    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 😀

    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.

    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.

    OT – if you like ginger-flavoured ale, check out Blandford Fly by the Badger Brewery. Available from a supermarket near me, and probably you.

    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?

    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

    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.
