Around 30 places left, seen most of the films/clips but still looking forward to the evening. Rides planned Saturday and Sunday, one high weather permitting

I'll be there with my dad again Friday night. They've got some good guests this year. Unfortunaly can't get out riding sat or sun.
Is there a list of the films/ clips that are being shown?

Me and the Mrs are going. She's been working overseas for 2 weeks so will probably fall asleep.

Could be peaty, as he's mates with Greg, and he could chat about his retirement plans.
Could be Danny Mac, as he's also riding Santa Cruz, (I think) who support the bike night.
But heard rumours it's someone else!

Is Chipps a bit of a big deal these days?

My thinking on Danny, Peaty did it two years ago, so doubt he will be back. Ratboy was last year so not him. Akrigg was 3 years ago so not him either. Cut media have been a few times, their Danny Mac films get shown each time so they have a good connection with KMF. Plus they say they are really, really excited about the guest, so got to be Danny. Shown all his films, but he hasnt been (plus Santa Cruz connection)

The very special guest was Guy Martin. Who was very, very late.

Ok my take on things! Not enough films/clips for the type of riding I like i.e. wilderness adventure type bike packing malarky! Guest were good Martyn Ashton in particular did not hear enough from Greg Minnar if Guy had turned up on time Jason and Guy could have done a better two Ronnies set :-). Ed was good as ever but the Raffle was pretty shambolic and spoiled the flow. Getting a bit bored of the Santa Cruz gang and groupies and their films hollering from the sidelines I know Santa Cruz sponsor the event but its to SC centric 🙁
Beer was crap and they ran out, good job I had brought some of my own for emergencies.
Overall 7/10 🙂
