Without the welsh hospitality industry there isn't a lot else there so I'm happy to put zoe's hard earned money towards supporting a bunch of foreigners.

A little did indeed go a long way but there's none left so it must have been popular ... thanks for sorting it out.
May the bridges you burn light your way

massive thank you for stu and dee. thanks for organising a great (and unique) event. Food was a welcome treat on returning, thanks dee. And cheers for the tow out the feild stu. bloody van tyres!!
Great route - Keith and I were pleased to have been out for two days and ridden some lovely trails over mid wales - even if we were a little short at 150km. I'll be back cos i want a badge :)
nice to meet you valley daddy - i'm sure your help was appreciated - even if when we arrived you seemed to be drinking tea and eating cake
thanks all. and nice one to everyone who rode especially those who finished - some in some incomprehensible times!!
EDIT: is anyone else sunburnt!! WTF. wales in mid october. not that i'm complaining.

I rode the BB200 at the weekend and just wanted to say a big thank you to Stuart for organising and hosting, and all the others that got involved to support a very good event. I thought the distance and course were pitched perfectly for everyone, from those wanting to experience their first bikepack race over a weekend, to those wanting a straight through ride. The tough, but low cost, low-key, and no nonsense style of racing is the way forward.
Thanks again,
Steve Wilkinson

Re: Bear Bones 200 Tracking Page
Thanks to Stuart & Dee for organising, great event. This morning I think I was the tiredest I have been all year. Except for the bivy stop I rode throughout, just brief stops to get food out of wingnut.
Will aim for 28 hours next year, but unlikely to be as fit as I was this year.
If I can go quicker might get some bara brith, none left when I returned!
Spent a few hours today in Caernarfon castle, stairs were incredibly tough, why didn't they put lifts in when they built it?
