<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For those of you who, on reading Day 3 of my John o&#8217;Groats to Land&#8217;s End page, wondered or asked about my joy on finding a &#8216;<em>Mint Sauce&#8217;</em> cycling top in the charity shop in Golspie, I have now added an expanatory link:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thisiswhy.ip3.co.uk/thisiswhy/about.html">www.thisiswhy.ip3.co.uk/thisiswhy/about.html</a></p>
<p>And, hoping they don&#8217;t mind, a taster from the site:</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img alt="" src="http://www.thisiswhy.ip3.co.uk/thisiswhy/Images/229feb05leaveus.jpg" width="160" height="218" align="absMiddle" border="2" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">&#8220;Created by Jo Burt and published monthly in <a href="http://www.mbuk.com/" target="_blank">Mountain Biking UK</a>, the long running Mint Sauce cartoon appeals for many reasons. It can be funny, poignant, symbolic, subliminal, spiritual, uplifting, perceptive or just plain weird. One thing it always is, however, is rather beautiful, reflecting the background to mountain biking itself. The strips have evolved from simple black and white panel strips to the multi- coloured works of art they are today. The series is full of symbolic references, long running jokes, drama, poetry, song lyrics, fine landscapes, and some less than top form mountain biking.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The site is there to share some of the sheep&#8217;s finer (and perhaps less fine) moments, and to delve back into the rich nineteen year history of the world&#8217;s only famous imaginary ex-farmyard mountain-biking cartoon cycling livestock ever to grace the pages of a national monthly cycling magazine.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Our son, Kenny, loved mountain biking as a young lad and subscribed to Mountain Biking UK magazine. He loved the Mint Sauce cartoon strips and we could often hear his chuckle from under the torch-lit bedclothes when he was supposed to be sleeping but was reading instead.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Gus used to take him to various mountain biking events and there was one memorable story Gus relates that I love. He and Kenny had gone mountain biking together up to Glendoll. Gus says the path they were on was narrow and rocky and he kept falling off his bike and rolling down the hill into various bushes, rocks or nettle patches. Eventually, Kenny sighed at his incompetence and instructed him, &#8220;If you&#8217;re going to fall,  Dad, you have to fall up the way!&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Duh!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Check out the Welsh Special Edition of Mountain Biking UK magazine on sale tomorrow &#8211; June 1st.</p>
<div>
<p>You&#8217;ll see our advert alongside a feature on the recent Fetish UK Gravity Enduro series round which took place at Coed Brenin over an extremely wet and wild weekend. Several of the teams taking part stayed with us &#8211; bet they were <strong>REALLY</strong> glad that they were in a nice, warm dry log cabin and weren&#8217;t camping!</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>There&#8217;s also the first feature with brilliant photos of the soon to be opened Antur Stiniog &#8211; One Big Adventure Gravity Bike Park alongside Llechwedd Slate Caverns at Blaenau Ffestiniog.  This is a wonderful new development with 4&#8230; yes 4, downhill / free ride trails, uplift service (with push up track coming soon for outside of uplift running hours) and a Visitor Centre with cafe, showers, bike shop and roof top viewing area.   We&#8217;ve also been told that there will be a separate free ride skills area built along side of the Visitor Centre.   There&#8217;s loads of parking on site.co</p>
<p>Get a flavour for what riding here is going to be like <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKF0WWA1fCQ" target="_blank">here</a></p>
<p>I also love <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22K4SZV1k0A&#38;feature=relmfu" target="_blank">this film</a> of the build.  The music is no reflection of my thoughts about those who participate in hard-core downhill mtb&#8230; honest!</p>
<p>Next year, the new Tan-y-Grisiau Lake XC route will be opened.  This will be a spectacular ride!  Having walked the area regularly I can tell you that the scenery is immense!  Just west of Blaenau Ffestiniog and a short ride from Antur Stiniog it will be well worth the visit&#8230; great cafe by the dam too!</p>
<p>We were enormously proud to be asked by the Antur Stiniog Team to do a presentation, at the launch of Eryri One Big Adventure back in March, as a showcase of how local accommodation providers should cater for the mountain bikers visiting the area.  We were also featured on ITV Wales News as part of the project.</p>
<p>This new Centre is about 15 &#8211; 20 minutes drive from Cadair View Lodge Log Cabins and boosts the number of &#8220;official&#8221; trails that are within an hour&#8217;s drive of our accommodation to well over 20!  Far too many for ONE weekend&#8217;s stay!</p>
<p>And finally, Mountain Biking UK features the Wales Coast to Coast route which comes right past our front door!  If you are coming this way remember that we offer single night stays all year except Christmas and New Year.  We have a pub 5 minutes away for food (including breakfasts)  and &#8220;refreshment&#8221;.   Our famous Welcome Basket provides basic provisions (bread, milk, tea, coffee, etc. washing-up liquid, loo rolls) is standard with EVERY stay.  We can also have bed linen on your beds for when you arrive exhausted!  And don&#8217;t worry&#8230; we&#8217;ve seen a muddy shower or two in our time!</p>
<p>Enjoy the magazine and we look forward to seeing you very soon.</p>
<p>For more information about what we offer <a title="Cadair View Lodge Website" href="http://www.cadairviewlodge.co.uk" target="_blank">See Our Website</a></p>
<p>To book, or for more information call me, Sue, on 01978 759603 (office hours usually 10am &#8211; 7pm Monday &#8211; Friday and weekends).  If I am out leave me a message and I&#8217;ll call you back.</p>
