Spring Epic 2014

[velomaniac]

OK folks time we got down to planning our Spring Epic.

A weekend away somewhere involving a challenging back country mtb ride, beer, banter and laughs.

Where/what/when, suggestions please ?

What do you mean by spring? March/April?
I'd suggest Glen Doll again, but that would depend on any late snow.

 

[The Ken]

usually April/May and an overnighter with bunkhouse or camping.

Spring is defined by you guys but April/May would seem more sensible in our climate, and this quest for a spring epic comes from gmac who as a DAEC could have asked this question himself. I seem to end up pushing things forward all the time.

Anyhoo, Glen Doll is a good sounding suggestion, any others ?

Overnighter with bunkhouse and nearby available beer/grub is a must !

Thanks for posting this up V, been meaning to get this started myself.

I'll throw Devil's Staircase / Ciaran Path into the mix too. Also recent thread from Singletrack for a bit of added inspiration:

So choices so far are:
Glen Doll
Ciaran Path & Devils Staircase

Ben Nevis loop for me.

Circuit of Ben Nevis and the Mamores.........

Also can we have an Indication of preffered month, we can nail down exact date within month later:
April or May
I'd prefer May if only for the better chance of good weather.

Were you thinking do it in a day, or overnighter halfway round K? Is there a bothy?
