BUM IN THE MUD 2010

Hello all and one

Well the bum in the mud never ceases to amaze me after my 3rd outing in as many years the weather was fantastic along with Piglets & Nicks effort in to the rally. The Friday is silly day getting to know new friends, sampling the beers & foods on offer at BITM. As ever the amount of food trucks there with different varities of menu were great, my favourite was the noodle bar.

The bands this weekend were good entertainment Friday night was Rubicon which packed out the
rooms once again so me and friends went off to the beer tent and listened to the music, another quality show by Brains Renegade. After a hard days social gathering on
the Friday, it was freezing cold that night so I needed a brew next a hearty breakfast.

Saturday morning I went off to see the early morning cuisine in the diner, a good quality breakfast for low money and accompanied by free tea/coffee, I went for a walk around the grounds taking my photos and did notice it was slightly down in attendance this year maybe it was the recession because it surely wasn't the weather... After a stroll I went to see the colossus trike show, amazing engineering in this trike and a top well thought out show, old saying with great power comes great responsibility... And the safety of the spectators was paramount and the team made sure of that...bravo!!!

Saturday afternoon was the humdingers up along with the bike show, great turn out again with a complete array of bikes and trikes on show. Here are the lucky winners -

Congrats to them all and next year ridesandrallies will be sponsoring the top prize for the rally, a special well done to knuckles who was a member of the club I was with there (Rebel Smugglers), in between the prize giving the humdingers did their sets and great entertainment in front of a largish size crowd on another flawless sunny day.

Saturday evening again was buzzing always a great atmosphere and never any trouble, the band playing was Fubar. I didnt even get a look in full again, so I sat outside the bar on the balcony talking to other BITM'ites and chillin out. I must admit in the years going to BITM I have never seen any trouble and that's brilliant - it's a real good rally with good food, ales, stalls and most of all well thought out entertainment...

I am already looking forward to next years it will soon come around...Well done to all the Muddy Bum Club for another flawless rally.

I would recommend this rally to any type of biker, as i seen for myself... This rally accommodates all bikers and thats great to see...
