Now that the wether is getting better I am keen to get out on my bike more. Wondering if their is any more fab cycle fans on the site. Always thought it would be fun to ride out for a ride. Lol. The motivation to go the extra mile.

We like a good spin in the sun, ideally with a coffee/ cake stop or two. Are you pitching for road, mountain or somewhere in between?

I (mr) ride road, mountain and gravel. Mrs enjoys a bit of mountainbiking and leisure riding. Cake and coffee stops a must.

The idea of mixing sex with rides doesn't actually appeal all that much to me, afterwards maybe a different story although usually all I can think about after a ride is food.

Did someone say cake?

A group cycle would be a great wee social meetup but would need to cater for mixed fitness/abilities.

I'd be happy with road or mountain biking.

Wolftrax is great! The top red is a fantastic trail with great views. The Black is probably 1 of the most techy descents around. There's a big feature on the lower red called Aires Rock. It's pretty intimidating but it's rollable with good brake modulation.

Might have to do some research... thanks for that

"Frequent most of the decent natural trails around the central belt, less into trail center stuff

I've still got so much to explore. Love the trails over at Innerleithen on both sides of the valley and I'm hoping to catch a couple of spots further north as I head up yo Inverness in a couple of weeks

Golspie is about an hour north of Inverness. Absolutely incredible riding! Great trails, great views. 1 of the best descents in the whole country. Do it. "

Missed this one!! Top tips. I'm in that area too

Depending on your budget, any decent bike shop will keep you right, plus anything near the £100, it's good as that's were u are paying for good brand gears like shimano 105 groupset

Anyone else over the Clackmannanshire area? Most times I’m out and it’s Solo. Would be good to have someone else to share the ride with and help push the pace (and me) to get better times.
