Big Bike Bash 2012 18-19th August

[makster]

Tickets have already gone on sale for next years Big Bike Bash.
For those who haven't been, this is a cracking event in The New Forest, Hampshire.
It's basically a weekend of mountain biking 'races' of varying degree's of seriousness (including a 'pint to pint' race ) plus a lake-jump comp on the Sunday!
There's lots of races for kids, and the facilities/showers etc on site are good.
There's also a beer tent all weekend plus live music.

This years event was my first time, but others on here have been going for years.
Having been on numerous retrobike rides/events, I can honestly say that Big Bike Bash is tailor made for us lot
I'd go as far as to say that this could be an ideal 'leg' of our national rides series for 2012!

Loving it thanks! 4K miles already :shock:
I've realised that the weekend of BBB is also the weekend my Sister gets married. I hope they don't miss me in the pics too much

If I can afford this aswell then I'm game, although Brighton usually wipes out that month's play money allowance.

Looking to come along this year with la familia and had a quick question for the BBB veterans - what goes on on the sunday i.e. what time does it finish? Is it worth camping the sunday night?

I'm a veteran, but not of BBB
Last year the lake jumping finished early afternoon and then there were presentations until around 4.
I think all of the facilities (mainly the bar!) are closed on the Sunday night.
We all left on the Sunday evening, but then I only live 10 miles away

 

[trickylad]

dammit. i'm going to be away on hols
would've liked to see the santa cruz on that short course madness on sunday morning

I'll be there. I might even ride retro this year, it's ideal for it down there.

I've done all 3 of them so far and it's possibly my cycling highlight of the year. Just brilliant fun!
