I'm going! Can't decide between my on one or my Trek FS, heard the trails are techy so may take the FS.
Posted 6 months ago # -
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!

Depends how drunk you get.

O Yes!
'Dangerous Dave' will no doubt be playing a few classics - again. Bring back the stair diving!

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!

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.

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
Posted 6 months ago # -
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?Posted 6 months ago # -
If you call into the Neuadd they'll direct you to the camp site and relieve you of £8.
Posted 6 months ago # -

Anyone need a lift over from Worcestershireland (wok?) on the saturday?

You need to start the ride with a hangover.
Posted 6 months ago # -
