--- Quote from: Avro on July 09, 2019, 11:57 AM ---I am in Bideford, a track is here with a club. I grew up in Barnstaple and have no memory what-so-ever of a track back in the day, no idea why. I have fond memories of the skateboard park with its terrifying bowls. There is also a move to build a track in Braunton, I have not followed progress on that but it seems to have a lot of grassroots support.

do you remember the three bowls at ilfracombe as they were great as well , i got pictures of me riding barnstaple track in 95 and about 2002 i think and barnstaple vert ramp in 91 , is the bike shop in barnstaple still there that was like a junk yard ?
Avro:
The bike shop you are talking about is Gordys, with Gordy himself a local legend! A few years ago he had to move when the arcade he was in was redeveloped. He still has a shop of sorts, not the same two-storey house crammed with literally hundreds of bikes from floor to ceiling, a more streamlined affair.
