All members are encouraged to post any rides they are going on that other club members could come to: if members wish to organise their own trips between those detailed in the programme feel free to do so through the forum.

Tuesday Night Ride

For seniors we have now got a regular Tuesday evening ride which sets out from either Crieff or Comrie at 6.45pm. Please check the forum posts and the email to find out the location. These are becoming well attended as the light improves, and are suited to whoever turns up.

Weekend rides

We are currently in the proccess of drawing up a seniors weekend ride list. Please check back here in the coming weeks to find out more details. We are looking to arrange a club outing to Glentress also in the next month or so, and will be in touch with members soon to discuss the arrangements.

Juniors

 The juniors ride calender will be on alternate weekends.  Derek Dobbins will co-ordinate these sessions and exact details will be made available through the email list nearer the time. If you’d like to find out more please email Derek at ddobbins@btinternet.com
