The routes that we will be riding have been chosen so that they are suitable for the kids that'll be there (and the scared adults that can't bare to keep up with the kids :think: )

Meeting postcode is GL15 4JD, this is the postcode for the fountain Inn but we'll be parking up a hundred metres or so down the road providing that there's enough space.

I'm not sure how far people are traveling so is 9:30 ok or would the majority prefer a little bit later?

I wasn't planning on being home by 11 :) How long depends on the crash/insanity ratio of my lad though i must admit. He's been throwing it in the floor a bit too much lately and 'bruised bone' is being something of a standing joke in our house when said in a particular way :)

I'm sure we'll be able to egg him on enough to break something this time. Tell him he can teach me how to jump too :D

Chocy and a couple of his friends are coming down too.

He enjoyed his trip round llandegla, likes the fast swoopy stuff, not so keen on rock gardens or jumps, so pretty much like me really.

Hell yeah, there's off piste stuff all over the place, so much so that I haven't even found loads of it.

As I said at the start of the thread, if we get to the point that we've done enough in dowies/shutcastle we can relocate to bitch hill or mallards pike or pedalabikeaway all depending on what people want to do on the day. :thumbup:

and my mate's wife is on a connondale moterra as well.

Be aware that there's no mobile phone signal in Parkend but there is patchy coverage up in the forest. I'll be parked up in a silver merc vito with a bike rack fixed to the back.
