“Carving” The Kilpatricks

Posted on 22/01/2012 by Graham

A few weeks back Gerry suggested a loop of the Old Kilpatricks, just west of Glasgow followed by a bite to eat at a local carvery.  The combination of bribery with food and a bike ride convinced 16 of us to head out on a very cold & blustery day. Continue reading →

A great day out up a wild and blustery old kilpatricks hills yeasterday good call Gerry /Gav. The carvery did meet expectations Gerry..sure you’re not on commission.My rear hub trashed must have been the weight penalty after the carvery.Next time hopefully better weather.Still central heating via nips of 12yr old highland park pushed me through the worst..hicc…it’s the way forward.

ps// natures kiss recovery cream (£8.99 in all good bike shops) rubbed into tired legs absolute bliss(certainly beats the old method of a “rub doon wi a cauld pie”) ready to go at it again except rear wheel in evans for rebuild.

King and Queen of the Hill (Glentress)

Posted on 20/01/2012 by Grant

There’s a new event happening over at Glentress on Sunday 27 May. Organised by Tweedlove and POC, it’s an Enduro style event (Enduro like rally racing, rather than 12/24 hour). Thought some of our faster Trail/All Mountain riders might fancy giving it a shot.

King and Queen of the Hill.
