general info
the craic is mighty on these weekends and once you've been to one you will want to come again.
there is no limit on numbers only accommodation at the bunkhouse (max 16), you can of course kip in your van or bring a tent (hard pack gravel ground) or try and find space and sleep on the floor in the garage etc - just state this when you PM me and I will add you to the list below.
It's open to all abilities we had a few last weekend that had never been off road and they did great - there's plenty of people around to give you advice / help you pick up/repair your bike up etc.
The Sunday sprint is marshaled by travelling marshals and run very professionally by Moly, so you have nothing to worry about - just go at your own pace. No one will remember how quick everyone is, but they will remember if you helped them out or knocked them off!!
to sign up send me a private message; in the mean time just reply to this thread
