    Really wanted to go this year as it has been the best MTB event I have done but too far this year. I hope you get sorted all the people you need.

    It’s always both. The race is up front is dead serious. The rest of us are beer swilling mobile chicanes.

    there is a race as well – I just bimble along cursing that the hills are so steep.
    I am hoping for better views this year and worse hills.

    Good work Rich. Done entry for me and Tom (he was 1 at his first SSUK, but this will be first time actually racing), plus I’ve sent you a mail with an offer for some marshals.

    And Kenny is coming!

    Finally a very special frame is being fabricated….. my father’s day present is some garage time 🙂

    p.s. have you sent out an email for the non-Facebook mailing list folk – I didn’t see anything?

    Woohoo…I’m entered 😀 (not that sort of entered) , my first ss event since we gave you Drumlanrig SSUK 2008, i imagine i’ll be even more wobbly this time around but at last…I have a valid excuse 😀 not drink/drugs related – i remember spending quite a large amount of time being picked up from the dance floor as Scott/The Assassins played , dunno quite how much riding i’ll be doing but that’s not the point really is it?…… be good to catch up wi all the usuals.

    Looking forward to it 😀

    Afraid to say i quit a few weeks ago mick, although i’ll bring you down a bag if you like (apparently i can still go in and help myself) – dark, white, milk or just grab a bagful and run like **** (actually shuffle slowly out of the door)?. 😉

    I’ll pop into work and make us all a proper version of Millionaire shortbread with decent milk chocolate, rum caramel and shortbread to hand out to all, I imagine the horrific calorific content will soon be burned off with shennanigins 😀

    Mmmmm shortbread….

    Actually just drunk a Hawkshead Windermere Pale Ale and jolly good it was too – so that’s my Friday night planned.

    Slightly OT. I usually bring something different to SS events.

    At the SSEC I was challenged to bring a wooden bike to the SSUK, and my challenger will do like wise.

    So, spreading it around – how many wooden bikes can we get there. 🙂

    How wooden?

    epicyclo

    You going to join in?

    As much wood as possible.

    Prototype sketched out. I’ll probably be pulling splinters out of myself for weeks…

    (Already got wooden handlebars 🙂 )

    I’m already fairly well committed to heavy metals for this next frame and really need to finish it. However I do have a mostly wooden unicycle in the attic – will dust it off for some photos.

    I’m not committing to building a wooden bike… But one may appear.

    There will definitely be some wooden riding 🙂 does bamboo count ? Will be good to see you Kenny hopefully Sheldon and his mob will be there 66 places left. Price goes up with one month to go #justsaying
