We ve been kicking this around in the chatroom, and,planning it for the summer next year ( poss. June).
A mini Jamboree using a campsite as an HQ and organising rides out every day. (Fri Sat Sun.) There are dozens of mtb routes in the area to suit all abilities see here http://www.mtbbreconbeacons.co.uk/. These are natural routes using lanes farm tracks and ancient bridleways. The routes are not too technical ( As in the sense of route grading at Mtb centres) So a red route is not that technical, the difficulty relates more to level of fitness. I would of ridden them all by the time we get there ( I hope ).
So, what needs to be decided is a date and a base. Choices for the base would either have to be, a farm of which there are numerous in the area that offer camping all be it with limited facilities, or a commercial Campsite with a little more to offer.
As this would be a base, anybody preffering B&B could take that route and meet at predetermined start times.
No need to limit it either to mtbing, Road rides could also be organised, as there are also great roads in the area with light traffic.
Suggested dates would be welcome as would any possible venues, I have a couple in mind, but would welcome any others that anybody might know of.
So if you fancy something a bit different this could be it.
