MTB Winter 2010
Its that time of year again, the clocks have changed and we've jut about
descended into total darkness. It can only mean one thing and thats the
return of the winter mountain bike rides!!
The plan this year is broadly similar to last year, meet at a predefined
location somewhere in Caithness or occasionally Sutherland on a Wednesday
night, probably between 1900--1930, get organised and head out for a cycle.
For those that didn't manage any cycles last year, the cycles were never
more than a couple of hours long and the pace was that of the slowest group
member. We didn't lose anyone and everyone made it back home with their
bikes - honest!
but first of all I'll need to do a bit of housekeeping. So if you want to
be kept up to date on where we're going this winter can you reply to this
email and I'll set up a new distribution list.
Last year we went to:
Reay, Broubster, Dunnet, Achairn, Rumster & Camster forests
and then also did routes on:
The Thurso skyline including; Thurso East and Holborn Head, Dunnet Head,
Golspie and John O'Groats
This year there's plans to add a couple more routes, Ben Dorrery, Loch More
& Altnabreac, Bein Nam Bad mor & Loch Scye and possibly Helmsdale, Borgie
Forest and Bettyhill and of course any routes that anyone else would like to
do.
So, if your keen let me know.
On a side note there are plans to enter a team of 4 into the Strathpuffer
24hr event on the 15/16 Jan 2011.

If you are interested in doing this event and are looking for others to
form a team then let me know and hopefully we'll get a few other teams
entered also.
Cheers
Allan Sutherland
