Anyone interested in a UK Fat ride/meet over this summer? I know a few of you are out there so let's see if we can get something organised as a meet.
Post up if you're in the UK and would be like to be part of something in the new few months. Here's some more details guys: UK FatCogs 30th Anniversary Ride Location: Lakes, exact TBC but I think Grizedale or do a Langdale, Elterwater. I think Grizedale would be good as we can either do the Red route or the more sublime access roads. We need tight single track to make the fats sing like they should right? Dates: Check the poll up there ^^^^ and vote! Last edited by northerndave; May 11th, 2012 at 11:45 AM. |

Thanks for all the replies chaps.
I was thinking one day over the warmer summer months of june/July. I think location will prob depend on what's central to us all. Prob south based on who I know in the Fat community but let us all know your rough location. Thinking around one of the trail areas like Bedgbury or Thetford simply because facilities will mean a neat round trip ride on made trails with a tea shop.. Mentioned it to Kingroon on RB too but spread the word if you are in comms with other Cogs. If There's 15 ish of us we could do T's to celebrate!! |

I'm in the South, but I will travel. I just want some good, single track trails to take the Fat's on.
I've had good riding on the Surrey Hills which I would be happy to lead, Forest of Dean is good and Red Chiili knows this area, Thetford Forest is good single track, any other ideas??? |

All sounding good chaps, thanks for all getting back to the thread.
I'm relatively easy with location. In the south would be good, but equally got a lot of connections to the lakes so that would be good too. Let's try to drum up a but more interest and make a call on dates and locations in the next couple of weeks. |

Nice idea Dave.
Given it's April probably need to start trying to get a date and location sorted. Guessing given most of the UK FatCOGers are all over the country somewhere central would be best.

My vote would be Grizedale or FoD, got contacts for an excellent, but basic camp site just down the road from Grizedale and loads of trail options
So guess I can help with the camping side of it if somebody needs a hand in that area Wicked301 ~ (gil_m) |

I'm easy on any venue...Grizedale sounds cool.
Chris I, mailed me to let me know my forks are built and have gone to paint. Should have a 'rider' ready, for when this meeting comes together... fessing up that some might be 'Garage Queens'... Last edited by ti-fat-man; May 3rd, 2012 at 3:58 AM. Reason: typo |

Grizedale would be great. Some brilliant trails around there- up past Tarn Hows, Iron Keld, Elterwater, Loughrigg fell, Little Langdale etc. stunning views and very oldskool friendly terrain too.

This would actually be quite fitting as I have been in communication with Wendyll recently and she has said that when she was in the UK BITD with Chris they had great memories of riding in the Lakes.

Gil. Welcome.
Didn't know you frequented these parts.. Lakes is looking like a good option. I grew up there so have a slight preference and know most of the trails. Camping would be good. We can all hang out, drink beers, look at bikes and have a fire... |

Dave
Have you had any thoughts on dates as things are starting to get booked up, and I will need to get the time off work for travelling there and back as well. Regards Matthew |

I've added a poll on dates here guys. If you can vote for the dates that work for you. I've tried to work around known events like Mayhem and Retrobike national series so vote away and we'll go from there.
