Right, are we still on for Saturday? If so, what time suits? I was thinking meeting about 11am in the car park at Carron Valley OR meeting at a location and then head up in a convoy - if so - how about the car park at the Granada Services at Junction 9 of the M9 motorway?
- that should have the finish point at CV, you enter your start point and it will give you directions. I've got a red Fiesta and a white..erm...Whyte 146S - wearing glasses and probably a blue/orange helmet.
Almost last call for those interested in coming along (or those who can make it along) - 11am at the car park - it's £3 parking (allegedly the money all goes to trail uplkeep but that is debatable!) - I'll be on a white Whyte with a blue helmet with orange and dark glasses.
Well the bike has now been washed - the strange creaking noise wasn't me knees but the new bottom bracket...suspect I've managed to knackered the bearings in it already!
I really enjoyed yesterday - I was utterly burst for the first wee leg warm-up but felt a bit better on the actual ride...legs were sore and speed wasn't present but it was good having a leisurely pedal and chat.
I hadn't realised the pub had changed to a guest house either!
Unsure of next location, but open to ideas...need to sort a date for the next ride as well!
Well I'm not sure what my Saturday availability will be like soon because I'm going to be driving for an agency on a sat but I'm free 2 Sundays per month!
Right, anyone up for another meet-up? Perhaps 29th or 30th November?
A few suggested location (I'm not going to suggest Glentress or Laggan as they both have felling going on) -
Comrie Croft - erm...Comrie - up the A9 past Dunblane then kind of turn left for about 20 minutes!
Carron Valley - Denny
Dumyat (old-skool and 'proper' mtbing as it isn't a trail centre!) and the surrounding area) - Stirling
Beecraigs (my memory of the routes is properly sketchy but it's a decent place for an explore). - 'Linlithgow'
Blairadam (really can't remember any trails there but I have a contact that I'm sure could furnish me with details!) - Fife
I've had a couple of hours playing in there before, just need to know the routes (but I can't remember them just now - might do a check on Strava!)...however, I'm happy to go elsewhere, need to see who can make it and where we are going!
Hi, I'm afraid I can't make this weekend now...work and work stuff is getting in the way...mildly annoyed to say the least! I'm now not free until January - anyone up for something then?
