no-one heard the bump, right?

I didn't 😉

I'll be there with my Family for the first time, can't wait 🙂

My Kids are sooo excited about having a weekend away in the tent with their bikes...

I'm just looking forward to seeing the wife race the kids !lol

One thing is Fancy Dress Encouraged ? 😉

adi66 - EVERYTHING IS ENCOURAGED!!!

Each year we put on new events and give away new prizes for stuff that people have suggested or requested. Last year we had a pyjama race because a couple fo the kids had done it at Mountain Mayhem, the year before we had the Tyre Drag Slalom because someone thought it was funny (£150 pair of wheels as prizes).

I was trying to find the big "thank you" thread from last year but have been unable to locate it.Thought it would be good for anyone who hasn't been before.

Adi66 you need one of these... [img] [/img]

I going to have to get this thread removed it's way too painfull :'(

Campaign starts here to bring back Foul Geese ! 😆

a "Thinking For Tuesday" campaign would get far more support Dez.

BORING!

Just for you Dez...

😯

Nice job done on the new [url= http://www.bigbikebash.co.uk/ ]BBB[/url] web site by someone.

Looking good. That close- up lakejumper pic is awesome 🙂

That close- up lakejumper pic is awesome,

one of those is Andy N destroying the Mk1 ramp with his shin. He still has an awesome scar from the damage.

Thanks to Matt (in hospital bed) for updating site with these pics. Aspalls Cyder on draught confirmed now.
Heart FM will be there.
I'd like someone to organise bicycle jousting.......
cheers

Oh my, that sounds like a Nick idea... what could possibly... etc 😯

Aspalls Cyder on draught confirmed

Oh goody!

😉

Ok to turn up late Friday arvo as in previous years ?

yep, after 3pm ok

Numbers sorted and booked 😀

Aye, just booked too.

Is there hook up available on the campsite?

yep hook up available at either top of site on main campsite or down the bottom by lake, £10 extra charge for weekend but book with AT directly 01425 672347 and saying you are attending BBB, cheers

Today, 8 willing people started working on the 2 courses!

Oh, you guys are going to have fun!

ps. don't leave booking to the last min - tickets are nearly sold out 😯

Have you got a beer and band list yet ?

Beer List .= YES
Not as eclectic as last year
Slightly less breweries, but more Aspells Cider
Will start a new beer @ BBB thread.

singletrackmind I have emailed you about the chalet and curry!!

And I havent replied .
Yet.
Sounds superb though.

Woot! Woot!

Big Bike Bash is sold out and we are closing the website for further ticket sales!

Thanks to everyone who has bought their tickets and condolences to those who have missed out.

Sold out!

Skillz 😀

See you all there then!

Bugger .
I did kind of promise a certain couple who are away on honeymoon that I would buy them tickets as a wedding prezzie . 🙁 .
Do i need to sort out more beer?
Maybe not as Alfinsafety is not in attendance.
I hope you have organised the weather?

Also ,am i running an individual persuit race? might neeed a bell(end) to ring

Oh dear...maybe WCA can erm, help out (re. R & S)

BTW i posted on The Cycle Show's Facebook page that they should send a reported down. They 'Liked' my suggestion, so you never know, it could be featured...

Phew! Booked in Monday, glad I didn't leave it any later.
What's the drill with the campsite BTW? Set pitches or just find a space big enough? We're in a trailer tent this tear, takes up a bit more room than the 2 man dome job from Tesco we used last year...

After missing their wedding I am happy to provide full free VIP tickets to the happily wedded couple.
YGM

Yay!

Just got my BBB email, obviously a lot of hard work gone into it already.

Looking forward to a great weekend again. 8)

Answered my questions too. We're in the lower campsite so a nice view of the lake jump!

The email was sent by the delightful Anne on her day off. she popped into AT to send that and do some bits on the way to the beach.

Proper organisation this year instead of my shambolic attempts.

Surely that will free you up for some extra beer quality control test work and water pistol duties?
How's the knee btw? I have a set of crutches at home if you want them. Could probably fashion a pint holder for them...

I had been thinking of something similar

Is the camping flexible at all? As a group we have five families going and appear to have camping spread out all over the site.

Jason - I haven't been involved in allocating camping so have no idea. I will check when I go out there tonight. are you all arriving about the same time? Are you arriving on Friday or Saturday?

I think they put allocated camping afetr a few 'issues' last year where people we complaining about other people camping too close, blocking their view, blocking their car in. it is designed to make things better but clearly scattering a group isn't the desired effect so I will see what I can do.

WCA - can you check this - we also have 4 families going and the whole point is we can camp near each other, where possible. We have invited friends we have not seen for years. In the past we have pitched, within reason, wherever we want. I suspect quite a few other people will be in a similar situation.
