When we cleared up on Sunday, we found that all the beer (5 barrels) and all the cider (4 massive containers) had all been sold bar some dregs, so I imagine that there were a few "tired" riders that morning.</p> <p>In the meantime, there's a video on YouTube done by local pro photographer Matthew Bigwood -<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvWRzz-T_m4&amp;feature=youtu.be"> LINK</a></p> <p>If you enjoyed our event, tell your mates, and come back next year!</p> <p>Barn </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/heaven-of-the-south-mtb-event-19th-may-2012-spaces-still-available#post-3736922 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 15:56:56 +0000 haakon_haakonsson 3736922@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Still a few spaces left!</p> <p>If it keeps raining like this, they'll be some properly challenging riding conditions, although much of the route drains reasonably well.

Twelve of us rode the 75km route yesterday to test it out, and we're all knackered.</p> <p>This year, we've got special permission from the National Trust to take the 75km route through <a href="http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/woodchester-park/">Woodchester Park</a>, and from the <a href="http://www.breakheart.org.uk/">Breakheart Community Project</a> to take both the 75km and 50km routes on a lap of the Breakheart Quarry.</p> <p>As per last year's event, we've got camping, live music, beer, roller racing, cider, plus hot showers and improved catering. Did I mention the beer?</p> <p>Entry via the website <a href="http://www.heavenofthesouth.co.uk/">http://www.heavenofthesouth.co.uk/</a></p> <p>Any questions, drop me a line (email in profile)</p> <p>Hope to see you there!</p> <p>Barn<br /> (On behalf of the HOTS committee) </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/anyone-else-get-the-beer-munchies-after-cycling#post-3202771 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 14:10:26 +0000 kinda666 3202771@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p><blockquote>Ringo - Member<br /> Ride ain't a ride without the beer after </blockquote></p> <p>Or before in your case!!
