Post covid get together please

[Mike]

Can we have a massive get together and do something fun when all this sub standard is finally over please. Im missing all my smelly (post ride obviously)bikepacking friends now and the social crack we had... thanks

[Bearbonesnorm]

I've got some plans fella but it is part to plan when you've no real idea when things will become 'post'

[RIP]

Please can we have a mass-bivvy on Mike From Bromsgrove's Bridleway? I'd like to collect all the swear words issued by the farmer when he turns up and finds 200 Boners kipped out.

We could each announce ourselves in turn to him, it would only take a couple of hours.. "Hi, I'm Stu from Pennant", "Hi, I'm..." etc etc.

It could be like a scene from Spartacus....

[Escape Goat]

I'd like that.

Def up for a Scottish meet-up once things are possible again. Fingers crossed things are easier by May, so we don't miss the best of the midge-free weather again.

I’m up for that Mike. Be good to see people

You were sliding down the road on your arse if I remember rightly reg.

[BigdummySteve]

Aye, we all were at one point or another. I distinctly remember descending Shropshire’s finest hill headfirst, on my back. You can’t buy’ ‘fun’ like that. Happy days

Count me it

[RIP]

Ah. It's all come flooding back! Ridiculous way to spend a weekend .

You certainly can't.

It's all coming back now. I'm sure I remember standing(?) on that slope after my own first fall at an ice-bound dodgy corner, wondering what I was going to do next, then you slid past me at speed (headfirst on your back) in a sort of very relaxed reclined pose with a cheery wave and a smile, perhaps even a merry greeting was exchanged, closely followed by your bike. I remember it all being quite bemusing. As Taylor says a short while later I enjoyed an exact replay of your fall myself, but road-based, shredding my brand new Marmot jacket. Marvellous entertainment.

It must be something about the Mynd. Wasn't it the previous year when we ended up on the tops in that mental icy foggy snowstorm thing, when even the professional Welsh contingent had abandoned proceedings and retreated to the cafe? Total lunacy and quite hilarious. I keep all my BaM photos on this laptop so there's a folder for each month. I've just looked and curiously the folder for December 2018 is missing!

Memories like that makes a man, quite what, it remains to be seen, but it’s those memories which keep us(relatively) sane in these times.
Roll on the next BB event, I need it.

[RIP]

What a fantastic photo Stevo ^. Gawd I miss all that. Open-heart surgery on MaM's bike - "chainlink tool please, nurse" - Scottie, Si, MaM, Ben, meself, and you on camera?

Oh dear, mates, laffs, challenges, madness; I'm getting all emotional now, time to go and have another beer .

That is a glorious photo, well done that man!

That really was a very good trip. Some very happy memories created there, and lots of type 2 fun
