2023 Subscriptions gregbalden Posted July 23, 2014 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 I'm interested in trying some mountain biking. Now, I have no experience and I only own road bikes. What I'm suggesting is one Sunday or any other day ( week days also) a trip to glentress. Bike hire seems to be around £20. obviously those with bikes can take them. Car shares also to keep the cost reasonable. Is there any interest for this?

Guest EPCC Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Working at commy games MTB till Tuesday Then working road race Sunday then Holiday Why not Cathkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllanC Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 I just bought a new Scott Scale 970 from Thomsons and I'm itching to try it out. Never done anything like that before so would be very interested in this, especially if someone was prepared to drive (I don't drive). I will follow this post with interest.

Guest Kennyb Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Cathkin is ok but it's in the middle of apache country. Much nicer to head down the borders or aberfoyle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EPCC Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Also know nothing about MTB but thinking easy to get to route looks hard enough for me (novice) and don't see the need to drive Bit then again I am not available for ages so ignore me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Subscriptions AlanT Posted July 23, 2014 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Not for me, I prefer a solid feel under my tyres, but enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions gregbalden Posted July 23, 2014 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Shall we say 24th august? Fits my diary so I'll probs go and give it a try anyway to be honest. Will be double checking with work tomorrow I can be free that day, and will post around 1pm to confirm or not. Driving I'm happy to take up to 3 folk with no bikes or 1 with a bike. I'll be hiring. Cathkin, sell it to me? Why better? Bike hire? I know GT has different levels for various skill levels that was a selling point for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllanC Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Greg, I'll keep an eye on the post to see what the situation is with cars. Ideally I'd like to take my bike to give it an outing, so I will see how things pan out with the thread. Allan gregbalden 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kennyb Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Cathkin is actually a very technical course. 24th probably good for mw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
