Right, done some more thinking as regard the Big October Clan Gathering at Glentress.
What about giving it a theme, as the Tress is also referred to as GT by us lot why not make it a GT meet. For those without a GT a suggestion of bikes from one of the other big Californian brands such as Specialized, Marin, Canondale, Scott and finally anything from North America. Riders of Niche exotica might not want to suffer stone chips to their precious steeds which is not uncommon at the tress.
So tell me what you think of this, then I'll prep a Rides and Meets advert
The Big MacRetro Clan Gathering

Event themed for GT bikes or other big Californian branded bikes
Rides:
