Sunday times are indicative of when you should be ready to ride.
Notes :
In all cases, there will be a Sunday Ride leaving from the car park of St Andrews Hall in Milngavie at 9 am each Sunday – watch
the club email or forum for details.
If you would like to ride outside of the days & times on the published club calendar please email around the club or post a note
on the Wordpress site.
From May until September, every Wednesday evening, an introductory ride leaves the car park outside the hall at 7pm. This is
intended to be for riders new to the club. The rides are usually 2 hours in duration.
Rides are not graded as level of difficulty is dependent upon each individual’s level of fitness and ability. Weekend Away rides
tend to be a little longer than a normal Sunday Run.
New members and riders wanting to try out a ride with the club are recommended to try a Tuesday or Wednesday introductory
ride before coming on a longer Sunday ride.
Organised mountain bike events have been added to the calendar in case club members who would like to participate want to
arrange to meet other club members at the event. It’s intended that members will organise this between themselves.
If you would like to join us for a ride please contact us in advance so we can give you advice on what the minimum requirements
are for a club ride.
Note: Following agreement at the AGM, All Wednesday rides will now leave from the club at 7.45pm sharp.
Sunday times are indicative of when you should be ready to ride.
