Arran Weekender – 7th / 8th September

  By

Hi,

There has been some chat about organising a weekend trip to Arran this year. For those of you who haven’t been mountain biking on Arran are a lot of great trails to suit all tastes. The Arran bike club (http://www.arranbikeclub.com) have done a great job linking up trails and putting routes on their website.

The rough plan would be travel over on Friday night (ferries are at 1515, 1800 and 2030, or 0700 Sat morning), avoiding taking the cars if at all possible. Ideally we would get some sort of hostel type accomodation near Brodick. On the Saturday we could aim for a big ride like this:

On the Sunday we could do one of the short but still brilliant rides like this:

There are a number of other routes and variations possible if anyone fancies something different.

If you are interested in coming post up here and I’ll look into accommodation next week. I’d like to book something by the end of next week once I get an idea of numbers.

Website Login Problems Now Fixed!

  By

Hi Folks,

Just a quick note to let you know that the website login problems have been resolved!   The site should allow you to get logged back in and post rides, stories, ride reports and get access to a list of club members to join for bike rides.  You can also upload photos to our Flickr account.  See the Help section on the website for, errr, help.

If you’re a new club member reading this and you weren’t set up with a login to the webpage because of the access problems then don’t worry as we’ll be setting you up with access in the next few days.  Also, if you’re returning to the webpage after the downtime and need a reminder of your login and want your password reset then drop an email to membership[AT]gmbc[DOT]org[DOT]uk

Happy posting!

Website Login Problems

  By

We’re aware of a problem getting logged in to the website and are trying to fix it. We’ll post an update when we know more.

NB: You may want to try the WordPress mobile app in the meantime. It seems fairly simple to use, if a bit limited.
