Well I thought I'd broach the subject now to y'all! :lol: :lol:

we hope to have another ride next year so here are the details for you:
Thursday 2 - Monday 6 May 2013
location is: Rhayader, Powys LD6 in mid-wales

everyone with a Husaberg and everyone here at UHE is welcome!

Thursday 2nd May arrive
ride any of Friday, Saturday or Sunday

with Monday as an option but under utilised until now.
new for this year: hopefully we agree to an on site curry-in or a BBQ on the Saturday night. last year we didn't spend any quality time together as a group.

Friday and Saturday will be big and long with one loop said to be 110-130 miles
Sunday will probably be similar to Sunday 2012 heading North-West to Machynlleth

one group Friday
two groups Saturday and Sunday

Ed and Cypher will tell us about the going and how tough it'll be....

Open to Husabergs and non-Husabergs as long as you're invited by a Husaberg rider and the ratio stays at 1 to 1 in your tribe. that way we always have plenty of Husabergs which is what this is about. I think that that is our only rule? others will tell me.

Once again I shall no doubt do a load of T-shirts (and lose money 8O 8O ) so you can have one or two of those to remember the occasion by.

Campsite and its position: Cypher and Ed again will hopefully help here but it'll be the one in Rhayader that they recommend (nearest a pub).

last year I believe there were 22 of us on the Saturday of which 16 -18 were Husabergs: a fantastic effort!

Ed is going to sort routes out again for the three days and will no doubt help us find a guide for the second group.

so please join in! if you want to come from Europe and Scandanavia we will try to help you in anyway we can.
if you want to come over from the States or OZ: we will find you a bike and get you picked up etc. accomodation at my abode as my guest for the loser!

Ozzies are most welcome coz we all want to visit you and bring the family (LOL!!) :| :|

so sign up me beauties! :bounce3: :bounce3:

regards

Message received. I've now put the dates in my diary - but it normally takes me until May to recover from my annual October week on the trails of Andalucia!

Cheers for the heads up!!! really going to try and get on this one. Gives me time to get the shock rebuilt and do the fork seals. Need to check the days with work. But at worst it might be turn up on Fri evening

I know a bit off topic but if anyone knows a good place to get the shock done poss near Sheffield please PM/mail me

Cheers

Birthday on the Monday.....mmmm? maybe you need to get away first thing Sunday the 5th. You can take Ned37 and Berger back to the airport on your way! :wink: :wink:

Just a little question do you think there is 3 days riding from Rhayader ?.

There is definitely 3 days riding in the area. North towards Mach , east towards the Begwyns and West towards Strata.
Rhayader has a campsite in the town. A web search shows llandrindod only has out of town sites but is perhaps more central. Builth Wells also has a site in the town.
My thoughts are that the riding will be good whether it is as good as last year remains to be seen. Everyone's tastes are different. I hate long fire roads but love gnarly slippy rocky climbs and descents others don't.
What are people's thoughts
 
I like the gnarly stuff too! in general, when it is surmounted by all it gets the bigger thumbs up!
if riding that area Ed do you want to name another town or are we good in Rhayader?

I thought the camp site there looked close to the town?

Taffy
 
I'm in! I'll probably have a non Husaberg mate in tow too..

I like a nice bit of everything - including a bit of fast paced fire road :)
 
that's great Mart - about time too! :D was it you that had a 'spare uncle' this year? if he's coming back we'll question his BBQ-ing ability later!

I've paid to have a load of leaflets done and will be sending them out with all my parcels.

Ed-the leaflets have the camp site in Rhayader on them so too late now! if any of you want a handful for specific friends you want to target then let me know. I can also send you the master and you print one or two off?

I'm bumping this before it falls off the radar!

anyone else care to join in?
