    Wales Cycling Weekend: 8th or 15th September

    Anyone fancy doing some mountain biking in Wales on either 8/9 September or 15/16th September?

    Plan is to travel to Coed-y-Brenin on Saturday morning, ride one of the routes, probably the MBR to cater for most skill/fitness levels and get a cheap bunkhouse for Saturday night so we can have a curry and a beer, then come home on Sunday. High end bike hire is available from Coedy so theres no excuses.

    Coed-Y-Brenin Routes

    Bunkhouse - £12 per night with secure bike storage and bike wash.

    Bike Hire - Estimate IRO £40

    Beer & Curry - Estimate IRO £40

    So budget £100 plus fuel for a good weekend with the blokes, if your coming from a greater distance i'm sure we can arrange for a bed on the friday night to make travelling a little easier.

    Interested so far:

    I would love to join you, and I REALLY need the exercise!!

    But, the 8th is my birthday and I am off to Donington for the Renault cup, and the weekend after is the weekend before my wedding, I plan to spend most of it panicing!

    Don't worry Wouter... Your wedding did come into the equation when Richy and Steve were discussing this last night.

    Yep, anyones welcome, turn up, get one your bike and breath out of your arse for 3 hours up and down some of the steepest Wales has to offer... all in the name of fun!

    EDIT/ Hey Alex, you'll make Brunty's day if you turn up.

    Go on then - I'll try to get some riding in before then, but the weather has been so bad I'm totally out of shape this year. Anyone up for sharing lifts? 8th works better for me.
    It's been a crazy year, But through all the damage done,
    I have turned and I have learned, To make next year a better one,

    Thanks. Was just trying to get a rise though

    If I came it would be to sit around with a book, and join you in the pub afterwards. Mountain biking sounds way too much like hard work

    Hope you have a good time guys!

    Guys, i'm going to book the bunkhouse this week, I'll most likely need to pay a deposit, please say now if you can't make it otherwise i'll take it as you can. I don't need any money, you guys pay on the weekend.
