The Welsh Ride Thing: 20 Years of the Polaris.

Yea, yea, yea, but what is it?

The WRT is a 3 day and perhaps more importantly 2 night ride through and around mid Wales. You'll be expected to be self sufficient, carrying everything you need and sleeping out in or under whatever you think best. It's not elitist, entry is open to anyone who wants to try it. All the money raised by the WRT goes to the Wales Air Ambulance charity ... an organisation I hope you'll never need.

If you look back through the posts you'll find a more detailed description or if you're sold on the idea already, email stuart@forestfreeride.co.uk and ask for an entry form.

20 Years of the Polaris.

If your longing for 2 wheeled self propelled adventure hasn't been completely destroyed after the WRT, then perhaps you'd be interested in the Polaris Challenge.

The 2011 Polaris Challenge takes place on the weekend of June 25th / 25th in the Dark Peak ... 2011 is also the 20th anniversary of the Polaris Challenge. You'll get to ride your bike, sleep in a field and even get lost, so all the prime ingredients for a great weekend are present. The event is open to solo riders or teams of 2 so you don't even require any mates to take part.

Nip over to the Polaris web site and have a look http://www.polarischallenge.com/index.html you'll also be able to pick up an entry form at the WRT.
