I`ve got some pals going but not me, it clashes with the Bob Mac Memorial races at my home circuit but you`ll have a ball J, and of course a MAG event so the money is going to a good cause:

If you see an old fella 6` 3" ish with a leather waistcoat with Slice and Dice on it say hello to Angus from me and tell him I`ll catch up with him at the Bulldog in August. :wink:
He might have a much younger lass with him, the old rogue!

never even heard of this before but it looks like a riot!

i was born and raised on festivals of all shapes and sizes, so this sort of thing is right up my street.

if i can get the time off and convince my girlfriend (can you guess which one is the easier of the two?) i'll be coming. with the girlfriend, of course.

now i have to work out how to fit a weekend's worth of camping essentials for two people into a single rucksack. hehe. wish me luck.

Load up the woman with it all in one of those huge alloy framed rucky`s, she`ll love the plank hard TRX seat and the high pegs all the way! :lol:
My old lady had to suffer a TRX plank from Edinburgh to Stratford-Upon-Avon back in 2010, (well over 300 miles each way) I did have my Ventura rack on the TRX loaded high though and she was able to lean back against it a tad.
Pulling away was interesting, a skyward front end just about every time!

hehe that sounds pretty fun =)

yeah the pillion seat on the TRX is.... sparse, to say the least.

i was considering changing it to a gel seat. i was working on the logistics of it yesterday afternoon... seems doable. at the very simplest, just sticking a gel-pouch layer under the normal seat cover would be better than standard.
