Big Bike Bash
Date: 22nd & 23rd August 2009
This is a celebration of all things mountain biking. The BBB is an inclusive meeting of mountain bikers and their families both old and young.
The principle aims are the sharing of knowledge and to encourage riders and non-riders alike to see how much fun you can have on a bike. There will be races of course but there will also be events for every level of rider from babies in tow-along trailers to advanced skills and stunts arenas.
The venue for this event is the stunning Avon Tyrrell Activity Centre set in the heart of the New Forest. As well as offering the purpose built mountain bike trails and main event arena there are many other activities that they can provide. The accommodation for people attending the event will be the main camping area although there is a small camping area including wooden lodges that can house up to 14 people in comfort that may be booked directly through the Avon Tyrell Activity Centre.
Numbers will be limited to 500 to ensure the friendly, almost party like atmosphere is maintained. Backed up by a series of demonstrations and interactive sessions the aim is also to increase peoples understanding of bike safety, sensible fitness regimes and basic bike maintenance. All of this will have the back drop of a live music stage, food and beer tent and a selection of trade stands.
The BBB is an non-profit event with all profits donated to UK Youth, who is the leading national youth work charity supporting over 750,000 young people.
