This is already on the Facebook page, but for anyone who missed it. A few of us hoping to ride a couple of mud free laps of the Cathkin trails this evening. start either 7 or 745 depending on what suits folks. Post up if you can make it – a nice change to Mugdock and good all weather surfaces 🙂
Tom, Elizabeth and I are kicking arse on Bute this weekend. http://www.rothesayweekend.co.uk/?page_id=12
On Saturday there’s a CX, Hillclimb and 20 mile 2up TT.
On Sunday there’s more road racing
I’m going to give the CX and hillclimb a bash but I don’t have a buddy for the TT anymore, anyone want to join me?
Myself, Ali and Al arrived at Chalet la Combe in Morzine to be met with a startled owner who was clearly not expecting us. What was worse, the stack of cases in the lounge looked as though other guests had just arrived in front of us. Luckily it turned out that the cases were the owner’s and Jan was a fantastic cook and host. http://www.bedbreakfastweb.com/host.cgi?id=506 As we didn’t bring a bleed kit with us, we were carrying all our gear for 2weeks in our 20L packs, it was off to a bike shop to sort out my rear brake. Turns out I wasn’t the only one off that flight in the queue with a defective brake.
excitement and anticipation building
Okay, so not as nice an evening as last night, but good training in the wet & muddy stuff.
Dumgoyne loop, or other suggestions?
Who’s coming out?
Looks like a fairly useful day tomorrow so my bags are packed & lights are charging – who else is out tomorrow night?
Folks,
Now the summer holidays (and the sunshine) have deserted us, a few off have been chatting about organising a club night out so we can all get together, catch up on news, and gear up for winter riding…literally after wearing wrong shorts today. Brrrr.
So, think Inn Deep just off Great Western Road- Graham tells us its a Williams Brothers pub, so lots of lovely craft beer to be had. http://www.inndeep.com/
Suggest a start time for 7.30-8pm, although I’m sure a few folk will be there straight from work for some food.
Shout out if your in.
Cheers,
Sam
p.s. apologies to the pub committee who have suggested a pub ride the next day, but dates were proving problematic! So, its 2 for 1 time, unless weather affects things!
Sat 21st Sept, see calendar.
Weather dependent, final decision made on the evening Fri 20th Sept
Regards
The Pub Committee
We can’t make it to Arran this weekend (hope the weather stays good!), but for those who won’t be in Arran or pedalling for Scotland, we’re planning to ride in Aberfoyle on Sunday. The options are mtb (Glen Finglas or other) or cross bike ride around Loch Katrine. Post up if you’d like to join us!

Really good ride last night up the Whangie. Dry-ish trails and fantastic sunset views over Loch Lomond. Really good turn out as well, with some folk opting for the Whangie route and others staying in and around the park.
