Real ale and Mountain bikes.

I just found this.http://www.visitmidwales.co.uk/thedms.a ... ue=1024287

Anyone fancy a wobble?

In conjunction with the Annual Mid Wales Beer Festival, the Real Ale Wobble takes place on way marked routes around Llanwrtyd Wells. A choice of 15, 25 or 35 miles distances is available over two days. Free real ale is provided at checkpoints - so all routes are off road!

Did it a couple of years ago, full 35 miles. Was a good ride and great fun. Got absolutely w4nkerd with two blokes from Kinver Edge Brewer and some bloke from the USA who was riding a folding bike, finished off on a Kinver 'Over the edge' 7% thing. Needless to say I didn't go out and ride the following day. The band in the Neuedd Arms were good too.

Be warned, camping is really the only option (doubt there is any accomodation left) dealing with the trek across the flooded, shit covered rugby pitch, to the delelict shower and toilet block, queing for 30 minutes in freezing temps, after a curry and a lot of beer the night before is not for the feinthearted, I still have nightmares about it. Managed to have a wash, in the street, with a cold water pipe that a nice lady let me use.

Thanks for the heads up flything, I never even thought about accomodation yet.

I do like camping in the summer, but in the cold after a muddy day biking would be a different experience all together.

It's something that every mountain biker should experience at least once though, decent sleeping bag and you'll not be cold, packet of baby wipes to get the worst off the bits people can see and you're laughing. Whole town is as mad as a box of frogs anyway.
