I've been thinking about this recently too, and since I went to the
North Shore in Bristol, I've been desperate to try and organise
something for there. Its an incredible place, and they'll open it any
day of the week if there are more than 7 people (paying £70 between all
participants I think). They'll allow camping in the field above the
course for large groups (I think, might be worth an e-mail if we
seriously consider it)

As far as the course goes its incredible, technical swoopy downhill
courses, rooty cross trails & of course north shore obstacles. It is
also only across the motorway from the quantocks. There's a lot there
for any rider.

I'd love to finally get myself to a BMW. Here's another vote for a
weekend in the peak district. If it were in the peak district ther'd
probably be a contingent of about 4 Macclesfield people I could get
together.

When you are cycling all day showers are definitely a bonus😄

Have you been up to Glyncorrwg, further up the valley? The new visitor
centre is really nice.

I've heard the campsite at Glyncorrwg was a good place to have a hot

i cant mike it before the first week in october though :-(*

I'd definitely be up for sorting something out. I can e-mail them about
procedures for weekend usage of the site (if we can camp on the top of
the hill, if they'll allow under 16s on the course under conditions,
cost, etc). They should remember me If I mention being a unicyclist, the
look of shock on the receptionists face probably hasn't worn off yet
😉.

I'll be at university in Southampton from the 2nd of October onwards so
any weekend after that I'll need either transport from the south coast,
or picking up from a bristol train station (probably temple meads, it's
direct)

We need to consider weather also. Dry is probably the only option for
the North Shore, it is mostly chickenwired for traction but I don't
think we can rely on that totally.

If you are organising something for Bristol why not have it during the
bristol circus convention when there is already a big event on with
loads of people who can ride a bit so that you can get more people to
turn out and you can spend a few days there.

Bristol circus convention runs from 17th to the 25th of september if
memory serves so it seems like an ideal opportunity.

It would also mean camping could be done with loads of other people too.

Good idea, though bear in mind that people, once settled into the
Brizzle atmosphere, tend to be reluctant to leave the site.

A few years ago we decided to do a Muni ride to Wales from the Bristol
convention. Sadly, only three of us turned out (Richard Loxley and
Jamie Fletcher being the other two). Mind you, ISTR it *did* clash with
a BMW...

It would be nice to repeat that ride with a few more people. Just avoid
the day when some people will have to be back early for show rehearsals
(probably Friday, although it might be Thursday). The day we did it we
had to cut the ride short in order to get Jamie back for rehearsals -
although we did, just about, make it into Wales.

Not to thread-jack... or sound like a volunteer... but it may interest
some of us to note that the paths on Snowdon will be open to cyclists
again from October (AFAIK).

Anyone up for a spot of Snowdon trek/decending, maybe combined with some
Nant-yr-Arian trails (*winks at Phil*) Saturday and/or Sunday?

I'm a carless student person, so can't really claim to organise things,
but I can mutter and encourage mutuality.

Oct 7/8th?

Sam, feeling rather un-munied by doing excessive road riding for
months... as Persil say "dirt is good".

Nant-yr-Arian? Oh, if we must... 🙂

I'd like to do Snowdon again. The last time, back in March, it utterly
kicked my [censored] and left me battered and bruised after two major crashes;
I want to settle the score!
