20th November Bedgbury - details to follow.

TedC has kindly offered to lead.

Likely



p.s. May be able to offer a lift for a few people.

Bedgebury is a good venue - if I can get the time off to ride - I'll be there

Aces!

Can I take you up on the offer of a lift DA-EVO?

Shouldn't be a problem

p.s. Went to Bedgebury yesterday, it was a bit muddy

Was good though.

pics to follow..

Was planning to pop down this weekend at some point, waiting on pic's to see which bike to take...

Anything that floats / has an outboard motor or oars. Anyway, back on topic, I put it in the calendar for 20th

Hi Ted,
Any idea what time kick-off this is yet?

I have a cunning plan to drop the family with the outlaws in the morning and go back for them later

Been a bit off radar last few days - was thinking 10:15 for faffing, 10:30 riding - but can adjust either way - with a lap before lunch and a lap after much as for the "avoid the nuptials" ride. Will post up full details, maps etc this evening or tomorrow.

More specific details...

Times & Locations

Date: Sunday 20th November
Time: 10:00 for faffing, 10:15 meet, 10:30 to start (can be adjusted if required)
Bedgebury: http://www.forestry.gov.uk/forestry/INFD-6N4EJX#find
Postcode for Satnav: TN17 2SJ

Parking is £8.50 for the day - either at the hut by the entrance on the way in, or if that is closed there are pay & display machines in the car park.

Propose meeting near the the giant pine cone thing @ 10:15 - its the yellow thing in square M6 http://www.bedgeburypinetum.org.uk/stor ... id%202.pdf (find the ice cream van at the edge of the main car-park and you'll see it).

Other Stuff
Quench Cycles have a shop on-site for those essential "forgot to pack them" items, they'll even hire you a bike (non-retro obviously), and for a fee, have a jet-wash to clean up things afterward.

On STW, there are regular questions of the form "what tyres for xxx?" In answer to this, I can strongly recommend two tyres, in the traditional one at the front, one at the back arrangement.

If I've forgotten anything let me know.

Ted, you forgot the Cake, you forgot the CAKE...


There is a cafe which serves hot and cold food / drinks. They make cakes often. They also do something called 'savoury food' whatever that is. Its a good cafe, gets busy tho so prepare for a wait.

There is also a rather civilised toilet block with showers. If it is wet, it may be worth taking a change of clothes. The Jetwash uses 'recycled' water so its probably not ideal for cleaning humans. Yes, I already asked on your behalves.

If the hut is closed, the parking machines take coins so don't forget that.

Slinks off to the corner in shame.

Been a bit of an odd weekend.

i'm up for this ride been up there 3-4 times a week for the last 2 months
