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.

. 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.

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.

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!!
See you in Cornwall in just over a month!!!
