Loaghtan Q helps the Olympic Torch on its journey round the Isle of Man. Good job that man 🙂 selflessly promoting the Flock!
Elliott,
We are all sorry to hear about your terrible accident and tragic loss of a close friend our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family and friends.
Everyone at Loaghtan Loaded MTB would like to wish you a very speedy recovery and back to your normal cheery self. We hope to see you up and about soon and would love to see you at the event to support your fellow team mates and everyone else.
Get well soon mate.
The Flock!
One of our founder members took a few hours out one Saturday for a photo shoot around Conrhenny Plantation with a young and very talented photographer, Amy Bannister. Please be sure to head on over to the Gallery Page where you will find not one but THREE galleries of Amy’s fantastic shots.
I think you will all agree once you have seen the photographs she is one very talented young lady who we all hope to see out again very shortly and wish her all the best for the future.
On behalf of the organising committee of the Longest Day, Longest Ride and Loaghtan Loaded MTB I would like to extend my sincere thanks to everyone that has been giving up their spare time to help prepare the course for the event.
Without your dedication and support the course would have been considerably different. I must also extend our thanks to Jason Bolt and Graeme Watson from DEFA for their kind permission to undertake work and their support and belief in our club and the event.
Below is a copy of the consultation response document from the Water & Sewerage Authority’s consultation on recreational access to it’s reservoirs and surrounding land.
This morning (Saturday) saw a small group (Coops, Gadge, Will, Selwyn, Cam, Dave, Sue and Scott) head to the trees for a spot of trail building. We would like to say a big thank you to everyone that has helped us so far and to remind others, there is still plenty to be done so if you have a spare hour or two please get in touch with either Coops (coops@loaghtanloaded.com) or Gadge (gadge@loaghtanloaded.com) for further details.
Hi,
I saw your club on the British Cycling website, and wondered whether any of your members would be interested in riding the “Heaven of the South” event in Gloucestershire on Saturday 19th May 2012.
It’s an endurance / reliability event with a choice of 75km and 50km routes that take in the best singletrack, fire road, bridleway and minor roads on the southern edge of the Cotswold escarpment. We’ve tried hard to link up all our favourite bits of local off-road, and to minimise the amount of tarmac road.
The ride is run as a charity event – last year we raised just under £4000 for local charities.
We’ve got camping (both on the Friday and Saturday evenings), a bar, hot showers, catering, plus live music and roller racing on the Saturday evening.
Entry is £30, or £40 if you want to camp overnight. Non-riding family members / friends are free!
Entry via our website

Feel free to email me if you’ve got any questions.
Hope to see you there.
