Y'All Members. As you are all obviously aware, our first weekend away is over easter 7th -9th of April.

The plan is to go up to North Wales and ride the Mach trails, Nant-yr-Arian

Before Big Gav starts looking at accom. etc. Who is interested?

I'm boarding in Chamonix so I'm oooooouuuutttttttttttttttttttttt.

I will be there sort of I will be windsurfing at Borth over Easter but will gatecrash at Nant yr Arian or Mach if there isn't any wind

First weekend away for 2007, Not got a pass yet but I'm up for this

There is also some new trails at Penmachno in the Gwydr forest may be worth a look at

Graham

Put me on list for this one. I am combining this trip with a visit to the Parents (North Wales) but will still want to stay with the Cyclone crew for all that off topic discussion.

Nath,

Both me and Sandra are up for this, is it still going ahead?
If so, do we have any idea of cost yet?

Swampy + 'Er Indoors

Yo I'm up for this too

Five of us, is that it is Easter a bad time for everyone else? Are we going Sat to Monday or Fri to Monday? Smeg can you give BigG a prod for more info, costs etc etc.

Could be worth Nath sending out an email flier? I don't think all the club members look at the forum on a regular basis

I'm on it dudes..........

Also was gonna mention it tonight on Club Night (not good for you though G ! )

Nath

sweet, Count me and my lovely lady

Guys.

count me in for easter trip, if you have not been to Penmachno, it is worth a day.

Thanks Nath

And thanx to everyone showing interest in Welsh trip.

It is planned that we stay in the accomodation for the duration and ride at
1. Brechfa Forest
2. Nant-y-Arian
3. Machynlleth

I have ridden at Nant & Mach (the latter having one of the best downhills in the country) Nant offering some superb flowing singletrack.
Once I have finalised the `best` place to stay I will post another message. In the meantime let me know if you wish to come and call me / text me on any of my numbers.


And watch this space for finalised details for Cannock. 25 February 2007.


CHEERS!!

*************STOP PRESS**********************


I have just booked the accomodation in Machynlleth which in the form of a bunkhouse in the centre of town!

There are limited spaces for the weekend so it will have to be a first come, first served. I know that some people may not be staying with us `officially` so it will be great to meet up in Mach for drinks/`tucker`, etc.

We have the option of riding at Brechfa on the Friday or doing the ride on the Monday but at this stage I would suggest that we put this ride on hold and ride the `new` trail at Coed-y-Brenin, called the Trawllch Trail. Failing that there is also the option of riding the Penmaccho Trail and/or more of the Mach trails in Machynlleth.

Mach is ideally located for the Cli-Max Trail and the excellent routes at Nant-y-Arian that we can do on the other days.

Accomodation will be on a bunk-bed basis @£45 pp for 3 nights.

Gav, I know Linda was one of the first to show interest, and I'm not sure if she checks the forum that often. So stick her down for a defo.

Look out for the postman BigG, cheque's on its way

Graham

Im one of the "unofficial" people but I will be there or there abouts subject to the wind
Im staying done the road from Machynlleth at Borth nice and close to the beach

Looks like this could be a very popular trip!

Along with the `unofficial` bods looks like it could be 15 and counting.

Currently looking into expanding accomodation, and may book somewhere else that holds more bods!!!

Now that the entertainment is organised for Saturday night (nice one Fizz), what is the plan, are we riding Friday? Where/when are we meeting?
I assume, as its a bunkhouse that we need to take food (and beer) with us
