a big sky ride on the cx bikes ? Ardgarten, Sun 1st Dec ?

any interest in getting those cx bikes off the muddy fields and onto a big spectacular loop ?  The Ardgarten Peninsula is a favourite of mine on a nice day, and a bit more of a challenge on the cross bike than a MTB.  Will b every weather dependant, but if there is some interest I’ll pop it on the Calendar.

If you don’t have a cross bike feel free to come along and be smug on the big descent into Lochgoilhead 🙂

Likely timings would be meet Ardgarten Car park 0930, and the loop takes around 3.5 hrs

SMBO Abernethy Sat 16th Novemeber

Ieva already posted this up, but I thought I’d see if anyone else was interested.

I’ll be driving up if any one wants to head up with me, circa 10am start (in Abernethy), 3 hours orienteering and maybe a spin for a hour or two afterwards.

I’ve entered as a solo, but if anyone wants to pair up is daft enough to spend an extra three hours getting lost and listening to my slevers and pish  I’m sure that could be arranged with the organisers.

Weather looking decent!

Club Members and Facebook

A private GMBC members group has been set up on Facebook, and all paid up members should have received an invite today to join from one of the Admins.

People who aren’t registered as having current membership wont be able to see or join this, but the other GMBC Facebook group remains open to all, although membership of the open group is still moderated.

If you aren’t on Facebook don’t worry, WordPress and club mail remain other principal methods of communicating – you won’t miss out on anything (apart from maybe some of the online chat)

Cheers

Sunday Morning Ride

It’s been a long week and I fancy a ride out on Sunday morning. Mugdock is likely to be pretty boggy and so fancy somewhere that might be dryish. Anyone fancy a trip to Cathkin or Carron Valley. Aim for a 10am start, but flexible.

A Big Thank You!

A message from my family:
“Mike & Liz Anderton would like to thank the members of GMBC and Walkers Cycling who helped Graham when he became ill during the recent Lakes weekend. John and Robin were invaluable in getting him to hospital and getting his car back to Glasgow and Eilidh’s carrot cake was the best prescription! Thanks to all the club members who have been in touch by phone, text, email and visits for helping to keep his spirits up, also being helped in no small measure by the occasional piece of Dawn’s chocolate brownie!”
