Plenty of time, I reckon we'll even have enough time to stop and buy you a refreshment at the Sherrifmuir Inn before you head down to Dunblane.  ;)

Broken bodied after helping my brother with some heavy lifting in the garden last night. I may never stand straight again.  :P Hope you all have a great day, it looks like it's going to be a stunner!

superb  8)

would be even better if somone could just arrange uplift for SilverGlen  ;)

We met Ian, StevenS and Stu Thomson on top of Ben Cleuch. I offered them a head start on the descent but was obviously a bit generous as we didn't manage to catch them again.

best conditions of the year for me with an absolutely stunning ride to Glendevon and on to Blackford.

After lots of food, coffee and cake at Baxters we slowly wound our way up to the Sheriffmuir Inn where, as the only non driver, I was foced to sample the excellent Lia Fail ale.

Despite weary legs we descended past the Sheriffmuir monument and then Kippenrait Darn Walk return (passing Steven climbing back up the road  :-\ (sorry Steven didn't realise it was you until I was past)

Excellent ride - superb weather and company - what more can you ask. *   Well done to Ruaridh for making it round despite finding yourself still at Glendevon reservoir at the time you were expecting lunch at the Sheriffmuir Inn.

*well maybe we could ask that we werent back to heavy rain by next week  :(

Nice to see you all, we did Andrew Gannel then Tilly Glen. Conditions were the best of the year so far.

I have no idea why I was pedalling up to the inn at half five? Much confusion about where my wife and child were and an aborted trip over the hills to Menstrie.

Looks like we were all on the Ochils this weekend!

In the afternoon Me, EddieA and Rich went up Ben Cleuch and then across to Kings Seat (I think)and down into Dollar. Only saw 2 walkers the whole time - was a beaut although horrendously hot on the first climb up, was nice to get near the top and have a bit of a breeze.....

At least one SBC "Vet" was trying to beat 4hrs for the Corrieyairack! (Fort Augustus/Garve/Kincraig) So thats where all the good Roadies on MTB's were when I was needing a lead out for the 26 mile road section on knobblies.  ;)

Sandy Wallace had a good team in but don't know their times yet - SBC/Velo/Velocity/FF team for next years 20th celebration?

Made a weekend of it and went to Wolftrax at laggan on the Sunday.

Cheers Mark,

Arch.
