WE 2022
In!
Booking form was in the blinking Shop not the Events page so that fooled this idiot for a bit. Thanks Allen . Monkees outfits anyone?
Looking forward to a replay of the storms and 50-60mph winds of 2020.
Not entered before? Be warned you might bump into this bunch of bikepacking gangsters somewhere, on day release...

Re: WE 2022
First BB event I have entered or attended since WRT 2020...
Feels like forever. I am looking forward to it regardless of the weather... (may regret that)!

Re: WE 2022
Excellent! The gangstas are back!
Climber's just reminded me of Pleasant Valley Sunday's lyrics. Which were rather a pisstake of the Normals TBH of course - in the same vein as My Pink Half Of The Drainpipe. Would Stu be happy to divulge his thinking behind this year's title? I guess we should just wait and try and work it out....
Right, Frankie Boyle's on in a minute....

What, beyond the obvious?
To my mind, this means hills.Wales has many beautiful valleys. This year’s grid references will take you to some of them.

Re: WE 2022
Fairly tempted by this, never done a BB event before...assuming this is fairly relaxed and doesn't require heroic fitness, as you choose how much you want to do?

Re: WE 2022
It's only the BB200/300 that have a specified route. The other events are just a series of grid refs provided by Stu that you may choose to visit should you wish.

Re: WE 2022
Booked me train tickets so all set. Always get off/on at Caersws, thought about Mach instead this time but may well end up doing some of Mach-LBM route during that weekend so rejected that. Anyway, yet another opportunity to battle the sheet ice up/down Llawr-y-glyn in the dark.
Stu, any update on the Wynnstay situation please? I suppose I could just drop her an email - what's the landlady's name again? And talking of ladies of LBM, is Ms Baps still at Machinations / Caffi JoJo or have I just got totally confused as usual?

Re: WE 2022
Just booked the luxury penthouse suite with jacuzzi and sauna at the Wynnstay for Friday 7th. Pauline said she recognised my name which is a bit worrying

Re: WE 2022
So is the pub at the Wynnstay Arms the venue for drinks the night before?
I'm heading up for the WE but haven't ridden since the beginning of Sept cos of my knee and not sure how much i'll be able to handle on the event itself. Will treat it as a slow pootle to kick off another BAM attempt so some social drinks the night before would be good

Re: WE 2022
The All Points North thread reminded me. Looks like I'll be in Wales next January, best see if the Wynnstay has space left...
There are theories at the bottom of my jargon.
