I'll be heading over just as it draws to a close on Sunday.

It's the only time I can make, but happily entry prices are lower then too!

Just got back after a great day out. My first time visiting and I really enjoyed it. So many bikes I'd never consider owning but loved admiring them all.

Went on Friday, thanks to some trade tickets from my LBS. Oooh! Get me!

Some well I bought out bikes, some meh, some WTF.

Enjoyed it though.

The Shand guys liked my Gnarpoon t-shirt. I managed to upset the Chris King guys.

Did you ask why their headsets cut your steerer in half?

Mate and I went on Friday. Apologies to those we spoke to after the fourth pint (Abby Tools and why imperial decimal is just plain wrong).

Seemed a lot quieter than usual on Saturday, previous years it was difficult to get near some exhibits. Still, made catching up with old friends easier & the queue for coffee was non existent.

Saturday afternoon seemed quiet. We got down about 11:30 and by 12:30 we seemed to have no problem getting close to the bikes we wanted to see

Beer n pizza was good - and some lovely bikes / tools.

Was my first time - and definitely not my last. A trip to The Barley Mow helped round off a good day

Went yesterday - it was pretty quiet so had no problems having a good look at what we wanted to look at. Gravel and adventure was definitely the most popular. Nice to see a few smaller makes / brands and being very approachable / happy to talk about what they're doing.

Couldn't go this year, but finished making a frame instead 🙂

Do people think having it later / the bank holiday weekend was a mistake?
