Hi,
The club has booked a bunkhouse on Arran for a weekend away in September. The riding on Arran is fantastic but it’s hard to get good quality accommodation so don’t miss the chance. There are 14 places for club members, check the calender entry for details:

Hello peeps,
Just came across this online … http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/parking-at-glentress-1
Personally, I won’t be using their carpark anymore, don’t have any issues with paying a fiver for the day, but the tactics employed by this external company I do not condone.
Any advice out there on 29er tyres to find the balance between fast rolling and traction on the mud, dirt, leaves and some rocks and roots.
Continental’s Mountain Kings aren’t doing it for me, very sketchy on the corners . . . .
I’ll be riding tonight, so long as I get my bike back from the shop.
Forecast to be OK this evening: dry and quite mild http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/forecast/glasgow-glasgow#?tab=fiveDay&fcTime=1393372800
7.45 @ the club
Just a reminder, the forecast is looking pretty good for Saturday so if you’re after excellent trails with snow capped mountains in the background look no further:

Anyone else going out for the 7pm ride tonight? Forecast is supposed to be showers and clear spells so we might be lucky and get some nice views.
