Anyone going this year?
Any news on the route/facilities/entertainment!
aye... me and t'missus will be there 🙂
Dave (RM blizzard) and Lou (SC Juliana)
I'm going! Can't decide between my on one or my Trek FS, heard the trails are techy so may take the FS.
techy-ish in places - mostly slippery, with occasional hellish dark/wooded steep descent with no grip. there is also a large slick rock section with 3 foot deep plunge pools that can be fun 🙂 on the whole though it is pretty standard bridleways and fireroads.
the weather is the biggest variable - last year was the first time I've ever seen the sun on the wobble; normally it is bloody freezing with sleet or heavy rain / drizzle.
Can't wait!
Dave
I'll be there on a totaly inapropriate bike.
i will be there on my knarlcorelite bike
I will be attending (dependant on my flaky m8's) and am a wobble virgin... will 6inches be enough? 😉
will 6inches be enough?
Depends how drunk you get.
O Yes!
'Dangerous Dave' will no doubt be playing a few classics - again. Bring back the stair diving!
Marko - Pissed as a fart and camping in the mud. Bliss
Bring back the stair diving!
there was a bit of a clamp down on that last year... probably for the best - watching the cream (no pun intended) of welsh manhood diving naked down the dirty stairs in the neuadd is a sight I have tried hard to forget!
Dave
I'm there too, just blagged a bed in a mate's campervan as well. Which is very nice.
Meeting up with Tonyplym in the Neuadd on Friday night.
[Note to self- don't forget to pack paracetamol]
I'm really looking forward to a quiet evening to recover after the ride:
thats my footage !!
its a bit wobbly cos we were stod on the tables pissed!!
ill be there again
Hey good footage, captures 'the moment' well!! 😀
Sadly not me, got to work that weekend..
Erotica @ Olympia
Oh well, s'pose there is worse jobs.....
10 of us heading up
Done it many times but have missed the last 2 years due to broken collar bone and then a business trip
Awesome weekend. Beer, biking, mosh pit. Great fun 🙂 Journey home to Bristol can be pretty grim though 🙁
Usually do it on a HT but my lower back is giving me a bit of grief so may take the full suss. I would say a HT or short travel FS would be the best options.
z1ppy - No real technical challenges though some good all round winter tyres can help in the typically very wet and slippy singletrack
It will be slippy as a greased up ell swimming in castor oil. Trust me on this. It always is, even last year, on the new 'sunny' route.
'nother virgin here. Just got pink slip from Mrs S for saturday/sunday. Will also have a wholly inappropriate SS with me.
what's the score on camper vans - is it OK to park at the Neuadd?
If you call into the Neuadd they'll direct you to the camp site and relieve you of £8.
great.
Anyone need a lift over from Worcestershireland (wok?) on the saturday?
will a 29gnar bike be too much?
Just do what i did, leave the bike at home 😀
actually, thinking I might head over on friday night.
Friday's where it's at.
You [b]need[/b] to start the ride with a hangover.
Stalking's where it's at for the RAW. You don't need a bike, just a fixed, unfocused stare... 😯
will see you there Stuy - and reacquaint you with your forks too 🙂
is tollah going?
is tollah going?
It's his birthday treat, wild horses won't keep him away
Will you be attending psling?
Hoping to Stu. I'm working up to Saturday noon so probably just for Sat night / Sunday 🙁
Be good to catch up with you again.
Is Gordon still there?
Is Gordon still there?
saw him riding last year on the saturday.
he hasnt owned the Nuedd for years now . i think he still runs the some of green events stuff but not the wobble as far as I know
It's not the same without the gordon briefing in the square
It's all,professional and safe now,, but still a Great weekend
can't wait
If anyone is after dry and warm accommodation pls see my thread [url= http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/real-ale-wobble-accommodation ]Lasswade[/url]
We're heading over first thing tomorrow morning to ride before the rest of the attentionwhores arrive.

😉
You forgot to mention The Bog Of Doom that you need a fatbike to get through without sinking up to your neck. 😉

Or let a fatbike go through first in order to rid the hole of water 😉
Only one more sleep to go 🙂
A great w/e awaits.
Tend to do the ride then drink. Think most of my group will be drinking on route. Just makes me feel utter crap the times I have done that. Each year I need to remind myself of that. Better being home, dry with pint in hand
I'm going along with some mates but haven't registered for the ride. Are there likely to be spaces free if I register there tomorrow or does it normally fill up?
Always been able to register on the day in previous years so I guess it should be the same this year
Good stuff, thanks for the reply. I'm really looking forward to this. Even the weather looks like it won't be too bad.
Bikes ready.
Bags packed.
Time to start on the beer. 😀
