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...

Me too.

Should be windy and wet, as usual!

I'm up for it, though I might just have to tag along with others as I cant be arsed coming up with a route.

WE? Whats that?

Winter Event...

Si

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)!

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....

You know better than to ask

Aye twas a cheeky long shot . Consider it unasked .

What, beyond the obvious?

Wales has many beautiful valleys. This year’s grid references will take you to some of them.

To my mind, this means hills.

Sounds like a strapline for the main page Chris.... or....... yes.... A STICKER

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?

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.

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?

Not any more Reg. Our Collette has moved on to pastures new but still mucks in at the WRT ... lovely baps that girl

ta chaps

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

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

The All Points North thread reminded me. Looks like I'll be in Wales next January, best see if the Wynnstay has space left...
