really enjoyed this event ,my first time ,won't be my last
My first time there this year too. Great day, very enjoyable and the guides know the place really well. I went with a beginners group and found the riding to be varied and challenging. I think we clocked about 40-45 miles of trail during the day. Worth noting that the breakfast and lunch were A1 quality!
Couple of pictures from the day:
The "Briefing"
Rows and rows of bikes. Frosty roads.
It was cold but clear - a good day for it
We were sharing the byways with all sorts..
Lunch stop. They even had Jelly babies!
Yours truly.
Sunset was upon us before we knew it and it was time to leave. We were across the road from Stonehenge at this point.

Very emosonal
I got very emosonal on standing and talking to over 200 people that stood on my property supporting me ! Thank you
Yep 200+ maybe 220 fed I must appolagies as would have liked to have given more, but it seemed to have worked well.
not added up all cash yet but about £7.5k with expences of about £2k Tees, website, food all adds up.
High lights for me, seeing Andy JUDGE, seeing 200 people, seeing folks I have ridden with over the year enjoy for the first time.
Sad parts, Mrs Bowsher that did the tea and coffee and ran the Gateway club had a mini stroke on Christmas Day and her son came to tell me she couldnt attend.
so looking at £5k local Charity Bound
Not trousering a penny just the LOVE and FAME of being part and having a great family

Fantastic day - if a little parky by the end.
Well done Steve (and your amazing team of helpers)!
Big Thank you
Steve,
Realise you are probably going to get 192 of these comments! - But a huge thank you to you, your wife and daughters, for organising such a great event.
Please pass on my thanks to all the other volunteers involved.
Kind regards
Simon

Well done Steve another great selfless fund raising event from the Burbidge family.
Let's hope Mrs Bowsher makes a full recovery.

That looks to be an absolutely brilliant event, well done for all that effort
Such a shame that we can't do off road like that north of the border
Come south and enjoy it - loads of others do and make a couple of days of it. The beer round these parts is not too bad....
And also a great excuse to get an enduro bike
There were all sorts of bike out - but to be honest no sports bikes....
