So, it's now all over at The Hub In The Forest. Glentress won't be the same again. We've lost an awesome place to chill out before or after a ride, somewhere that epitomises everything that is good about biking.

Cracking last day riding with old riding buddies in the winter sun, slotted in between a roll and sausage in the morning and soup and carrot cake at lunchtime. Trails were totally rammed, the sun shone, the car park full.
Cafe was mobbed - queues were out the door and everyone squeezed up together on tables to make space, awesome atmosphere and a celebration of all that was great about the Hub. Superb costumes too - like Freddy Mercury wasn't dead, the Spice Girls still together, Alice Cooper was making coffees and Bowie shouting "that's an order" into the kitchen.
Such a shame that bureaucracy killed a great business - thanks to Emma and Tracy for 10 great years and all the best to them and their team for the future. And my last ever bit of carrot cake...

Could bring a tear to a glass eye...
