Kielder Big Bike Weekend

reiver_challenge (8K)

IMBA and the Forestry Commission are getting together to host a weekend of riding and conferences in Kielder Forest between September 28 to October 1. There'll be six rides taking place, strictly of the social variety, and all fully led and catering for all abilities, so you can bring the family.

They'll finish with a banquet and the film Roam will be aired on a big screen. But the main reason for the weekend is the conference, focusing on building and managing MTB trails. It'll be followed by a visit to a trail for a bit of hands on experience, and there'll be trail building workshops all day Sunday.

The weekend will finish with IMBA UK's annual general meeting, which is open to everybody to attend, and will take place in the grand (we assume) Kielder Castle. For more information or to book a place at the banquet, telephone 01434 250209 or email kieldercastle@forestry.gsi.gov.uk
