Well, thats it, the end of an era, Kelstedge Mountain Board Centre is no more. We rode, we drank, we slept, we rode some more. While there is the temptation to be down about things, we've had some excellent times and met some amazing people.
So what does this mean for the typical middle-aged, midlands-based boarder?
1) Freeriding, and lots of it! We do it all through the winter months, there are woods and natural tracks waiting to be discovered. Plus, there are plenty of bikers doing exactly the same thing so use them for inspiration. Just take the usual precautions if riding alone.
2) Visit other centres! From the midlands the nearest ones are probably Court Farm (Hereford) and The Edge (South of Telford) and Hales Superbole (West of Nantwich). Plus Round 3 of the ATBA-UK National Series is being held at Hales Superbole on the 4th-6th September 2009.
3) Take up a similar sport, for example Snowboarding. Theres a rumour that Tamworth Snowdome is doing 3-hour evening sessions for £16!
So chin-up, make the best of a bad situation, get out there and ride! And if you do, email me and if I can, I'll join you!
