A tour of some of the best trails in the Mugdock Park area and also heading further west towards Strathblane and maybe a bit of the WHW (exact route will be improvised). Terrain will be varied with mixture of single track, smooth trails, rocks, roots, logs, and a fair bit of mud and water. Minimal tarmac. No long climbs or descents, just lots of interesting sections strung together, with as many stops as required in between for catching up and respiratory recovery. Should be back in daylight but still bring lights anyway please. Maybe don’t bring your gravel bike.
Please complete the ride form in advance of the ride.

I can’t make the Sunday ride so here’s a similar option for the Saturday. Route dependent on those present, involving a cafe stop at some point. No helmet, no ride.

As mentioned at the AGM, we’re pleased to announce that GMBC are hosting the 2nd round of the Scottish Mountain Bike Orienteering Spring League, sponsored by Alpine Bikes, on Saturday 20th April at Mugdock Country Park.
If you are unfamiliar with MTB orienteering (called Trailquest in the past) then the objective is to visit as many of the 30 checkpoints as possible within the 3 hour time limit. The event is within a defined area and a map and list of checkpoints will be provided on the day. It’s up to you which route you ride so you take in as many checkpoints before your 3 hours is up.
The event is open to adults and children over the age of 15 (or over the age of 12 as part of a generations team). You can enter as a solo or a pair. There will be a fantastic selection of prizes & spot prizes for competitors. The event is now available to enter via this BMBO page.
Prices to enter the event are as follows: Continue reading
Following the great effort last spring I’ve spoken to the Mugdock Ranger and we’ve arranged 3 dates during Spring to some more much needed trail maintenance. It’s a great chance to learn some new skills and put something back into an area that we get a lot of enjoyment out of. Mountain bikers are one of the few groups to actively volunteer their time in this way and it’s greatly appreciated by the Rangers.
Please take a look at the dates below and post up if you’d like to help out.
- Saturday 2nd March
- Saturday 16th March
- Saturday 13th April
NB: sessions typically run from 10am to 3pm, if you have tools then great, if not then we should be able to supply some
Yesterday saw a committed group of 10 volunteers from GMBC & Meet Up turn up for the latest trail maintenance session. The day’s work was again focused on the Riverside path as some of the earlier work needed improving now that we’ve learnt a bit more and the path has had some use since the it was first worked on.
