where you can camp for a bit either side of the said event!
What is there?

Big Bike bash but way down South somewhere- might want to say roughly what region?
BBB & SSUK
Thanks Junky & qwerty!
I am new forest based, and involved with the big bike bash 😳 so will spend 2 weeks working to put it on for everyone else!
In the past I have done Mayhem, camping Wednesday till Monday (first on last off!) but this doesn't seem possible this year 😥
So was thinking, what else could I do and take the family to, and have a big party, do a bit of riding and spend the best part of a week in may, june or late july / early august?
Location - Manchester ish or South! It's a holiday so travel not so major, but has to be UK.....!.
Cheers!
How about Tweedlove? 10 days of biking events in the Tweed Valley?
Everything from Enduro, GT7 - 7hr xc race, road rides,dual slalom evening with airbag, kids events, local rideouts , BBQ evening the list goes on

Tweedlove ..[i]Seconded[/i] 🙂
dyfi enduro
thanks!
hows about something that can be done ss rigid? (my camping bike of choice!)
SSUK and a week in the car park of the Square & Compass.
But then you know that!
Dyfi Enduro - free camping and can be combined with the BBC Comedy Festival on the same weekend.
The Dyfi and HOTS fit your list of wants perfectly.
I'm liking the look of Tweedlove.
Do it - you won't regret it. There's also a bivvy night, an invitational crit race, an all day big natural ride....
Apart from the racing the other stuff is free. It's in it's 3rd year this year and goes from strength to strength.
The family ride before the road race crit, is one of my favourite events at Tweedlove.
Hopefully the bivvy night will be a little warmer this year
Bontrager 24/12 at Newnham.
The weekend of 27/28th July this year you can camp from thursday to monday and usually the showers are on from friday to sunday evenings. Loads more great woodsy/downhill/moorland witin a very short ride of Newnham park itself, and you are right near the sea, dartmoor and the south hams for non-bike holiday shenanigans. All your family camp for a £40 solo entry. Frankly I am suprised more people don't just enter for the cheap camping and have a holiday in devon...
Also if you you want to turn the tables and have Mrs ride the bike and Mr do the washing and children-minding, [url= http://www.fullysussed.co.uk/filthy-foxes-dirty-weekend.html ]The Filthy Foxes Dirty Weekend[/url] is also at Newnham and in may. 40 sheets too I believe, with trail running and xc races (laydeez only) and various other skillz/workshop/wine related groups.
Bontrager looks like just the ticket 🙂
Thanks!
My summer is looking much better now 🙂
Forgot to mention about the isotonic sports cider they have at the feed stations at HOTS.
