My youngster, who introduced me to this forum, is annoyed as there seems to be an 18 age limit, except for a single lap kiddies thing.
Seems a bit unreasonable/unfair as he can ride me under the table.
Otherwise we would have been there.
I will probably be doing this again this year, last years course was brilliant fun. ( funny how the memory of the climbs fades to be replaced with endless techy singletrack ).
I went to the 'after party' last year. It was at the Fortune of War bar, right on the seafront, under the arches. Free bar which ran out just before I got there at almost 10.30- 11! Groups of folk drinking and chatting etc on the seating outside, plus anyone else who was just there...
It was a good vibe, and not obviously bikey.....if that makes any sense.
