You are all invited to ride and party.
I am about to hit 40 (yes 40 !), so we are having a day of bike fun down in sunny Dorset.
Offroad ride
Cafe
Bakery
Pub
Live music
Starting at... Brook Tearooms, Swanage Seafront 10.30am (arrive earlier if you want one of their fine breakfasts)
Basically it’s an off-road ride around the best local trails (not too many miles), bakeries and pubs. But best of all we have Geno Washington & The Ram Jam Band playing on Saturday night.
Geno is an original 1960’s Chicago soul act, really rather famous if you know this sort of music. A genuine 1960's Chicago soul legend. In simple terms it’s all a bit Blues Brothery.
Swanage is very much geared up for overnighters with many B&Bs, campsites, Hostels and Hotels.
Here is a link to our local accommodation search... http://www.visit-dorset.com/about-the-area/areas-to-visit/swanage-and-purbeck

Tickets for Geno... http://www.wegottickets.com/event/148278 If you coming out in the evening it’s wise to book your ticket upfront.
There are no : entry fees, marshals, insurance, permits, ambulances, marker tape, podiums, or rain clouds. Everything at your own risk etc etc.
You are welcome to try one of our demo bikes, just get in touch before hand.
Simply head down to the coast with a bike.
Geno...
singletrack forum small print: This is just going to be a hell of birthday, its not commercial, the shop will actually be closed, you are all invited. I am not making a thing on the Geno ticket sales. There is no entry fee of anything like that.
Well, I may have to come down for this one, as I also turn 40 that week! 😆
I take it a visit to the Square and Compass is on the cards?
On the basis that I'm not dead yet, that Geno's a bit of a star, and dammit, why not - I'm in.
Just need to book some accommodation that doesn't mind snoring Northern blokes.
crikey - that sounds like it's going to be a good birthday!
have you contacted Geno to see if he wants to come out for a ride during the day - reserve one of your best demo bikes for him!
Normal (29er) or fat bikes?
Every ride stops at the square and compass.
Snoring northerners. Head to the aurberge bunk house.
And yeah. With geno it will be a good night for sure.
Boo. Sounds great, but I'll be in France. Have fun!
Rocketdog. Fat is fine. Anything goes, even 26ers (which will never catch on)
even 26ers
Thats lucky! I don't want to try a 29er or fat bike incase I like it! 😉
Mrs cider is not a fan of expenditure 😥
Ciderinsport... Why not take out the demo pugsley... Get it out of your system , try it, get over it, it's just a normal mountain bike with extra wide awesome. And if you and the mrs don't like awesome then walk away. 🙂
