New Year, New Date, New Location: Wiggle Mountain Mayhem Moves into a New Era!
Happy New Year!
Wiggle
and Pacific Edge Events Limited are proud to announce (finally... yes,
we know...) that there is a new date for your diaries for Wiggle
Mountain Mayhem this year:
15th & 16th June 2013
Camping will be available from Friday 14th June 2013.
After
many happy (and often muddy) years at Eastnor, we all felt that it was
time for a change. Since the end of Mayhem last year we have searched
the length and breadth of the UK tirelessly to find the perfect venue.
That is no easy task. We want only the best for Wiggle Mountain Mayhem
riders. Now in it's 16th year, we constantly strive to improve Mayhem
for everyone. That is why we are really excited about our new venue. The
only snag is we are sworn to secrecy about the exact location for a
little while longer... BUT there are a few little nuggets we can tell
you at this stage:
• it is completely virgin mountain bike territory - a private location never before used for cycling in any way
• the only way you will ever get to ride a mountain bike here is by entering Wiggle Mountain Mayhem
• it is less 40 miles from Eastnor
•
our course designers are really excited to be able to bring you some
fantastic mountain biking with well made forest tracks plus gravely rock
structure and high organic content making the soil drain well.
Entries
will go on live to download at midnight on Thursday 28th February 2013.
First come, first served at Pat's house. Online entries will go live at
midday on Friday 1st March 2013.
Keep checking out the website for more details.
Don't forget to like our Facebook page for up-to-the-minute updates, competitions and more.
We're so excited! We know it's been a while coming, but we're sure it's worth the wait.
Here's looking forward to a whole new era of Wiggle Mountain Mayhem. Make sure you're with us!

The Cycling Carnival of Love is a mix of road riding and off road riding, whatever takes our fancy. This blog is an evolution of a much earlier blog, which was the seed of an idea, slightly misunderstood, but those that were involved in those early days will hopefully contribute in the same anarchic and random style that gave it a unique style. Let the Carnival begin...
Well the venue at the moment is still secret, even my direct line with Pat will not reveal it.
ReplyDeleteThe staff at Singletrack magazine know but are sworn to secrecy.
So I speculate the following:
1. There is no new venue but a desperate search for an alternative is being sought as the damage from last year's event was substantial & no one wants to host this year's event.
2. It is a very clever marketing ploy to get everyone talking about it and make it go viral (this has kind of worked)
Anyone else care to speculate?
They do have a venue as I happen to know where it is.
ReplyDeleteThe only problem is that the course is going to be considerably shorter this year.
There are also going to be far lest trade stands.
I know this as it's going to take place, no I can't tell you on line, I will tell you when I see you
