Just got to GLASTO!!!!

[BarneyRubble]

Retrobike 2013 national event, the ride to Pilton!

I'm in as it is 6 miles from my house and I go every year anyway!

Having heard the noise it generates,youre there whether you want to or not

Great bit of the country you live in

Born and bred, so im'm biased, but I think it is the best bit.

On the years I've been to Reading I've witnessed riots, ridiculous amounts of fires

That is true, I remember one occurence at Leeds where a Breakfast bar was set alight. . . . needless to say the MASSIVE gas canister inside didnt take kindly to this!

along with far more urban hipsters and 'gap yah' scenesters than at Glasto. That's not to say Glasto isn't inundated with a different type of festival-goer, but that's part and parcel of the age of the internet. Gone are the days of getting up on Friday morning, heading to the ticket shop, then off to the bus station for a £3 return.

I'd argue that most walks of life have changed a hell of a lot in the last decade, mountain biking being one of them - the demographic is a lot different nowadays.

I think you have probably hit the nail on the head there. . . . . .ergo. . . . I am getting old
