We are a family run business and we've been based at the stunning Drumlanrig Castle for more than 20 years now (crikey....).We do bikes... we fix 'em; sell 'em; build tracks for them; build 'em; race 'em; hire 'em; and, talk 'em;But most of all, we just get out and ride 'em - and so should you.

There’s a tear or two in my eye today. A force for good has gone, and left the world far poorer for it. Thank you Dolly ...

Hi Folks
I’ve got a few folks using ‘messenger’ to contact me here at the bike shed, that I can’t msg back.

I’m just getting ‘this person is unavailable on messenger’ …

If you haven’t got a response from me can you check your settings or msg me on 07722828139 and I’ll respond ASAP.

Sorry for the inconvenience..

As usual I’ve generated a wee bit of confusion!!
Where are you Rik??
I need my bike fixed but you’ve not told us how 🙄

So there are currently three ways for me to get your bike fixed.
1 - call me or msg and I will arrange to collect your bike from your home and then bring it back fixed 👌
2 - leave the bike at OST and msg me that you have and what needs done and I’ll collect it and return it mended 👌
3 - call me to make an appointment to drop your bike at Hillend, which is about 1 km up the Dunscore Rd from Auldgirth, on the left just before the Glenmidge junction. It’s a sharp turn into the steading so be careful but cars and vans can get in fine 👌

This should be of interest to everybody who follows this page.

If you can get along to the drop in sessions, then please do and give them an idea of the importance of recreational mountain biking at Drumlanrig to this area.
Maybe reopening the once beautiful trails down to and along the Nith Linns could be a priority.
Perhaps creating a ‘friends of the trails’ type group to formalise volunteer maintenance parties.
But whatever you’re after either drop in and speak or if you can’t, drop them an email.
