Well, I'm back for my annual retrobike post. Hope you've all had a good year! Had a great time at my inaugural wobble last year, despite being well out of my comfort zone hill-wise, having no gear, experience or indeed accompanying mates. Anyway, just realised it's 'that time again' and...

Same here, sorry. Thought it was a Sunday do. :( Have a good one.

Maybe you should have drunk more of the dark stuff. After a winning combination of guiness, Jacobi dark, Welsh black (or is it black sheep?) and some others I can't remember, it took me - at most - 3 seconds to fall asleep. Zero time spent lying awake worrying about stuff like maintaining...

Aaaahh, throwing me off the scent with the old 'change of t-shirt' trick :wink: Not to worry, I was in the Neudd all afternoon/night anyway. Got chatting to a group from Surrey and we were all making a move to the Stonehouse about midnight when I decided the lure of the Ford Focus B&NoB was...

Well, I made it and would definitely do it again. The first half hour of climbing was a nightmare and I was thinking ‘what have I done’ but once I’d figured out that I should be using gears I never even knew existed it was a bit easier. Did the sensible thing (for once) and opted for the...

All going shite-ly so far! Arrived in Wales having left the bag with all my lovely new kit and drinking clobber... at home. Shit, shit, shit. :x Consequently, I will be modelling Tesco's Finest tomorrow. Green Events website seems to be a bit lacking in info so can anyone help with the...

Staying at my folks in wales tonight so I'll be hitting the M4 later and the red wine much later! I'm on my tod as well so will hopefully catch some of you Saturday night. I'll be in the 'Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs' shirt with a Guiness. Have a good one if you're out tonight :D

Getting a bit nervous. Common sense says I shouldn't be doing this. If only I had... any MTB experience whatsoever; the right bike; a helmet; somewhere warm with hot water to stay; had actually done any biking in the last 6 weeks, then hey! everything would be fine! Still, I'm not about to...

Trying to sort out accomodation and received this: thought it might save others some time... "I'm afraid we have nothing available now. I actually run the tourst info centre in town and know the only place in town with availability is Victoria Wells who are offering a bed /breakfast/ evening...

I know this is slightly off-topic now but... ta-daaaah! My trusty steed. I'll start fattening him up in preparation...

Thanks for the reply. I'm still keen but will have to put in some off-road training - and quick! Unfortunately, mountains, bogs, forests etc are a bit thin on the ground in Herts so I might have to improvise: say, do 100 circuits of our village taking in all the hostelries and making sure I...

Newbie alert. Christ, I am soooo out of my depth here please let me off! Heard about this event and fancied it; Googled it and this forum was one of the results. Few - really basic - questions I'm afraid: 1. I'm pretty sure what I've got is a mountain bike... I know, I'm so ashamed but my...
