And yet not post about the best event of mountain biking the the UK...
So who's coming, what event are you going to register to (I quite fancy the lake jump as well) who have a spare tent for me, a spare bike in 16 with euro type brake for the SO 😉 and most important, Will it be sunny 😀
What is this event you talk of?
If it is the one I think you mean then of course it will be sunny*
*alternative weather may be provided if sunshine is unavailable.
i plan on going if i can stump up the cash/time off work 😆
although the name does elude me at present.
I thought he meant the TR,and oh yes I have 'The Fear' ,but in a good way 8)
you can borrow my tent Juan, pick up from Warwick though*
*if i'm not in Poole at the time
I think the name was taken from a forum member on here who used toi post as World Class Accident.

Just been putting the lad through his paces, now he's off stabilisers.
I also fancy a go at the lake jump, but we'll see.
What could be worse than riding around with loads of people you don't know in the same place!!
Come along on the friday night visit the beer tent and then you'll soon get to know some people.
Well thats what happend last year.

No idea but doesn't apply to the Big Bike Bash
What could be better than riding with new friends and then kicking back with a beer and listening to some live music?
What?
You want camping included in the ticket price? Check
You want a climbing wall? Check
You want a high ropes trail? Check
You want stuff for the kids? Check
You want a zip wire across a lake? Check
You want kayaks? Check
You want for stuff for non-riders? Check
You want Pedalos? Check
You want proper showers with hot water? Check
You want proper toilets? Check
Let me know what more you want and I will see what I can do.
Toilet roll - quilted please - none of that IZAL stuff..... 😀
Seriously though - Hope it goes well!
We provided 96 rolls for free last year. Check
Will try and get quilted for you.
Still no one offer to lend me a bike for my missus... Apparently I have heard I'll be able to squirt on fred again... But bigger this time 😈
You want plenty of life jackets! :0)
juan - Spare bikes to borrow - Check
I know for joe public using the site they can arrange hire bike's, I'm not sure if they are able to offer the facility during BBB but it would be easy enough to find out.
Would root ginger and chilli flavoured ale appeal to anyone? its a high abv as well.
ginger flavoured ale?! Yeah!!!
OT - if you like ginger-flavoured ale, check out Blandford Fly by the Badger Brewery. Available from a supermarket near me, and probably you.
+1 for Blandford Fly, itsh luuuuuuurvley. Hic.
An event of this scale could only be happening 'oop north', surely?
The problem with Blandford fly is that they only sell it in bottles, if they sold it draught I'd be able to include it, although there beer is expensive pro-rata. There one of the local brewers to me about 12 miles, and i've worked in several of there pub's, and drank in a lot more.
The beer I have in mind is from another localish brewer, here's what there tasting notes say:
A proper ipa this golden ale weighs in at an impressive 6.4% and is so stuffed full of hops it will make your tongue tingle. the beer is dangerously drinkable, and we can also add root ginger and chilli to the cask, which is just stupid.
Haven't booked yet, but definitely going.
I have some accommodation questions - should I email or post on here?

Oh dear 😯
DezB - You can email me direct or ask on here.
Camping is included in the price. It will be up near the chalets this year so no long walk to the showers. Also means you are close to the proper toilets rather than Portaloos.
If you want the wooded chalets they have to be booked directy with Avon Tyrrell and paid on top of the ticket price. Be quick though about half of them have gone already.
Cheers

Excellent, that pretty much covers what I was going to ask 🙂
Just bought our tickets - now ...
what tyres for BBB?
how did you managed to find a bike for the SO?
I'm going.
Better be enough food there. 😀
I'll be the one with the inappropriate bike. And brother. 😉
I'm assuming room service and dancing ladies are included? Don't really ever camp but I've heard that's what you get.
stuey - hot dusty sweet single track through New Forest trees and the occaisional clay. Not sure where you are from but similar to Swinley if you have been there.
