• Re:- looking 4 a buddy to do the trails Hi Mark A few of us head out one night a week and a day at the weekend if you are up for it. Mixed range of fitness and ability so no worries there.

• Re:- to shy to ask Hi Andy, Honestly, no need to be shy OR embarrased. There are 125 members in the Club and that covers everyone from complete novices to the best in Scotland. We cycle in groups of all abilities and take our time at each feature, stopping and practising til we sometimes get it right. There is always someone happy to pass on some informal advice on technique. Club night is normally Thursday so you're more than welcome to meet with us at the Learnie car park. Or if you really don't feel that confident, drop a note here or at himba@hotmail.co.uk and we can arrange to take you out individually. Don't hold back tho or you're missing out on a fantastic sport. Cheers, SteveB

• Re:- Learnir red Hi Diesel, no replys yet. I wasn't involved with the decision or the work (thats my get out!) but I understand that there have a few (mostly unreported) injuries on the fun park. The thinking was that if you can't do doubles and hit the second hump, you break a collar bone/wrist and if you CAN do doubles, it surely doesn't matter what's between the 1st and 2nd hump cos you're clearing it anyway. You can probably tell that I'm not a jumper, but we're always glad to hear views of members and non-members alike. Would be good to hear what you think would make it better.

• Re:- Learnie I had a thrash around Learnie recently too and agree with Kenny. At the top of Blue three, at the view point with the bench it is reasonably easy to cut across onto the black run. The problem is working out in which direction the black run goes. Its fair enough just now when its not too busy, but I think it would be a good idea to put some direction arrows to stop idiots like me going the wrong way. Kevin

• Re:- replys No replies yet to your question about Learnie. If there are any replies, they are normally posted within a day or two. The Guest book is mainly used by non-club members so we have no control over how many people read/answer queries. Club members mainly use our own "Forum" page within the Member's section of the web site. Maybe none of the readers has ridden at Cannich to answer your question? There is a wealth of info about Learnie in the "Trails" section of this web site. Why not visit it to see for yourself - club mostly go out on a Sunday or sometimes Thursday for a night ride.

• Re:- replys Learnie's a good place to start - not too many surprises on the new tracks but you get a much heightened sense of speed. A 10 watt light with an hour and a halfs burn time would be a good start - but be warned - its addictive and there's no end to what you can pay for lights.

• Re:- Just a Yank lookin' to crank... Hi Donovan, Thanks for visiting the web site. Thats a big question - the best trails in Scotland? I'm bound to be biased and say our own ones here at Learnie and Contin, both about 20miles north of Inverness. Learnie is still under construction but should be finished later this year - I should have some new pictures on the web site then. Contin is much more natural single track with some very challenging rocky out crops. I guess the real question is what kind of riding do you like? The Seven Stanes are great purpose built tracks as is Wolftrax at Laggan. But there's also a whole wilderness in the Cairngorms south of Inverness if you like open free riding. And of course, Fort William just had the DH, 4X and XC World Cup last week - you can gondola up and then blast 2.5km down one of the best DH's in the world. Best thing to do is keep checking the web sites, pick up some of our phone numbers and give us a bell when you get over. How's the cycling with you? Good trails? Keep in touch and all the best.

• Re:- Trails Open? Hi Doug, see the reply below. Things are well on the way to being finished - but as you can imagine, there is a lot yet to be done. Much of this is by a contractor, but there is also a fair bit of work put in by the club members. As such, its difficult to give a definite opening date, but if you're in the area, check the web site and give one of the contacts a ring - there's sure to be some good riding. Thanks for your comments and hope to see you some time. Cheers, SteveB

• Re:- Trails Open? Hi Gmark, Thanks for the offer - any interest is always greatly appreciated. There's only one draw back - because this is a formal project with earth moving and tree felling equipment on site, Forestry Commission can only accept help from HiMBA Club members (this is an insurance issue). I'm not touting for business - but why not join the club anyway? (Or, maybe you have??) Again, thanks for the offer of help.

• Re:- Trails Open? Hi Doug I am delighted that you like the current Black trail. There are many of us who feel the same way about it . Sadly it is under threat because it will need work to protect it and improve some of the northshorey bits. There is sadly some discussion about abandoning it as ride. A small group of us are determined to keep it even if it means a breakaway group. If you like it as much as you say, let your feelings be known to the HiMBA committee.

  From Steve B	Reply	Sent 15/08/2005

• Re:- Stlolen Cycles Coming from Cambridge where bike theft is rife, I can say that the best beterrent is to have your bike security marked by an organisation like Theafbeaters. This typically includes etching & engraving but also the fitting of a transponder within the frame that makes identification easy. If it can be proved the the bike is stolen it makes it much harder for thieves to pass on the goods and hence they will go elsewhere.

The woods behind Fort Augustus have a few fun trails in them, and a wee bit of North Shore stylee stuff that was very entertaining, and somewhat submerged! Managed out 3 times over the week - we were on for every day up until the Corrieyairick Pass... I took a tumble coming down there in a white out, and managed to knacker up my right wrist, leg, arm and shoulder all in one fell swoop (on the 2nd). Haven't ridden since :-( Look forward to comeing back up sometime when the weather is better and the days longer to try the Laggan and Fort William trails, as well as sorting some unfinished business on a couple of the more ambitious routes we tried but ran out of time/light on!

• Re:- Rogart/Brora Hi. As mag says we have not done the big ride but I have ridden a lot up that coast. You can start south of Golspie and follow the coast sticking to coastal footpaths and sheep trails. Just past Golspie there is the Ben Bragie (spelling?) estate, head up there and then fly back down and carry on up the coast, through Bora and up to loth, again on sheep track and foot path. Only a few bit require you to get off. You can ride right up to Helmsdale but it gets tricky when the bracken is up. Alternatively you can take in a fantastic loop to Helmsdale up Glen Loth. Use the single track road up there but I reckon you could use the fishermens footpaths to descend into Helmsdale.

• Re:- Re-Cycle those bikes We still cycle our old bikes!!! No, seriously, what kind of advice are you looking for and what does your organisation do? Feel free to contact me direct or use these pages - or better still, join the club - its cheap, fun and promotes good cycling in the area. Cheers, Steve B

• Re:- Trail access Hi, we are currently formalising permission with Forestry Enterprise on the use of Learnie. Check this page next week for a proper reply. But why not join any way - its a good way to ride, keep in touch, go on cycle away days ( and weekends) and discounts at Square wheels) - watch this space

• Re:- Trail access Des you can ride anywhere you want under the new legislation (see articles) but we put a tremendous amount of effort into trail building and club running and your membership helps with this and petitioning for more trails and open access. If you ride Learnie and Contin once each that would mean that each ride would have cost you £4.50 Join Himba for £9.00 and help make the Highland trails second to none. One final point, you do not have 3rd party insurance when you are not a member.

• Re:- nice site Tim When you click on the movies, they should open up in a small pop-up window. They use the Flash plug-in which is pretty standard on current machines. Let me know if you are still having problems.
