If you were not at the BBB this weekend well how to say.
You've missed a fabulous event
You've missed a amazing atmosphere
You've missed a swiss like organisation
You've missed some of the greatest STW caracters
You've missed the "wickid awsome" bands
You've missed the great coffee guy
You've missed the delicious food
You've missed the lake jump
You've missed the tremendous trail
And more. I just ran out of superlatives
We've missed the pictures too. Got any?
No mention of ladies. Sort it out man.
Oh and pics please.
Ah, But I'd also miss the 11 hours of my life traveling there and back, and the £100 worth of fuel to do it. So I'll not be too upset about it! 
Hw won't mention the ladies because he is to modest. Or he may be a gate.
I second what Juan says. An excellent weekend.
WGAF.
Sounds AWESOME. I doubt it was though.
Here's some pics
Trying hard to ignore the pillock that is Kingtut. Aaaaand failing.
Auuw diddums.
666..... brilliant.....just brilliant ... 
Loved it. 
Well I enjoyed myself . Ok so it could have been drier, but most of the events went ahead anyway. Good turn out and still a relaxed atmosphere. A surprising good XC course , short but hard work. Great beer tent ,quality hot food , good racing , great prizes, well supported by Torq, Mule bar , Hargroves, superstar, USE, Buff, Soreen, MBUK, Green Oil.
Lots of hard work, and lots of happy people.
Short course xc racing is hard, and it doesn't help when the kids are lobbing bean bags / water bombs at you , especialy when you take a direct hit to the b******s.
made my eyes water
Nick told me that racers like getting hit with water 
Did Fred crap himself again? 
Glad people had a good time.
I'm knackered after last nights marathon effort.
I'd like to thank Nick and all the other volunteers for the effort that made it the success it was, also UK Youth for letting us use Avon Tyrell , the trade stands and sponsors for there support, and other companies that gave us freebies and discount (while not being official sponsors).
Also a big thank to all the people who paid money to come along to the event, as your the people who make the event what it is.
Had brilliant time, as did the kids. Thanks to all the organisers - hope Nick's shoulder is ok!
Just seen DezB's pic - that's my daughter with the 'small' water pistol - seems quite accurate!
Yeppy, a great weekend of family fun and plenty of entertainment.
Yes Lovely lady in wet white lycra!!!! Go Mule Girl
We drove down from just north of Gairloch - our first BBB.
3yr old and 4yr old want to go again - 'even if it rains'
I'd reiterate all the positives from above- reminded me of 1st/2nd Malvern's - but more family friendly.
- Thanks Nick/Luke/ everybody involved -
PS I really would like the recipe for the coffee pecan cake - delicious.

WGAF.
bummer. Looks like fun
Yup. Superb event, even the 'mizzle' didn't have any effect on it. The atmosphere was brilliant, loads of people of all ages having a laff and really getting into it.
Photos
Phew! I took nearly 1200 pics over the weekend. Got them all off the camera before I flaked out last night, I'll edit them today and hopefully get proofs online tonight. I'm off on holiday again on Friday, so I'm going to struggle a bit if anybody wants any but if you can bear with me I'll sort them when I get back.
And there's hardly a face on them without a big grin.
WCA pulled it off again. God knows how, but he did. 
666..... brilliant.....just brilliant ...
I do believe that was no 'accident'.......
And the Short Track Elminator XC was superb, just a brilliant format, short, sharp, technical and FUN to race and watch.
The middle class at play...

Well done Nick and everyone else involved in putting on the event. It was good to see that you had taken the comments from last year on-board, and it really added to the event (if only other event organisers listened to feedback about their events...)
We had a great time, I think my daughter was one of the few not to go away with a prize, although she is only 21 months old and did manage to eat her weight in free Eat Natural bars over the weekend so she wasn't too unhappy
Oh and well done Juan on completing the night race on a girl's bike
yeah but it's a kick ass girl bike
owww
but a really really special owww.
Thanks guys, I think everyone enjoyed it, we had no disasters, and did most people got prizes
Top weekend, thanks all
I would like to add two things:
1) Juan is much nicer in real life than on the forum
2) I beat him on the short track eliminator
3) Not because I pushed him into a tree on one lap
Just editing my pics here at work, and I've got a couple of comments
DezB took the Inappropriate Bike race FAR FAR too seriously: Giro Xen, Camelbak, SPD shoes. To ride a kids bike, what, 200 yards?
Rob the Brewer can't POUR a pint to save his life!
The 2 Torq-sponsored riders that did the Short Track XC Eliminator, got beaten and soaked to the skin by waterpistols and they are smiling in EVERY pic I have of them. Top Team!
BBB rocked!
The XC racecourse was as good as any I've raced on.
The bands were excellent. The cider made me very happy (and drunk).
Nick was unbelievable. He needs a medal for creating so much laughter and joy.
Here are some pics:

Hey! It was the only thing I had the remotest chance of winning! Then beaten by 2 blokes on 26" wheel bikes.. pah!
