@BristolBears @BrisBearsFound @RugsyBMX you’re in it 🚵🏻

[Steve of the Shire @Rugsy01]

If you look closely you can make out Kingswood in the distance. Our campsite is flat with posh showers, toilets and village hall. Fab food from The Edge Coffee Shop, live music from the Blues Triad, Dead Dog Cider and Harry Round. Going to be a great weekend. #hots2026

So for those of you that haven’t yet purchased your HOTS 2026 tickets, what you waiting for..? We have camping tickets and day ride tickets on sale on our website so don’t hang around. Please share this post with all your mountain bike mates etc. TIA

Hope you’ve all had a cracking Christmas and got some MTB related goodies..?
Just a reminder that day riding tickets go on sale at 10.00 on Thursday, January the first. Camping tickets are on sale now if you can’t wait until then 😉 #hots2026

@SaintPiranTeam One of these would be a fantastic auction prize for our @HeavenSouth MTB festival next month…🙏🏻 We’ve raised over £150k at our event with 400 MTBers taking part….please make it happen 🚵🏻⛺️😎👍🏻

We’ve just taken delivery of this years HOTS socks which we really hope you love….and buy obviously. They will be on sale at a ridiculously cheap price of a tenner a pair. Last years socks sold out so get a pair as soon as you arrive at the HOTS HQ 🍻🚵🏻🏕️☀️😎

@JoeSims10 @1TeamInBristol_ Always believe 🔴⚪️🍻

[Heaven of the South @HeavenSouth]

Some camping tickets are on sale now and these will be going up on the first of January so don’t delay grab a bargain 👍🏻

[Heaven of the South @HeavenSouth]

We’ve been thinking that with the cost of everything rising we would keep the day riding tickets the same price as this years event. To help a bit more we are putting 50 on sale on the first of December for those that fancy getting an early Christmas present for a special one 😉

@Orbea @UKmadison Still no replacement battery and still without my @Orbea Rise….this isn’t good enough 😡 The Ark Cycles contacted me a week ago to say a battery was being sent….are you bringing it by cycle from Spain…?

[Steve of the Shire @Rugsy01]

My @Orbea Rise has been at The Ark Cycles in Stroud for over three weeks having had the battery die. @UKmadison have been emailed two weeks ago and no response with my bike just over a year old. It’s under a two year warranty so cannot understand the delay…?

[Steve of the Shire @Rugsy01]

@Orbea @UKmadison Email has been sent 👍🏻

[Heaven of the South @HeavenSouth]

Morning campers….only seven weeks to wait now. We hope your training is going well and the 💩 hasn’t stopped you getting out on the trails..? There are still camping tickets available for those who couldn’t get a day ticket…make a weekend of it ⛺️🚵🏻‍♂️🍻😎

[Heaven of the South @HeavenSouth]

Five more sleeps until you can grab a ticket or two for next years Heaven of The South event. Two new routes visiting some cracking trails and villages….don’t miss out and set your alarm in readiness for ticket sales at 9.00 on the first of January 😉🚵🏻🏕️☀️🍻

@NigelGPearson Best wishes Nige….hope you’re back healthy and in work real soon COYR🔴⚪️
