New website goes live! 13/07/08
phpBB version 3 now installed 6/05/08
I have upgraded the bulletin board software to version 3. Its at a new address so please follow the link (the old board has been disabled). Yes, its the default "skin" for now so won't look right. The whole site is undergoing a re-design and will get the new banner and menu shortly (so theres no point me doing the old one).
Marin Rough Ride 2008 - Sunday, June 8th 2008 3/05/08
(Press Release) Just to let you know;
Things are moving on with the Marin Rough Ride. In line with the other independents such as the Hell of the North and the Dyfi Enduro, entries are well up this year, 40% in fact. Marin have donated a bike as a spot prize for an under 18 entry. There are also loads of other spot prizes from them and Toroloco, Dialled, Hope, Rough Ride Guides, Trekitt, Carradice and Agisko.
The Roughride has never been run as a race so everyone has the same chance of winning something whenever they finish.
Sportident are managing the timing system, so everyone will have an exact time for their ride, downloadable immediately they finish.
The route has been tweaked to keep it fresh for our many regulars.
