Service Clinic on 14th of January specifically for GMBC members where you can work on your own bike with help from some of the Dales mechanics. Kicking off when the shop closes at 6pm we will have work stands set up and all the tools you will need to cover:
Hi. As per the title really – it’s a local ride followed by a sociable post-ride beer/non-alcoholic beverage in a local pub (location TBC, probably the Burnbrae).
10:30 departure from the club hall, probably riding for 3-4 hours – maybe with a short cafe stop before returning to town to find a warm pub. I’m trying to pack in as many of the best local trails as possible.
Take front & rear lights in case it’s dark when leaving the pub. NB: it won’t be a long session in the pub, just that the days are short!
Hi all. So as I haven’t had any sort of flat warming at all since I moved here back in July, you’re all invited to a wee get together on Sunday 28th Dec. It started off as 5 or so people from work coming round, but it’ll be good to have some biking minds there too 😀 There isn’t a plan at all to the night, just turn up at some point, have some bevvies (BYO), I might do nibbles and stuff. Depending how many people turn up (it’s not the biggest flat in the world, and my 5 bikes take up most of the space!) we could always wander down to a pub in Shawlands.
Party hats are optional, Christmas jumpers distinctly not allowed.
Hi. If you want to be a part of a night that will go down in club history as a real stoater * then you have 3 more days to get your name down and pay the bargain sum of £15.
What does your £15 get you? A drink on arrival, a superb spread of delicious Siempre buffet food, some festive cheer, proper belly laughs, a warm feeling of belonging to the best bike club in Glasgow and some happy memories of a great night out with friends, old & new. Told you it was a bargain!
Who’s going? So far we have:
Phil, Stuart, Davie H, Al D, John & Helen, Sam & John, Gillian, Gav, Alison & Gerry, Angus Mac, Alden, Katie O, Eilidh, Dawn, Neil, Myriam, myself and TBC’s from Tom “cup o’ tea?” Wylie and Keiran & Iain.
How do I sign up? Simple. Fill this form in and make a BACS transfer as detailed in the form. If you have any problems signing up then contact me via the email in the original post:

Hi Folks,
I have a brand new limited edition 25th Anniversary club top for sale. I bought a Mens Small MTB top (short sleeves) thinking it would probably fit, but it is way too long for me.
I will bring it along to the AGM tonight, so if anyone is interested, just give me a shout. Looking for £20 for it which is bit less than I paid at the time.
Cheers,
Sam
