Sunday Shiggy...

Three of the girls in our cycling club set a trail around Braunston-in-Rutland, lovely scenery, weather kept off, great pub afterwards... brilliant company, but only one problem... MUD, glorious mud...

We end up walking a good fifth of the trail due to the totally water logged fields.

Brilliant to catch up with everyone after the New Year...

On On...

More Sherwood...

Had another great ride around Sherwood last Saturday, doing loads of single track though the woods, and this time we found the freestyle area, which we only touched on briefly, but will definately be going back to at some point.

It's amazing the amount of balance you require when going through the trees at 2 MPH, must admit you don't very far at that speed either...

Great day, also met two nice chaps, that have now joined the Q.U.A.F.F...

Blogging is this era's diary, a very public one........

To Blog, is for me a way of expressing your feelings and thoughts that open a window to your soul. For others, it's somewhere to entertain the World, further a viewpoint or special interest. It is a medium that can be addictive and restorative for the Blogger. Who I think should try to be honest, readable and blog with style.

Thank you for inviting me to share this blog and post weekly to it on social Mountain Biking, long QUAFF's and Events. But not long cold solo rides!

I recommend Northern sections of the Lon Las Cymru trail as a supported Long Quaff on Mountain Bikes, including selected red or black trail stages. Restricting it to Mad Bastards and geographically to Snowdonia plus the Cambrian Mountains in the month of May!

Nash Bash 2010

The arduous job of organizing a 100+ person event starts in earnest this month...

The event is still some 19 months away, but getting things organized is becoming a full time job, for me at least...

My brain is constantly on the go, thinking about this, that and the other. Cost, mechandise, arranging meetings... it's none stop, and that's the easy tasks...

We are filling up quite fast now, and might actually have to limit the entry due to the trail sizes, etc, which is actually a disappointment, as we hoped that the more the merrier!!!

Will have to organize a diary of events for the web page, to show people what is happening, etc...

More later...

Mad Bastards Weekend...

Well we were driven by the excitement of our trip to the Marin Train to organize a weekend event for the die hards, the lunatics amongst us, the ones who live life to the full... THE MAD BASTARDS...

I think as a rule, you can't class yourself as a real MB unless you have appeared in a copy of MBR readers photos!!! This weekend should incorporate a lot of opportunities for such press coverage...

We are planning to visit the sleepy village of Coed Y Brennin, early May to see if we can successfully navigate around the 'BEAST' trail, and survive...

This will be a bit of a tester for a lot of us!!!
