Reminder: Selkirk Ride This Weekend

Hi.  Just a quick reminder that the Selkirk ride is this Saturday (09:30 start).  IMHO, truly one of the best rides in the Borders!  It would be a great ride if you’re planning on entering the excellent Selkirk MTB Marathon event.  We can tailor the route to those present & the weather on the day as there are various options to shorten or extend the ride.  The riding will require a degree of skill and stamina [not sure why I’m going on it then 🙂 ].  I’d say if you’re comfortable riding red graded trails at a decent speed you should be OK but the route is longer than the red at GT.  The route has a mix of trail centre, open moorland track, fireroad and techy forest singletrack.  Take food as there’s no cafe en route unless we opt for a descent and a climb.  If you have any questions about the route then let me know.  Cheers, Graham

Cycle Speedway Taster Session

Hi.  I was contacted by Andy at Glasgow Cycle Speedway to publicise a taster session they’re putting on this Sunday.  I think Andy’s on our Facebook group so you can contact him there or find a few more details at the event I’ve posted.  I’ll be away in Aviemore this weekend (see the Aviemore event in the calendar) but if you’re in Glasgow and fancy something different then maybe contact Andy and head along.  Hopefully there will be more chances later in the year if you can’t make this one.

Aviemore Weekend Away – This Weekend

On last night’s ride Dawn, Tom and myself were mulling over a trip away this weekend.  The plan would be to leave Glasgow on Saturday morning, get some riding done, overnight in a hostel and bit more riding on Sunday.  The location would probably depend on what the weather at the weekend is doing but at the moment we’re thinking of Aviemore.

Are there any other takers for a spontaneous away ride this weekend?  If so, shout up and we’ll sort out logistics/trails etc.

Notice To Wednesday Night Riders

Watch out for glass in the car park at the club hall!  Also, the tea urn in the kitchen isn’t working so you may struggle to get hot water (unless you bring a kettle with you – which I resorted to tonight!).  We’ll sort out a kettle as soon as we can.  You could always sample the bar……
