[Closed] YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH (warning THAT event content)

We've missed the pictures too. Got any?

No mention of ladies. Sort it out man.
Oh and pics please.

🙁

Ah, But I'd also miss the 11 hours of my life traveling there and back, and the £100 worth of fuel to do it. So I'll not be too upset about it! 😛

Hw won't mention the ladies because he is to modest. Or he may be a gate.

I second what Juan says. An excellent weekend.

WGAF.

Sounds AWESOME. I doubt it was though.

Here's some pics

Well I enjoyed myself . Ok so it could have been drier, but most of the events went ahead anyway. Good turn out and still a relaxed atmosphere. A surprising good XC course , short but hard work. Great beer tent ,quality hot food , good racing , great prizes, well supported by Torq, Mule bar , Hargroves, superstar, USE, Buff, Soreen, MBUK, Green Oil.
Lots of hard work, and lots of happy people.
Short course xc racing is hard, and it doesn't help when the kids are lobbing bean bags / water bombs at you , especialy when you take a direct hit to the b******s.
made my eyes water

Nick told me that racers like getting hit with water 🙂

Did Fred crap himself again? 😉

Last I saw him he was hoovering 🙂

All my pics are [url= http://s142.photobucket.com/albums/r90/dezb99/BBB2010/ ]here[/url]

Glad people had a good time.
I'm knackered after last nights marathon effort.
I'd like to thank Nick and all the other volunteers for the effort that made it the success it was, also UK Youth for letting us use Avon Tyrell , the trade stands and sponsors for there support, and other companies that gave us freebies and discount (while not being official sponsors).
Also a big thank to all the people who paid money to come along to the event, as your the people who make the event what it is.

Had brilliant time, as did the kids. Thanks to all the organisers - hope Nick's shoulder is ok!

Just seen DezB's pic - that's my daughter with the 'small' water pistol - seems quite accurate! 😆

Yeppy, a great weekend of family fun and plenty of entertainment.

Yes Lovely lady in wet white lycra!!!! Go Mule Girl 😀

We drove down from just north of Gairloch - our first BBB.

3yr old and 4yr old want to go again - 'even if it rains'

I'd reiterate all the positives from above- reminded me of 1st/2nd Malvern's - but more family friendly.

- Thanks Nick/Luke/ everybody involved -

PS I really would like the recipe for the coffee pecan cake - delicious.

The middle class at play...

WGAF.

bummer. Looks like fun 🙁

Yup. Superb event, even the 'mizzle' didn't have any effect on it. The atmosphere was brilliant, loads of people of all ages having a laff and really getting into it.

Photos
Phew! I took nearly 1200 pics over the weekend. Got them all off the camera before I flaked out last night, I'll edit them today and hopefully get proofs online tonight. I'm off on holiday again on Friday, so I'm going to struggle a bit if anybody wants any but if you can bear with me I'll sort them when I get back.

And there's hardly a face on them without a big grin.

WCA pulled it off again. God knows how, but he did. 😀 😉

666..... brilliant.....just brilliant ...

I do believe that was no 'accident'....... 😉

And the Short Track Elminator XC was superb, just a brilliant format, short, sharp, technical and FUN to race and watch. 😀

The middle class at play...

Well done Nick and everyone else involved in putting on the event. It was good to see that you had taken the comments from last year on-board, and it really added to the event (if only other event organisers listened to feedback about their events...)

We had a great time, I think my daughter was one of the few not to go away with a prize, although she is only 21 months old and did manage to eat her weight in free Eat Natural bars over the weekend so she wasn't too unhappy 😀

Oh and well done Juan on completing the night race on a girl's bike 😉

yeah but it's a kick ass girl bike 😉

owww

but a really really special owww.

Thanks guys, I think everyone enjoyed it, we had no disasters, and did most people got prizes 🙂

Top weekend, thanks all 🙂

I would like to add two things:

1) Juan is much nicer in real life than on the forum
2) I beat him on the short track eliminator
3) Not because I pushed him into a tree on one lap

Just editing my pics here at work, and I've got a couple of comments

DezB took the Inappropriate Bike race FAR FAR too seriously: Giro Xen, Camelbak, SPD shoes. To ride a kids bike, what, 200 yards? 😉

Rob the Brewer can't POUR a pint to save his life!

The 2 Torq-sponsored riders that did the Short Track XC Eliminator, got beaten and soaked to the skin by waterpistols and they are smiling in EVERY pic I have of them. Top Team! 🙂

BBB rocked!
The XC racecourse was as good as any I've raced on.
The bands were excellent. The cider made me very happy (and drunk).
Nick was unbelievable. He needs a medal for creating so much laughter and joy.

Here are some pics:

Hey! It was the only thing I had the remotest chance of winning! Then beaten by 2 blokes on 26" wheel bikes.. pah!

We're hoping to enter Little grips into a race next year! It was a lovely event for families.
Thanks to everyone who made it a great couple of days!

You looked the part though, Dez. 🙂

PS that's me doing the no-handed trackstand above.

I didn't manage it quite that time, although I'd been doing it really well earlier. I'd have won the competition for sure if I'd been there in time to enter 🙂

Our first BBB and we all had a great time .

My wife is not into cycling at all and she enjoyed it . we are planning to go back next year and even planning to become sponsor with our soft play business to entertain the under 4 s .

the kids loved it too .

A big thank you to Nick and the whole team to put up such a great event .

Well I am home. The track has been cleared of tape and the marquees away.

Thank you to everyone who came. You made it a fantastic weekend for me.

You might want to drop the occasional email to UK Youth to encourage them to hold it again next year.

PS For those who are interested Fred/Rudeboy won a special prize for being dry both nights.

PPS Is it worth going to A&E about dislocated shoulders I did on Saturday night? One is particularly painful but I am guessing it is just bruising.

Errr no I don't think so.
(robdob - current BBB trackstand champion)
I am very good at the event where staying still is the best technique.. 😉
[IMG] [/IMG]

BBB hows the shoulder?

No?

Didn't see you do anything I couldn't have done 😉

It's the length of time I can do it for that matters....... 😀

soma - shoulder still ****ed*.

*Note to self - make sure there is a crowd to catch before launching into a stage dive. Dislocating both shoulders at the same time makes running the event on Sunday a challenge and clearing up afterwards just damn painful

I demand satisfaction, sir.

I demand satisfaction, sir.

Errr [looks around sheepishly] I don't like men that way but head down to the docks and you might get what you need.....

Pics are ready, here's a few samples, the rest of the set is here

Excellent photos Podster.

Proper job!!

Gutted not to have made it. Impending emergency plumbing bill meant I had to cry off. Still, managed to get invited on a girls night out for the saturday so win/win really 🙂

Woo Hoo!!!!

Great event and I can finally come back as my self.

For those who didn't know, I was BigBikeBash

Cheers All and thanks for making it a great weekend. All I did was find a field.

It was class. My nipper loved it and I likes the beer tent. Everyone's a winner... 😀

[IMG] [/IMG]

Peter poddy you've posted a photo of yourself up there on your bike but now you're calling yourself robdob..... I don't get it 😉

How's the voice WCA? can you actually talk today?

Great pics PP.

Anna - are you really confusing the Atkin boys?

I'm not photographer, and didn't leave the beer tent much but here's a few pics:

Cracking pics of the beer tent there Luke! 😀 😆

WCA, I thought I knew who you were but I felt a bit stupid going up to you and asking if you were WCA. Then I thought it was even weirder to ask if you were BigBikeBash.. no.. we are ALL Big Bike Bash..

we are ALL Big Bike Bash..

Annabanana....

Is it wrong to admit that I've already started planning for next years beer tent?

luke - So Louis has confirmed he will do it?!?

Not with me.
But then again he'll be asking you to do it before me.

Just a reminder from last year

A little bird told me that tickets are for sale for this summer's one.
