Commonwealth Games Legacy In Action, maybe

Just a quick note to say we had 7 new/newish riders join us last night (Aileen, Pawel, Rhona, Katie, Gary, Sahra and Kirstin) and they all got stuck into the riding and did really well right to the end.

A big thank you to Ryszard and Eilidh for helping host the ride.  I know they all appreciated it.  The intro rides are only officially planned for another 3 weeks but with this level of interest we’ll need to keep something going – if you want to volunteer or suggest something for an intro level ride then post up or drop me an email.

PS: Gary told us he thought about coming along to the club after seeing GMBC on STV Glasgow – so Barry’s patter and Iain’s tales of faceplants didn’t put him off – good effort!

Cree T6 bike light and head mount kit

7 Day Shop are selling the Cree T6 bike light for only £21.99 + £1.99 P+P. Usually delivered within 2 days rather that 3-4 weeks from DealExtreme!

Rather a narrow beam so helmet mount is best. I cut the elastic off the head mount and cable tie it to top of helmet. Tiny and lightweight battery easily gives 3 hours burn time on low setting! The cable is long enough to reach a jersey back pocket.

Dumyat Tues 29th July

If anyone fancies it, I’m meeting some folks at Logie Kirk, 7pm on tuesday. Nice singletrack climb up through the woods, up and down Dumyat, and some cracking descending too. Weather looks good, probably shouldn’t have typed that…
