psycholist Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 It's only the folks from the south east of Ireland that have this problem with their th's, and as far as anyone living away from the east coast they're practically west britain anyway ... I enjoyed Tartydays a lot this year. Great to see so many people riding so well. Got a few lines I was pleased with myself too and the atmosphere and the banter were great. Much more stuff to play on than last year and while it was raining in the mornings I got to have a good look around the other displays at the event too - some fantastic stuff there and at the risk of sounding middle-aged, the standard of carving and woodwork on display were exceptional, especially given that most people involved were amateurs. The guy at the wood chipper stand was a bit of a legend too (Turns out he's a mountain biker as well) - we now know what the best chipper for (hypothetically ) disposing of a body is this one: http://www.timberwolf-uk.com/Templates/350infopg.html One thing that was a bit disappointing was that both burger stands I went to for food during the day were not only poor value for money, but the standard of the food itself was very poor too - the burgers we got on Sunday at the BBQ were absolutely amazing though. Huge thanks to everyone involved! I'll hopefully be able to make it again next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinytipper Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Had a great couple of days! Big thankyou to everyone who organized it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrialsIsHard Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Quality Weekend! That fire was definitely needed though, Welsh weather is bloody freezing! Does anyone know who the guys in the green classic Mini were? They were there for the first day or two and were doing a roadtrip of the UK's best spots or something. I lent one of them a maggy, and the next day they had left. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they had forgotten, but I want to use it now Any help would be great Thanks to Matt and Adam for organising such a good weekend!

casualjoe Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Such an amazing opportunity to ride with so many great riders and top people, wish I could have ridden all day long! Many thanks to the organisers for making it such a memorable event Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian J Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 I agree with Simpson on this, I wish the security just come up to us and said keep quite. We had to stay up as it was georges birthday on Sunday so we sang happy birthday and went to bed we was a sleep by 12:30. Then I had a knock on van door at 9 and told to leave, so basically we drove 4 hours paid £20 x 5 and got to ride from 11am - 7pm on Saturday and told to leave 9am Sunday morning. Great birthday present for George I must say a big thank you to all the riders that stuck up for us and said good things about us once we had left. It means alot. And thanks to Matt Barlow for trying to sort out us seeing a demo, it's a shame it didn't work out. Hope you didn't get in to much trouble. All in all the riding was better then last year. The venue was not as good but I still enjoyed myself for the day. I really hope the megaphone don't jeopardise another tarty days. You guys do so much hard work sorting thse festivals out and we really appricate it. Please don't let this be the last one. Phil Well said.

eskimo Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 I've been found out Is Dave on here? I was talking to him at the weekend about 24s and stems but I can't remember what stem he said he had Dwells86 i think. Dave Wells on facebook You'll want 90x35. Any shorter feels dick for trials, any longer feels dick for street. Stackers and bar size for preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted June 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Had a chat with Matt this morning - neither of us are keen to run a Tarty Days 2012, so I'm pretty sure 2011 will be the last one. I would be happy to explain for those interested, but haven't got time right now. Thanks to those who attended and enjoyed themselves both this year and last year. I will possibly look into running some sort of similar, non-competitive event next year, but a lot of things will need to change to make it viable.

JD™ Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Sad news. I can only imagine the hard work that goes into an event like that, and this year was great save for the couple of pretty small occurrences that turned into bigger problems. It's a shame that a standalone event would be so much harder and more expensive to put on, because otherwise that'd easily be the way to go. Great work guys, thanks for giving the community the event for 2 years - that's infinitely better than not at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo Prattley Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 awww mann thanks for putting the event on adam im sure im not the only one that would be more than happy to attend a similar event next year !! it was great to just chill, ride and meet loads of new riders .. how about holding the event at a pre made trials park ? like barrow farm or something along those lines ?

That was the idea... Considered that, Barrow Farm is out of the question and there is nowhere else suitable (in my opinion). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
