Still struggling for something to do this bank holiday weekend? Can't bear sitting on the M5 behind 3 miles of caravans? Looking for an excuse not to have the in-laws down? Then join us on Cooper's Hill in Gloucestershire for a truly special day out in the countryside. Think of it as "rambling meets celebrity death match" as you and your fellow competitors hurtle down a (very) steep hill in pursuit of a large piece of cheese... The first race starts at midday but if you want to take part or spectate you'll need to be there by 10.30am otherwise you'll be spectating from the car park as this year thousands are expected. For more info go to http://www.extremetrifle.com/3/cheeserolling_intro.php. See you on the hill!
There's only 25 days to go but there's still time to sign up and get yourself on this blast round Europe on Honda C90's. As we speak competitors are undergoing final preparations to their race machines with some of them expected to exceed the 50mph barrier. First stop, the Le Mans 24hour race where the partying is legendary. Then on to the main event, some laps of the historic Nurburgring race track in Germany followed by a cultural (!?) visit to the Stella Artois factory in Belgium. As usual the plan is as loose as a wizard's sleeve. Just turn up at the Flying Fish pub in Denton (Newhaven) at around midday to join the fun. It may help if you've actually booked the ferry as well otherwise you'll only get 3 miles before drowning in the Channel. For more information go to http://www.extremetrifle.com/2/ringsting_intro.php
Blimey! Only 76 days to go now until this summers BIG ONE - the Rickshaw Rampage! This year will see us going North taking in the spectacular diversity that India has to offer. If we're not partying in "Pub City" Bangalore or relaxing in Goa then we'll probably be on the side of the road making emergency repairs to our Rickshaws for the umpteenth time before finally making it to Mumbai in one or more pieces. The places have filled fast with entries from all over the planet. Only Antarctica has yet to put in a team. The organisers have really pulled out the stops on this one and we can accommodate some additional teams so if you want a summer holiday like no other then register now! http://www.extremetrifle.com/2/rickshawrampage_intro.php Co-drivers wanted: It would seem that some folks out there only have sensible friends and can't persuade someone to come on the trip. If you would like to come but can't find a co-driver then we are proud to offer our very own match-making service and put you in touch with others who are in the same predicament. Obviously we can't guarantee you'll like them - but hey you might even fall in love and get married ahhhh (and then quickly divorce once you start arguing over the directions to Panjim). Sponsors wanted: If you are interested in being one of the sponsors of the Rickshaw Rampage and taking advantage of the considerable worldwide media coverage then please contact us at sponsorship@extremetrifle.com. You can help in many ways, big or small and it all helps us raise that bit more for charity. So there you have it folks, it's a mouthwatering bowl of events and there's plenty more chilling in the fridge. And remember...it's not the taking part, it's the breaking down that counts!!
