I'm getting pretty excited about the first race coming up, hope I dont injure myself a week before at Cwmcarn in the dragons.
Us 'Sofari Sogoodi' (the *******t Massive)will be making an appearence, without a Mr Ash Brown this time, unfortunatley. We're gonna be a bit out of practice a bit due to our trails being shut down at the moment.
We've got 1 and half more hardtailers to add to the equation this time round, A Mr Will Hardy entering his first race at cwmcarn and a sober Mr Ben Irons
A quick question a bit off topic, How many members has the UK Bikepark got ? This is to do with saving our trails
Hi ben have a chat with paul and ali about saving your trails at one of our races or give me a call at the shop as I was involved in setting up the original mtb-freeride club at the park... if you go down this route prepare yourself for a world of bureaucracy and waiting for action, however it will be worth it in the end, the rewards of seeing your labours come to fruition are well worth it !!! - look at how the bikepark has evolved from a few lads wanting a place to ride to the riding mecca that it is now with NPS 4x and an uplift service with added cake!
A huge part of the process is determined by who controls the land and who is in charge of making decisions ( pretty obvious really!). We have a great relationship with the forestry but as our forestry manger once said to us.- he entered the forestry cos he liked nature, bird watching and the great outdoors, he wasnt expected to become a sports venue manager so as the forestry has needed to adapt, some of their staff have to adapt too ... this is not always easy with any organisation. fortunately our chap is very progressive and at first thought we were barmy to ride up at the hill. a few years down the line he thinks we are still barmy but loves the fact that we want to build wooden north shore features and sees the woods very positively and now fulfills a brief from the forestry to get people exercising in woodland areas.
forming a club is the easy bit managing your partners is the harder part, getting funding is even harder !
