Welcome to Mean and Dirty Events; some would call us MaD.
MaD are Graham and Andy, a pair of mountain bikers with a passion for mountain biking. We have ridden, raced, bled and ridden again, for collectively 50 years. We have spent much of that time riding the trails around Gloucestershire and especially those in the Cotswold Hills, where our home-town, Gloucester nestles. Our love of mountain biking runs deep, just ask our wives and bank managers.
We have joined forces to bring for your riding pleasure, mountain biking events that will take place in our part of Glorious Gloucestershire. Our aim is to bring events with a bit of a difference and to that end, we are developing some ideas, the first of which is the MaD69er, a good old fashioned mountain bike romp around the hills outside Gloucester. This will be mean in as much as there are plenty of ups to negotiate and will be dirty because you will ride through areas that never dry up. There are other events in the pipeline. Please keep checking our website and facebook for details.
Graham is one of Gloucestershire’s best known mountain bikers, having established shops, spawned a new mountain biking discipline, organised events, designed mountain bikes and given birth to a mountain bike club, known by his moniker, Bigfoot. You may not know it, he is also a downhill national champ…don’t ask him about it, he can be very boring.
Andy is a locally based mountain bike guide, who will never have ridden for as long as Graham, being younger and more handsome. He will have a go at riding your legs off. Andy’s guilty pleasure is racing cyclocross…..don’t ask him about it, he can be very boring.
We have many years experience including events organisation, ride guiding as well as trail building in the Forest of Dean and Cranham, plus some further afield.
All our events will be based around a simply criteria, great value, great fun and challenging plus enjoyable. We have taken part in many events ourselves so have an idea of what we would like to put up with as it were, not easy but a good pay-off for pushing your limits to the max.
Our plans are to offer new formats and plenty of well established ones.
lots more news coming on the site and via twitter and Facebook. Please feel free to spread the word.
