mountain mayhem solo loons.....

[The History Man]

And the intruder is always an option.

Thank you thank you.

Next question. The solo camping area, is that just for tents or do you have a slot and you can put whatever you want on it like the intruder, or in my case, a camper van?

Re:

Just because I like a poor nights sleep, then cycling round and round in a circle for ages, followed by a cold shower.... :facepalm:

al-onestare, the solo area is rarely used. You might as well put the camper in the RB area, that way when you stagger off the bike in the dark there is a fair chance an RB member will hand you a beer and a cold, burnt sausage before you head to the van! Some daft loon will probably be up at any given point which is a welcome sign when you've been on the go for many hours.

As far back as 1992 the magazines were saying suspension bikes are better for endurance - wise words! viewtopic.php?f=9&t=341051

Another newbie question, this time about the facilities. I see showers are provided, are toilets as well? Just sorting out the camper van hire and figuring out if I defo need to rent one or can use what's there (the site isn't particularly helpful).

According to the organisers:

Yes, you can have a camper van in the solo area, no problem. Just be aware that there are no electrical hook-ups or effluent disposal available.

There are showers and toilets on site. Also catering and retailers selling a variety of goods, including spares of course.

I've lost 5lbs (from the bike) since last year and will be riding my rigid 1993 Kona Explosif. When I get tired I'll switch to my 1995 DBR Axis TT which has suspension - all 40mm of it. If it is muddy I'll leave them in the car, admit I'm prissy about my bikes and ride my modern hard-tail If it is cold, wet and raining, I'll sit in the gazeebo and admit I'm I wimp

I'll be bringing the Yeti, KHS (probably, if I don't get the Bona rebuilt in time) and a modern 29r (for night time comfort).
