    Hello all, can I ask does can anyone have a link to the ssuk web site please, I was wondering if it was worth arranging to bring the family for the day. Does anyone know what the ride/race/saunter has in store for us? Is it laps of a course, a huge ride around the midlands or a trip to the pub and back?

    I’ve tried googling it but there does not seem to be any info out there?

    Friday turn up at the campsite pitch a tent. .if you arr early enough, mooch off with one of the guided rides…sign in…get yiu goody bag….look at the shiny things you have been given for free by the gorgeous and remarkablly well endowed sex god organsiers…take part in thgiggly singletracker racing…make friends. .meet old ones. ..drink and party until sleepy time.

    Saturday- wake with a hangover. ..eat your body weight in cooked pig in a bun, riders get taken over to the start line (about 3 miles from campsite)….fk around for a bit cos its a single speed thing and we can’t be seen to be tooooo organised, ride a fab 4 lap event with some giggly single track, woopy bita, big drops and grunter climbs, partake of the event beer at the feed station (thats right..we even have a beer made just for us) someone cones over the line first boy and girl…we all ride back to campsite…give many many prizes…find out who has one the main super prize in a fking big surly box that has just arrived from the states..have your free curry… heckle….have some more prizes and freebees…listen to a couple of live bands and marvel that all of this has been organised by twonof the shonkiest mofos this side if the chuckle brothers

    it’ll be shite

    If i get there at 8.30 on Friday what will i have missed?

    also, a entrants list, as opposed to an entrance list, would be good.

    I shall be taking out my unofficial pebble polishing cloth on a ride tomorrow, but seeing as I have no idea where I will be going I might or might not polish the correct pebbles…

    But that seems to be totally in accordance with the nature of the event!

    Full Member

    Good point. I won’t be there until Saturday – so what time is the official registration, scrutineering and riders’ briefing please?*

    And will there be a check for anyone with any UCI sanctioned race licences so they can be “excluded”?

    *or when do I pick up any pre-event goody bags and chuck my bike on the big pile?

    rest of day,chill out,maybe do a bit of ridin,tidy up and then **** off.

    ok,so as you have now realised,this has all been ‘organised’ by a pair of idiots,ably assisted by a couple of hangers on,an general so called mates…(mahoosive thanks to all involved,you know who you are) and as such,all times are to be taken as vague,at best.

    there will be loads more to do,mainly more drinking and riding,but we really don’t know exactly when we will fit it all in,but we will try !
    Serious shit.
    1. the Chase is a very family orientated area,please don’t upset the locals,keep Sweary Mary at home (as much as poss)
    2. this is a private campsite,family run by a very cool couple,Kaye and Richard,without them,this event could not of happened.respect.
    3.every goody bag will contain a black bin bag,USE IT for all your rubbish,and please take it home with you after,we have no means of disposing of 200+ people’s rubbish (or rubbish people)
    always more bags from Rego if required.
    4.wildlife.the Chase is there for the ickle animals(and big eat-u-up feckers),burdies pretty flowers an that,an creepy-crawlies,etc,oh,that reminds me ,walkers and hoss riders and all.
    please don’t piss any of them off in any way.
    5.enjoy,partay on,be cool.

    cheers.

    Having just seen this post from tazzy, and reading this thread, I’m getting just a little worried that despite the protests from the organisers on here, they do actually appear to know what they are doing…

    How have we possibly let this happen to a SSUK event!
