Default 40th birthday biking suggestions

Guys need some help. Mate has his 40th coming up on the w/e of the 29th. Had a surprise party arranged for him but some bint spoiled it for us and told him about it last night. Needless to say we're all pretty hacked off about it,

He bikes with me and was hinting at the Ron Haslam school for a weekend but it's fully booked.

I'm looking for any suggestions for a bike related weekend or failing that any alternative suggestions for something cool to do.

If this belongs else where then mods please move. Cheers

MCN do some Honda off road days, basically you get to hoon around a motocross track / enduro track on a Honda CRF250, I did one last year it was brilliant. I think it costs £175 I'm hoping to do another one in October.

Dont know if there are any near you. I havent got the details with me at work, but I can get the URL of the website you book it through when I get home if you think it sounds like an idea.

Try that, it turns riding gods into idiots and vice versa, take everything you know about riding a bike and throw it away.

Absolutely mind blowing

Cool!

So can you expect to be able to ride home, smoking your back tyre out of the corners after that?!

no expect to have to try really hard to remember how to ride a road bike on the way home.
