I will add some routes soon enough - I hope you lot are open to offroad aswell as road rides. Do a lot of cycling as a commuter, but also the odd trip out in the muddy stuff. Build bikes too so any technical questions head them my way and I'll help out. Cheers Dan |

I think the muddy routes are the best, there is nothing more satisfying that getting completely caked in mud on a cycle. It would be great if you could post some off road routes, as they are the harder ones to find. Do you build wheels as well then? that was always tricky when I worked in a bike shop! usually threaded the spokes the wrong way. Thanks Alan |

A lot of the GMBC rides are hard to describe in a few steps but I will add a few when I get time, and also will try to get more people on the site. A mention on singletrackworld.com should help too.

I'll definately have a look on that site, see what I can do. I used to get my wheels from Wheel Craft in Clachan of Campsie, I haven't had one break yet, which I suppose is a testement to Al's wheel building!! Thanks again Dan, look forward to some posts.
