Well that was wetter than an otters pocket…and bloody good fun!
To nobody’s surprise , a select two of us headed out tonight for a spin up to Loch Ardinning. It wasn’t so much muddy as biblical level wet.Much of the riding was under water and yet despite that, we had a riot. It was dodge the frog time as we took the longer route round the loch with the constant fat rain making its presence felt. With plenty of good chat ranging from retrobike to the latest doping revelations from the pro tour, we seemed to whizz round in double quick time with me getting back home to the west end just gone ten. Not bad for a decent length of ride on a wet October night.
Anybody riding tonight @7.45 (17/10)?
Weather looks proper minging tonight, but I’m bursting for a ride. Anyone else planning on being out?
OK Hills
Heard from a mate that the grassy descent has all been chewed up by some woodland trust team who have erected a new deer fence. etc. Think it is the descent from the trig point he was talking about. FYI.
Lands end – John O’Groats
Hi Folks
This is my first post since joining a few months ago. A mate of mine has suggested the Land’s end – John O’Groats end to end as a target for next year. We were looking towards the first two weeks of the school summer holidays as possible dates. Beyond that we are not sure which route we will take (the mountain bike route is considerably longer by around 450 miles) and it will probably involve the road bikes. Hostels would be the main accomodation. Is there anyone in the club interested in joining us? or anyone who has done this ride?
That’s pretty much where we are with it at the moment although we are aiming to firm up the route and dates by mid November.

The Great Glen and Westie in two days
Yes, we cheated.
Riding the Great Glen Way and the West Highland Way, back to back, over two days sounds like a bit of a crazy plan, and it was. It was hatched by Paivi back in January during a GMBC social ride, and it should be noted that only Gerry and I actually took part in this epic, Paivi was nowhere to be seen. Continue reading
What a difference a week makes
Dear Mugdock,
I nearly gave up the ghost on you after last weeks drenching and ride through your muddy quagmire. Tonight was an altogether different event, dry, almost ‘dusty’ in sections and pretty warm and fresh. It was my next door neighbour, Pat’s first foray into night riding, he went home with a big smile on his face too. The love has returned. Sorry Mugdock for nearly spurning you.
Yours appologetically,
D
Anyone riding tonight?
So the weather looks great, we’ve had several days without rain and the forecast is cold and crisp so who’s up for a sharp start at 7.45?
Cheers
Sanny

Give me a text on 0, seven, seven 3, two, two, nine, nine, 7, 5, tree, if you’re coming.
See you tonight

Glecoe Red downhill
Headed up there on Saturday – gorgeous day and only 2 of us using the uplift! Here’s a wee film of the red run – apologies for the angle, the Gopro moved just as I left. Oh, and my back brake stopped working around 1/4 of the way down….
