Crudfest

Thewaylander

So Gaz on our ride this morning mentioned Crudfest this year. So i thought about possible options.

Was thinking July August time for warmth cos i like it warm! And as for place i was thinking maybe FOD. the reason being there is some XC and DH there to play on, and some of the guys don't really XC much these days would be good to have riding options for a weekend.

Lets have some thinking..... Scary i know in the crud section.

Ohhhhh will there be BEER? No probs will bring my own.

I am a possible.

I'm going to say that's not a bad idea, but purely for selfish reasons which would make it easy for me

Amen to that, end of thread /

I always feat it will descend into what about here, what about here. I think the best thing is find a half decent number of people to agree on somewhere and some time, then anyone else can join in or not. Fod is cool though, especially as you can do verderer dual slalom, get to the point of the final downhill before it splits, have a handicap so weaker rider starts first them at the split choose your route wisely and first to the bottom wins

Might have to do a seperate one for southern Audi drivers. With Bolli of course instead of beer.
Better have my man start polishing the bike.

I believe it was cannock last time. Plus your right the trail blows out its ass hehe.but in all seriousness can't have it there every time

Thewaylander

Also the dh at fod is perfect length for push up that would work well

Somewhere in the middle of the country. Like Wharncliffe.

FOD not been there yet.

I vote FoD. But being a posh southerner I'll fork out a whole £25 or whatever for an uplift instead of being a tight fecker and pushing up :-)

Trick with fod, its faster to push up than take the uplift

I don't vote because I never turn up

IOM is right in the middle of Britain.

If it's going to be a full weekend, I don't see why it couldn't be somewhere like Glentress / Inners. If it's an entire weekend, it's worth the trip up there.

I'm with the tailless cat.

FOD seems a bit too close to Cannock really, which doesn't seem to make sense if this is designed for everyone. One up in Scotland would be worth a weekend, definitely!

Once you've decided on a place, I'll let you know if I'm coming or not

You've not got a good one up in Scotlanding in you.



Besides, as we all well know, as this is a crudfest, it'll turn out like the rest of them. Loads of big talking, then 3 people turn up.

sheepsteeth is going to make sure he sticks a vote in and then not go anyway.

CWNT votes for Rhyl

sheepsteeth concurs

FOD sounds like a plan, but for those that don't want to do the DH, the Verderers trail is pretty crap (its only a blue)... I could imagine a few disappointed people lol.

Personally, I'd vote for Cannock :twisted:
Good trail.
Good DH.

MountainMonster

I'm all over this if there is somewhere nearby to rent a bike from?

Thewaylander

If some one can suggest somewhere in scotland that has easily accessable xc and dh in one area great otherwise your missing the idea and not helping. Because I'm hating these silly red trail centre trails at the mo.

cat_with_no_tail

Without getting your handbag out waylander, I already suggested Inners/GT.

They're literally a couple of km apart, offer very good XC and DH, there is a town nearby for supplies, LOADS of campsites, and bike hire available for those cm,oing from further afield. Plus there is loads of natural stuff about too.
