:xmas-cool: The Annual Retrobike Christmas Ride 2013 :xmas-cool:
The Turkey Twizzler ~ Cannock Chase
:: Date: Friday 27th December 2012
:: Distance/time: 18 miles or so spread out over a day's riding with plenty of stops and banter. Several short cut options available too. Bring your own Alka-Seltzer.
:: Meeting at: Birches Valley Car Park, Cannock Chase. Please arrive by 10 a.m. for a 10.30 a.m. start.
:: Directions: Postcode: WS15 2UQ
:: Terrain: Forest trails, mainly man made.
:: Route: The main ride will be the 'Monkey Trail' which we should complete by mid afternoon.
After a stop for food we always say we we'll head off for some more riding and perhaps a bit of off piste stuff. We probably won't though depending on the quality of the mince pies, mulled wine and old bicycle tat on display.
Just like every year it's time to re-wrap all the crap you were given last year. This announcement thread is no different...
It's the day after Boxing Day and you'll no doubt still be bitterly disappointed about the lack of NOS 200GS in your Xmas stocking. You'll probably want to drown your sorrows in fizzy beer and consume your own body weight in mince pies and mulled wine.
If so, get a grip you big fat yule log!
This will be the perfect opportunity to escape from the Xmas food fest and shed a pound or two in the Cannockshire mud.
This ride has attracted nearly 50 riders in the past so it's a great place to put some faces to those forum names.
After some riding there just might be a fine selection of mulled wine, mince pies and maybe some beer.
There will also probably be a bit of a cycle jumble going on after the ride too, so bring along any bits you want to swap, sell or give away as part of the festivities.
The winners and runners up in this year's Retrobike National MTB Series will also be announced after the ride if I can fathom the complex equation required to work out who won.
There will probably (probably won't) be a few people keen to get there for an 8am 'early bird' ride. For the rest it's a 10am meet up with a 10:30am ride start.

It just wouldn't be Christmas without it. (probably) :xmas-cool:
