No. I will go Saturday. With a bag of cameras at Ginge Bridge. I love the facial expressions...

I've done this event every year since it started (as my sister lived in Upton) btu this year, for the first time, nope, not doing it. Feels a bit strange to be not going actually 😥

It's, imo, a well organised fun family event, with a good vibe and good live music etc.

I'm not very far away, but I have plans this weekend, which is a shame as the ride goes through my village and around all the lanes I know really well, it's very much my stomping ground.

Massive thunderstorm at the moment. Should be the usual mudbath.

Aye, it's been very wet at times today, which is a shame as until Weds the trails were 99% completely dry. I think they'll hold up fairly well, but you'll deffo see some patchy horrible muddy stuff, especially on the bits that are clay related !

Beer. Cider. Meat.

It is always excellent. Generally do the 12 mile with kids. Last year this year I think; 18 next year.

Can't wait really

I lived in Blewbury for a while years ago, it'll be nice to ride my old stomping ground.

Great time again! Just enough mud, cider, music, pizza, more cider, more music. Plus a turkey, xmas pud and a Christmas tree.

Bobby- try heaven of the south if you can get in (sells out quick)
