Malverns........

Has anyone ever been to that particular bike meet? If so, is it any good?

No idea what it's like now, but went when I was younger. It was an absolute blast, although the
emphasis seemed to be rather more on the partying than the riding.

Up the M5 I think, west midlands, in the UK.

The Malvern Hills Classic as it was know was a pretty good event, I went to all of them, being a
Malvern resident. large crods, big beer tent, usually good weather, lake jumping, trials, dual
slalom! you get the picture. Anyhow that all finished several years ago when the organiser decided
to sell up shop, much disappointment all round.

Anyhow, this years Saab Salomon Mountain Mayhem will be there, at Eastnor Park on the end of the
Malverns, 24 hours of a fairly hilly course, I am definately looking forward to it.

:-)

Ahh, but Wiltshire had some very good trails. I was never a hardcore biker, but i've done a fair bit
of travelling on my bike. I had one particular route that would be just over 30 miles, (doesn't
sound a lot, but it's a lot to me.) 🙂

30 miles of ST is a lot in anyones book. 30 miles on the road is a lot if you're trying to pace with
the Class 3 or higher guys(gals) (on a mountain bike, hey, it's all I got).

I'm going right through Avebury on the way up to the Cotswolds. I'm thinking I should rent a bike in
or around Brighton and carry it with for the week just in case I see something I want to ride (and
for when the sun comes out).

If anyone sees someone driving quite erratically on the wrong side of the road.......?

Good luck to you, Avebury to the Costwolds alone is a trek-and-a-half. 50-60 miles, maybe more.

Sorry, meant to say driving right through Avebury. I'm not sure I'd want to do 60 miles this time of
year on a bike.
