I've messaged them to see if there's any EMTB specific stuff there. Either way, I've never been to any biking festivals before so I'm interested!

 

[Theolegit]

Must admit really fancy this, just gotta persuade the Mrs!

 

[Rob Rides EMTB]

OK great news, just spoke with Si who’s organising it.

We are planning on arranging some EMTB specific ride outs, likely one on Sat 16th and one on the Sun 17th.

Folks, welcome aboard! Any question hit me up, the website is loaded with info as well! GT Bicycles Malverns Classic - Contact [email protected] / 07968 229 359

 

[Si Paton]

The big message will be to bring your bike and ride! All courses when not being used for practice or racing can be ridden. Just make sure you ride with a friend and a helmet!

Last one I went to was in '95. Hope it goes better than that one...

Only about 35 miles from FOD innit?

 

[Doomanic]

It's 25 miles from my house, I could ride it if there are going to be charging points.

Nice! I’m gonna camp there, will definitely be looking for some charging points. Maybe one for @Si Paton to see if we will have any charging area options?

I'm coming Thursday to setup family camp then I'll try out a few Demo bikes on Friday before heading back to pick up the family and the lads mates. This is a stunning site we used to go there back in the days before mobile phones but we had Lake Jumping If there is a meet up for Beers too let me know.

Sure I will see if I can grab a demo bike then.

 

[Rob Rides EMTB]

Who else is coming?

Don’t forget 2 EMTB Forums group rides, one on Sat and another on Sunday ?

 

[Rob Rides EMTB]

@Si Paton just wondering if there’s any charge points that will be available?

 

[Doomanic]

Just realised it’s on the Father’s Day weekend. I’ll have to see if the boss has made any plans for me.
You know, surprise threesome with her best friend, that kind of thing.

The enduro has an ebike category but that sold out in April. All courses are open when not being used for practice or racing; Dual, DH, XC ad three enduro stages. All will have marshals and medical cover. Just wear a helmet!
