Hi Bikers,
I have begun enquries into a potential 8th year descent from conic hill to Oak Tree Inn on either the 25th or 31st January. I am waiting for them to get back to me with avaliability and more importantly prices! For those not aware what this weekend is, its emphasis is sold on social ride with the three B’s, Banter, Beer and Bikes (not necessary in that order)
For those who havent had the pleasure of this amazingly great social ride it begins at the Bullands for coffee and bacon rolls, a taxi ride for your overnight kit, a ride along the westie to Drymen for tea and scones (or a pint or two for the hardcore) and a continuation onto Conic Hill and down into Oak Tree Inn for the evening of good food and beer before riding it all in reverse the next day. The ride has numerous bail outs to make the ride less technical, and the pace is very much social so there its totally suited to all those who have done the introductory rides this year. The price has been £40 for twin/double rooms or £15 for the bunks including breakfast.
If the Oak Tree will match the same prices then I think this should be another excellent weekend! I will keep you all informed when I hear details but just wanted to plant the seed as a few people have asked if this would be on the calender.
Speak soon and happy trails!
Excellent, I messed this years sadly, but hopefully make this one. Matt isn’t going to embarrass us with his running again, is he? :-)))
