From the 3rd to the 5th of September 2010, Betws-y-coed will host the second OWMTBC, the 'World Championships' for Old Mountainbikes. The 2009 event in Holland (!) was a roaring success and would be great if anyone fancied popping along to ride or spectate, albeit at short notice.
A few more details here http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=108356.
Me and a mate were planning on going to Betws-y-coed this weekend.
Does anyone know if the OWMTBC will affect those wanting to use the trails, but not involved in the old stuff? - parts sectioned off etc.
Nope, it won't affect others but do say 'hi' (or laugh, up to you) - and if you're up on Friday night there will be a Concours and Chips down by the railway station at about 6.30.
Cheers for the update BT.
Didn't want to drive 4.5hrs to find trials closed for an event.
EDIT: TRAILS. Although old bikes should be a crime against evolution and therefore worthy of a trial. 😉
Think that clashes with Llanwrst tri too...they used to run bits of the marin so look out for lots of fit lasses in wet lycra tri suits....hmmm surely those retrobike bearded weirdy folks factored that in? 😉
PS Bearded weirdy was a JOKE..as a clean shaven Fuquay owner!
