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. |

It’s something we’ve spoke about, but never got round to doing it |

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. |

"We have recently bought a couple of ebikes......Brilliant for us oldies, we will be out again today for a spin around our local area  "
Nice, love how the e-bikes have made it more accessible for people. We have just ordered an e-mtb for M  |

"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?"
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. |

Oh I didn't say that, M looks incredible in her bib shorts, I'm pretty sure you both would too  |

I bicycle regularly around North Lanarkshire with my ex wife. Bizarrely she's now my FB. Long story. We regularly fuck outdoors and have a few regular spots we go to that are actually quite public. All weather permitting of course. |

It’s crazy how excited I am about being able to cycle in the sun down to a nice cafe along the canal. Then have a pint and a bite then be on my way again. |

Was out on Saturday and enjoyed the sunshine. Coffee and bacon roll stop is always a winner.
Went out today into Fife and boy was it cold.......... Infact freezing. But nice to stop at a cafe and have a sandwich and coffee also the way. |

Happy to meet up with any fellow borders based cyclists |

Profile pic gives my cycling preference away, MTB most weekends, lucky to have a track not far from the house, done a bit of road cycling Inverness to Abdn over the leicht, two days total killer put me off the road bike for a while. Been lucky enough to have gone on holiday to Whistler, Cairns as well as Hawaii and cycled the valley that they filmed lost and jurassic park, next challenge is a charity cycling to all the SPL stadiums, for a pal with MND |

I've just bought a cyclo-cross bike to get a bit more variety in after years on an mtb. Only been out once and was shocked how unfit I am. Will need to start getting some miles in. Will be the canal paths around Falkirk for me to start and then venture further afield on the road. Happy to join anyone heading out who wants some company. |

I enjoy getting out for a wee spin.
Bo'ness to Hopetoun House or Cramond and back along the canal is a good route with little road cycling for an mtb/gravel.
Out Slamanan way has quiet roads and have a love/hate relationship with the Bathgate Alps.
Loads of routes I enjoy around here. |

Would love to meet up with any fab cyclists sometime. Based near Inverness but have ridden mountain bike trails all over.
Sometimes I do get horny on a long ride in the hills! I like fresh sweat taste and scent too.
Let me know if you're ever around Inverness area.

Clackmannanshire/Stirling area has some decent cycling routes.
Do the one through to Dunfermline a few times as a warm up to get used to it again after the winter months.
Seen a fair few lovely ladies on these routes but never had the luck of going the same direction at the time. |

"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 |

"Aye bikes are expensive. I have 2 my road bike is a 2020 giant defy advanced 1, bike 2 is a 2021 cinelli king zydeco "
They certainly are. If you can get hold of one at the mo.
A nice couple of roadies there though. Loved my defy, such a quick bike for one so comfortable. |

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. |

I think the Rallon went up to 29er the year after I had mine. It was a flying machine even with 27.5. |

"Oooo, I've not been to Comrie Croft yet. I've heard good things? Is it worth a trip.
I'm not on battery power yet, but it is very tempting. Lol"
It's so tempting, I just can't justify the price of them atm.
I've not actually been yet, but my friends love it. |

"I'm planning on doing Laggan Wolftrax in a couple of weeks. Anyone been? Any must do trails? "
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. |

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 |
