Are you implying we tell Bonj it's in Mansfield and NOT turn up?
The merest thought hadn't even begun to speculate about the possibilty of crossing my mind....

How about Derby over the weekend of July 11/12th?
Cyclemagic is working with Cycle Derby on The Big Cycle Weekend, a free event in Markeaton Park with camping just a ccouple of miles away.
With support for the first one, this event will get the backing for a major, annual event.

Cool!
Derby's not a bad idea.... Relatively ok transport (well, for me! Actually, it's X Country trains to Derby, so not fantastic for bikes, but...)

Derby's fine with me - my folks live thereabouts so could do a Family visit and then onto Markeaton to meet up with you lot.

So is there any more movement in getting some where sorted?

Erm, sorry, still trying to sort it; May is a busy month for me (lots of family stuff going on) so haven't had much time to do the research and make a decision.
Have had four locations in mind around the Birmingham area, however The Big Cycle Weekend in Derby looks interesting - especially as it's an already organised event that we could gate crash.
Google mapping shows its a decent sized park and the train station isn't too far away by the look of things.
I'll do my best to make a decision in the next week or so.
Cheers,
Shaun
PS. Hilldodger, can you send me a bit of bumphf on The Big Cycle Weekend - thanks.

OK, Big Cycle Weekend (BCW) is a collaboration between Cycle Derby, Cyclemagic, CTC Cycle Champions, Derby Cycle Group and several other local organisations. Cycle Derby and Cyclemagic have hosted numerous events together in Derby over the past few years and BCW is a development of last year’s highly successful Big Cycle Day Out.
The FREE weekend will include lots of family cycling activities aimed at the local community plus from Cyclemagic there will be cycling history, a big tryout, special needs cycling and loads of silliness from the likes of Wobbly John. There will also be BMX stuff and the legendary Five Parks Ride around Derby on the Sunday to be started by Nigel Clough.
Camping will be available just a couple of miles away.
If we can make a big splash with this event it has every chance of becoming a large annual festival. Cyclemagic’s long term aim is to re-launch their Spokesfest Human Powered Vehicle Festival and bring in pedal car racing, aeroplanes, boats and everything else we had in Leicester.
Dates – 11/12 July
Place – Markeaton Park, Derby
Status – NOT to be missed. You NEED to be able to say to your grand kids in many years time that YOU were at the FIRST one!
