This will be the 1 year aniversary of the first meeting of my little band of cycling buddies (christened "team Bikes 'n' Beers" after the wobble, and the fact pur multiple camping/riding trips since always involve a fine balance of both ingredients).
We are planning to hold a small team awards session for our various legendary events and ludicrous misshaps over the past 12 months.
When we arrived at the wobble there were just 3 of us after our 4th wheel claimed a mental breakdown and wimped out. All friends through work it was a bit of poor timing as the wednesday before the event, 3 of the 4 of us were made redundant, but the weekend lifted the spirits!
By the time the Wobble 09 comes around, we will have seen our little merry troup of mountain bikers take part in 6 organised weekends away with the tents and bikes. After taking in superb sights across the country and doing all sorts of damage to body and bikes over the last 12 months the wobble will feel like a home comming.
Just sent out the google calendar invites to the usual suspects and have had responses from all but 1 within a minute giving a resounding " yes we'll be there"
Even got one of my best mates and old riding buddy from my teen years in Leeds up for it, although I am going to have to build/lend him a bike first.
It's still months away, but i'm already uber excited.
