Hey Old Fools,
time to get that diary out and book some free time for the best BMX trip of the year - Old FOols Cornwall!
This is the 11th Old FOols, and is set o tbe another awesome trip based on good times, fun, and no-attitudes riding
As ever, we are picking a few spots in cornwall, and staying at the bext pub / hotel in the world, The Driftwood Spars Hotel in St agnes
The owners/staff are just as excited as us for this years Old Fools - I met with them recently to discuss stuff - it's gonna be an AWESOME weekend.

directions: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=St+Georges+Road%2C+Truro%2C+United+Kingdom
It'll be a bif f concrete street/flat bank/mini ramp kid of affair, and a good spot to grabe some lunch as it is right in next to the town,
than we move on to
Playing Place old school bowl at 1pm ish
This is a reeeeeeeally old bowl, and was great fun last time round - this will be a good spot for a chilled lottle stop off on this Friday Afternoon..

then we will be rolling on to Mount Hawk indoor park - at the time of this trip, it will be officially CLOSED for a new re fit and layout, but it looks like we have a FREE secret session for the Old FOols ONLY on that Friday afternoon at around 3.30pm ish = for an hour or two. This will be a good end to the day, great to support the local indoor park, take some pics and get it all over FBook etc for them. Plus we get a free go on whatever bits of the park are ready.

Then Fri night is Driftwood spars - live music, new menu designed for the budget conscious Old Fools... rememebr to take it easy on the first night. Yeah Right.
SATURDAY 17th
We are thinking of returning to
The Track in Portreath for 10.30am
. Great dirt jump venue which now also has tarmac run ins to it's resi ramp and foam pit, plus a new wooden mini ramp [ thank the lord says those of us who dont ride dirt]
This is a paying venue, but we are sorting an Old fools only price.
Lunch is available here too.

This is subject to change, but loks fairly certain for now.
Then we roll on to Newquay Wooden Waves, newly re surfaced and the most fun park in Cornwall for 1 to 2pm
We will then stay here for the afternoon, ride the park, ride the kiddies playground down the hill [ that place is SO much fun]
and then it will cilminate in the annual street ride into Newquay town, and down to Fistral Beach for a beer and birdwatching... ataround 5pm.

I really look forward to seeing you all there, dont miss out on the BEST bmx trip this autumn!
One thing - please remember that the Driftwon Spars is an awesome pub that helps us out massively - so this year, no twatting about with vandalism or pranks - I know who did it last year, and this yea rI wont hesitate to point the finger if it happens agaain.
By the way, they still have rooms on hold, but for only about one week longer, so book en up, ring and say you are with the Old FOol sand they will sort you out!!

Looking forward to seeing you guys riding the BMX part of the place. Have spent this week helping strip out the centre section and by next week hopefully you'll start to see what's happening with the rebuild just as long as the Corby builders extract their digits and get cracking on it - were due last Sunday night but now not appearing until Tuesday next week!! It it's given us ample opportunity to clear the place so they've got no excuses but to crack on with it with a 'blank canvas'. It's going to be rad when it's finished. See you Friday. Humps
