Spares and essentials.
« on: April 07, 2008, 10:58:32 AM »
I'm camping this weekend and was wondering a couple of things.

1). Is there anywhere we can buy spares at the park just incase something really un-expected brakes?

2). Is there going to be a normal shop to buy food, drink and other things?

3). Is there a general MTB shop? actually on site on the race weekend?

4). Are there any showers or anything like that?

Cheers,
 Lewis.

1/yep Torico will be there with all brakes pads, tyres, gloves, helmets etc
2/ not really a normal shop - more like an extremely efficient cafe serrving up organic sausages and the infamous "mums cake"
3/ same as the first answer - as I sponsor the series and help run the timing - torico will always be there with as much kit as I can load into the van

Showers?Huh?? at a race venue? are you serious???. Get yourself down to your nearest camping store and buy one of these.

UK Bike Park isn't a massive place like say Afan, Cwmcarn or Glentress which do have showers, but then even only one of these is a race venue.
Any plans for showers Paul or Ali? (of course once you start getting in excess of 300,000 visitors a year!)

We have bottled drinking water for sale and tap water in canisters for free.

Bring your own washing up bowl! (plus a bar of soap and your laughing)  Smiley

Sure! Ask someone in the cabin when you arrive and they'll sort you out....
