Need to get my finger out and get my bike re built

gmac is talking about doing Mt Keen on the Saturday morning as well, and I'm planning on joining him.

Any interest from the massive? Could be an option for those of you can't make it on Sunday, or just fancy maximising the amount of riding over the weekend. Fair warning - it'll be a lot of climbing over the 2 days.

What's the script with the bunkhouse? Have you guys booked a dorm out? I now have a bike with proper gears so was thinking this could be a possibility.

yup, want to get two days riding outta this. there's a number of the eastern munros that are recognised as bikeable, mt keen was the original that sprung to mind, mayar and driesh are in the vacinity also. I mentioned this to our local host, clubby who has a number of ideas. so i'll be in touch with him in the coming weeks to get the benefit of his local knowledge and intend to plan two routes, one up to or around munro height and a lower level route if wind &/or snow come into play.

Darn - right on my doorstep and it still looks as if I'm elsewhere this weekend :facepalm:

Oh well, have a good un ;)

FFTC, just phone up and book a bed. I've booked one of the 4 bed rooms and Gmac has also booked separately. We've gone for room only and planning to club together for breakfast food. Planning a meal at the hotel on the Saturday.

Edit:

Not joining you lads, just realised I have a very heavy workload, quite physical, commencing Monday 14th first thing in morning. Thus it would be stupid of me to knacker myself the previous day or even weekend. Cronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME) is a barsteward :evil:

I'm not riding up a Monroe no matter how good the view from the top and one days backwoods mtb'ing would have more than been enough for me. But as my job pays the bills I need to be fit for it so that one day is now a no way :roll:

Thus a bunk if ones needed is now available.

Have fun !

Shame Velo, but fair enough.

Not being one to let a grave go cold, I'll take that spare bunk then if no-one objects. :D
