306oc Summer Session - MTB - Scott - 27-10-2013
Seems that there are a fair few of us on here that are into our mountain biking, so let's see who would be up for a big mountain biking weekend in summer. Location yet to be determined, based on who is going and where the largest group of attendees are based, as well how far people are willing to travel. Same goes for dates, we'll work out who is interested first and rough times of availability and go from there.
1. Scott - Any time

Swinley forrest, bracknell (its where I go with the lads from work) or aston hill as im only 3 miles away (bbq at mine afterwards) gets my vote, there is proper single track trails there
RE: 306oc Summer Session - MTB - Niall - 27-10-2013
Chris have you ever been to Chicksands? Not too far from you and there is some great fun to be had there! That gets my vote!
RE: 306oc Summer Session - MTB - Scott - 27-10-2013
Aston Hill and a bbq would be quality!
RE: 306oc Summer Session - MTB - Dum-Dum - 27-10-2013
CHicksands is nearer you i thought mate, thats where the lads from work went last week.
Scott depending on how fit everyone feels we could actually ride from mine to Aston hill then back via the farm shop to get meat but it would be a killer ride.
RE: 306oc Summer Session - MTB - Niall - 27-10-2013
Oooh good shout!

RE: 306oc Summer Session - MTB - Dum-Dum - 27-10-2013
I want to go now!! Ive just seen videos of their "surface to air" run.
I will say I dont want to do aston hill in the wet, its all hard pack chalk and that is like ice when its damp. My bike is currently f*cked from a crash on wet chalk already
RE: 306oc Summer Session - MTB - Niall - 27-10-2013
Just watched that my self! Its annoying there is nothing like that round here.
Isn't the olympic down hill course open to the public soon as well? Never actually seen that but could be good for another half day out.
Must start looking for new forks!
RE: 306oc Summer Session - MTB - Dum-Dum - 27-10-2013
I need a FS frame and better forks (and straightening out my back wheel and getting a new tyre and tube and new cranks too.
RE: 306oc Summer Session - MTB - Poodle - 27-10-2013
Could well be up for this, too much of a wuss for the interesting stuff now, but the single-track looks awesome.
I've got an old dv rim here Chris, if you want it, be impressed if you bent that. It's a v-brake rim though, currently on a non-disc hub.

Its a Halo Tornado 36H 4x wheel so I've done a good job of bending it, its bent both up/down and left/right as I slid sideways out of a chalk gully at about 25mph into a tree.
The tyre /tube has a massive bulge in it too. Gonna get a pair of Tioga DH 2.1/2.3 as I used to love them tyres.
RE: 306oc Summer Session - MTB - Niall - 27-10-2013
Tbh i always found that Halo always had a reputation for being pretty soft. Even my old Mavic XC rims were bullet proof but then its also all down to how the wheel is built. Building wheels well is a bit of an art!
RE: 306oc Summer Session - MTB - Pete - 27-10-2013
Depends how far south it is, But I'm always game for playing on the pushiron..Though I've not been on either of mine for months since I ruined my back
RE: 306oc Summer Session - MTB - Carlos182 - 27-10-2013
Always game for a ride. Plenty of places around my way, 3 trail centres within an hour of so of where I live
I manage a trail centre/bike hire/cafe so should be able to sort bikes etc for anyone thats interested.
RE: 306oc Summer Session - MTB - Jonny81191 - 27-10-2013
I'm in! If people want, there's plenty of space here to stay, and arguably some of the best biking in the country!
Failing that, you all know I'm game for travelling anywhere in the country for making win
RE: 306oc Summer Session - MTB - samass - 27-10-2013
Game!
RE: 306oc Summer Session - MTB - Dum-Dum - 27-10-2013
We should do it like the day before a meet or something.
RE: 306oc Summer Session - MTB - Rich306 - 28-10-2013
Sounds good to me, although i think i need to get out on my bike for some practice soon haha!

Surrey hills is a good one too, and could *possibly* arrange camping at mine. No twats invited. Sorry Niall
RE: 306oc Summer Session - MTB - Jake - 28-10-2013
6. Jake anytime
RE: 306oc Summer Session - MTB - Grant - 28-10-2013
Why don't we push the boat out and go to South Wales or somewhere?
Cwm-carn and the similar, like port Talbot, have some epic places to ride. The dragon downhill course, and within Cwm-Carn itself there is Free-ride,
North-Shore, XC, Downhill courses and a jump park.
There's cheap local accommodation too!
RE: 306oc Summer Session - MTB - Dum-Dum - 28-10-2013
I f*cking hate Wales!!!!!
RE: 306oc Summer Session - MTB - Ed Doe - 28-10-2013
I'm up for this too! Any time at this stage but we should get a date firmed up soonish as were all busy so get booked quickly!
We could also do north Wales. coed y brennan is pretty awesome, and they hire self catering chalets just up the way for very cheap (I did a stage weekend up there earlier in he year and it was something like 85quid a head for 2nighfs but that was including canyoning....
Re: 306oc Summer Session - MTB - Pete - 28-10-2013
+1 for north Wales. Llandegla and Brenin are ace, Arthur stiniog is a good uplift day aswell. Had a long weekend playing on them earlier in the year and it was awesome, infact we've already sorted next years trip
RE: 306oc Summer Session - MTB - Grant - 28-10-2013
^^^Thought you might crop up with that suggestion
Its an epic corner of the world for MTB TBF
