It’s going to be an awesome night of food, drink and lots of dancing. What better way to end the year and raise some money in the process?!?
Buy tickets individually or book a private table for up to 8 people…just click on the poster to go to the online shop.
Charles Mountford has been riding a Transition Blindside over the past few months thanks to Keith from Max Bikes PR. Here’s his review after plenty of fun down the allotment (both), and some epic riding at the Megavalanche and Avalanche Enduro… (click on the image to go to the full review).
We’d all like to say a special Thank You to Jonny Ashelford for organising the Follow Me raffle that raised over £100 for the BCC!!
The film was cracking with most people struggling to refrain from making “brappp” noises or giggling like little children at the awesome trails and tricks being drenched across the cinema screen.
After watching Follow Me we were treated to a screening of Seasons with the added bonus of some french subtitles….all we can say is that we wish we’d paid more attention as none of us can remember what the french for “gnarly” is… “le gnarrrr” or something like that I guess…?
Cheers to the following companies for donating to the raffle: John’s Bikes, Thor, Follow Me and KCNC and to all those who bought tickets and came along for the ride.
…and so it’s really important that all mountain bikers show respect to walkers, dog walkers and horse riders when out on the trails.
Unfortunately on the 29th May a horse rider had to be taken to hospital by ambulance after falling from her horse onto her face due to a mountain biker startling the horse she was riding. The incident occurred in Longleat (on a bridleway) when the mountain biker rode past the group of horse riders at high speed rather than slowing to a reasonable pace and giving way. Unfortunately the mountain biker rode off leaving the other horse riders to pick up the pieces.
This is very rare, but does emphasise how important it is that we all take care when riding our bikes in or around Longleat, because other then our Allotment the trails are shared by so many.
So please, ride responsibly.
We’re giving away 2 x year memberships + 2 x BCC T shirts at tonights Fund Raising raffle. So go on, buy a strip….
Date: Thursday 17th June 2010
Time: 20:00
Place: Little Theatre, Bath
TICKETS ARE ON SALE NOW FROM THEIR BOX OFFICE (just click here)!
This year we’re taking 2 test bikes to the mega courtesy of Max Bikes PR. It’s gonna be ace!
The Marin Quake XLT 180 7.9 and the Transition Blindside with their long travel, considerable seatpost extension, single crown forks and double ring + bash set-up are aimed squarely at those doing the Mega or any other all day alpine riding.
So, anyway, before throwing ourselves down any massive mountains we thought we’d take them down the Allotment for a thrash about and some pics… (click ’em to make ’em bigger)
Full photo set (and some context) to follow…
Hello
We’ve agreed to help set up and pack away for this years Elizabethan Evening in Corsley at the weekend (12th and 13th June), and we need all the help we can get!
We did the same last year and were kindly rewarded with a donation of £500 (which paid towards the Ride Leader Training)!!!
All you need to do is give a few hours to help put out chairs, benches and tables on Saturday – then put them away again on the Sunday.
Each day will start at 10:00am and finish around midday (we were given bacon baps last time!)
please please please put your name down bellow if you can make either, we will need all the help we can get!
Full event details here: http://www.bath360.co.uk/whats-on/elizabethan-evening-goes-victorian (it’s a great event!)
We are currently fund raising to buy a brand new (4.5mtr x 4.5mtr) event shelter for use at races, dig days, TickerTapes, dinner ’til dusk and all other club events. We will also be commissioning a feasibility study and overview plan of MTB trail development at Longleat soon so are fund raising towards this Also. This is something that will really help us move the development of XC, Skills Area and DH trails forward…
So who can help?
