Hi,
Just a quick reminder about some great riding planned for this coming weekend.
Friday night night ride a Glentress. There is a spare bed in the bunkhouse if anyone else wants to stay over. So far me, Graham and Robin are staying over.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Is anyone up for an away ride on Sunday? I don’t mind where. Possibly Pentlands? Also, did anyone leave a torq energy drink bottle in my car (maybe Tom or Robin?)
Hi folks,
I went out for a morning ride with OMD earlier this week and cruised round our (road) hilly time trial course so that I could create the segment. Here it is linked in the club discussion…

I was hoping to run another timed event again this year (as I did last year), but work has had the better of me on week-day evenings this year. Instead, get yourself out there, ride the segment and record some times 🙂
Hey.
I am a relatively new member
I turned up tonight at 7.20pm just to see a small group of members cycling onto the pedestrian precint. I thought I had tunred up early for the 7.45 pm ride which I thought was the only one listed for the winter season. I decided to quickly change and catch up with the group but obviously chose the wrong route as I never seen them again. Anyway I went out for a ride on my own. Wasnt bothered but just need to know for future knowledge was that a 7pm ride setting off late or the 7.45 deciding to head off early to make the most of the light.
Cheers
Allan
those confirmed, can you email me snellmanpaivi@yahoo.co.uk so that I can send you the keycode for the door etc. We’ll be heading up the road around midday on Fri 21st, ETA 3.30ish and would like to go out for a short evening ride if possible.
we got some left over sausages/chicken plus some refreshments of which we will bring with us. we can use the food for communal cooking one evening and go to a pub the next eve. Parking for 4 cars in front of the cottage and possibly on street parking just round the corner. but if possible, car share.

Hi there. Just publicising an upcoming weekend away. See here for more details:

If you’re interested then get your name down as I’ll be sorting out accommodation later this week.
Simon road a stormer on his classy fixed flying scot, Alan, Lyndsey and I all had a go on the 7.2 mile course and set a few PB’s, 160 folk turned out an raised a ton of cash for accord hospice… but highlight of the day was jack from thomsons cycles ripping along the course on a penny farthing in full aero kit – even pulled a tour style victory salute at the end – 28 minutes (course record is 14.17).
Jack tearing up the course – retro style
Just wanted to make you aware of a few things that might impact local rides in the near future:
I’m afraid this is a bit cheeky.
I doing Relentless on 6th October as a solo and it’s only just occured to me that it will be dark for 50% of the race – worse I don’t have enough battery power to last 12 hours.
So, I was wondering if I could borrow batteries…. I’ll pay in beer, cash, favours. I’ll come get ’em on the 5th and drop them off (fully charged!) on the 8th (Monday). All damage etc. paid for if course! Lights are magicshine MJ 808 – aka. Deal extreme ones that lots of people have.
This would be a great help – I think I’ll need three – so it would meen shelling out £100 plus for one use.
On a related note, anyone use/d Hope Vision 1 lights? Seem to be on offer some places.
Following on from the post below this has snow-balled into an optional over nighter. So the new and improved plan is:
– Meet at Glentress Peel Carpark at 6:30pm on Friday 14th September ready to ride by 7pm
– Night ride some of the fun trails there
– Optional take away, carryout and overnight stay at http://www.bunk-house.co.uk/
– Optional ride on the Saturday
The bunkhouse has decent availability but I need to book it. If you let me know by this Thursday if you want accommodation I’ll sort the booking out. It is £20 pppn with a £10 deposit.
Tom
