I quite fancy another biking trip to the Lake District. Probably North Lakes to make the drive a bit easier, staying overnight on the Saturday. The riding is first rate down there, loads of great routes to do. If you’re interested post up and we can see about accommodation The club has a YHA membership that we could make use of.

Myself, Chris & Nick (who’s just joined the club) headed up just North of Perth today for a ride round Glen Garr and Little Glen Shee. It turned out to be a bit of a winter classic, with the weather far exceeding the forecast and a very varied mix of riding around the 41km loop . It’s only just over an hour from Glasgow, which is great considering the quality of the riding.
If you don’t fancy the road ride and couldn’t make it up to Perthshire today then here’s another option for you. I’ve not been out much recently so it won’t be fast, focus definitely on relaxed and sociable.
Details below:
Today after much stress, keyboard tapping, website crashing, and general French faffing I managed to secure tickets for this years Passportes. However during the whole shenanigans I now have 5 tickets and only need 2. The spare tickets are for the Saturday race, 2 leaving from Morzine and the other leaving from Avoriaz (dont ask).
So before I head back to the organisers and ask for a refund on these 3 tickets I thought I’d put it out there and see if anyone wants them first. Cost is €79, this includes a top.
I’m posting this on other sites so its first come first served.

Gavin T passed this on to me for input ,looks like the forestry commission have most trails covered ,one which could be done is the south westerly from duncolm to greenside reservoir .but all in all if these improvements are completed it will be amasing as the down hill runs which have been cut by the local young team are gnarly and if any one has riding them will no ,I have spent a lot of time up there and the are sweet decents and tough ascents ,all in all another great wee addition to the greater glasgow mtb scene.
A little over 6 weeks to go, so I hope you are all fit and raring to go. I need to make the final payment to the hostel, so can folks please pay the balance asap as per the Booking List at http://www.gmbc.org.uk/event/skye-easter-weekend/
Alex has dropped out so we have a spare place for anyone who is interested
Any more ideas for rides too?
Hi. The weather looks alright tomorrow night so I’m heading up to Milngavie for a ride. Usual 7pm start. Anyone else heading along?
I’ve added this to the Calender:

It would be great to get a few folk out, looks like a great route in a stunning area. Not too far from Glasgow either.

A winter of not riding means I’m toiling for fitness, so I need to get my finger out. I’ll be doing this: http://www.gmbc.org.uk/event/sunday-road-ride/ on Sunday should anyone want to join me. Hopefully the weather will be OK – it looks like an improvement towards the end of the week. It can’t possibly be as bad as yesterday (Sunday)…
Other routes are available, so if you have a better idea I’m open to that.
