So, just to start with a little bit of history. Way back in late 2008, Roger (LB4UL), JC and Joe Gatley hatched an idea to encourage more people to come out freeriding: the plan - meet up in the middle of an isolated forest at the coldest time of the year. From the subsequent photos and the writeup, it appeared to be a success and the following year, with yet again frost all around, more riders turned up to do it all again. I wrote about it here, it was a good'un.
Same thing happened again last December. Not so many riders this time, but still plenty of action taking place and enough of a buzz to keep the spirit alive. Fast forward to late November 2011 and murmurings were taking place here and there, especially over twitter, suddenly the cool place to hang out. 'Surely there's going to be another Macc event?', these 140 character limited messages requested. But bar a few reassuring responses, not much was happening - the lead up to Christmas suddenly becoming very busy busy for everyone. And that might have been the end of the story.....
