  1. Well i just wanted to know if anyone has any proposeals for
    where to hold the BMW this year (UK)?

    just that i was thinking of organising it down here in South
    Wales. there is loads of Muni to do ranging from really easy
    to 'stupidly' hard.

    the well know routes we could do are Afan Argoed (has 4
    routes ranging from 13-40 miles!all of which are wkd )and
    Cwm Carn (not sure about how many routes but the one i did
    was awesome) but we could also venture up to the Brecon
    Beacons (about 40mins from afan) and ride there (could ride
    up Pen y Fan the biggest mountain in southern UK of 886m).

    there are also many downhill tracks the the bi*ers use that
    are really good (which have some nice big drops in if ppl
    want to do more extreme stuff)

    also when would it be? i know its useually in mid sept, when
    could most ppl make it?

    just a thought let me know what you think

  2. That sounds really good to me! The best dates for me would
    be the 18-19 of sept or 25-26 sept as a preferance for the
    whole year.

    we would just need a campsite to meet up at!

    cheers Toby

  3. it's usually either september/october or april/may. I
    organised it last year, so it ended up in October due to my
    lack of organisation (and also partly due to wanting to
    ride snowdon).

    Don't ask on the forum what dates are good for people, it's
    a waste of time as everyone wants different dates. Look at
    the calendar on unicycle.uk.comunicycle.uk.com and then select a
    date that doesn't have another event on it.

    If you did it early in the year, then we could have two BMWs
    if someone was feeling like organising another one in
    september. Although the Brecons are supposed to be quite
    muddy, so maybe September would be best?

    Sounds like a good idea as far as location goes.
    Personally I'd plan to do one day built trails and one day
    of naturalish trails, because just riding built trails
    could get a bit dull. It was definately a good combination
    at the last BMW.

    Bear in mind at a bmw you have to cater for quite slow /
    beginnery people as well as good people. There are people
    who find 8 miles is quite a long distance to ride in a whole
    weekend and people who ride 30 miles plus both days.

    All you do to organise it is find a campsite, post details
    on here, on Roger's event calendar etc. We haven't done any
    group bookings or stuff like that for BMWs before, it's up
    to everyone to sort themselves out.

    You've obviously ridden most of the rides you're thinking of
    which is the most important thing. If possible when you're
    planning, ride every route you're thinking of suggesting
    just to check there's nothing unexpected and so you can give
    a good description of what there is.
