Go vegan!!! I shouted that a few times today - fair play to him. All that way on no meat!!!???
the two guys on the bmx & kid's mtb were killing it all day. Overtook plenty of people on geared bikes; fair play to them.
some niche stuff here Singulars at the BBF
Thought the fat biffer vegan had snapped his bike last week?
Not done this event yet.. looks like you had cracking conditions! nice n dry
How many singulars did you spot RD? They're starting to look a bit common place. There must've been at least 5 of them at the WRT last weekend... don't remember seeing an Orange 5 though...
Quite a few, in fact quite a lot of 29ersthe of all types inc a lovely spesh FSR
Singulars aren't common, Dan the 5th just rides so quick you see him a lot!

RD, that is just a excuse fir a singular **** fest........
I'm not on any of them!
What! - none of my mankini?!
DrP
There you go..
!
Showed it to the wife. Her response: roll eyes and "nice"!
DrP
isn't the thong bit supposed to be at the back? #chaffe-tastic
Its even thinner at the back!
I was going to wear JUST the mankini, but my 'bits' would have spilt everywhere - not a good look....
Plus, there were kids about!
DrP
Go vegas!
Great day yesterday, and some great pics here - thanks.
Go Vegas!!
Great pics Rocketdog. Chuffed that you got a few of me on my Pegasus. I'll download them a bit later & send you a donation. Cheers!
it was you i shouted "pegasus + lefty, it's got to be pedalhead" to wasn't it? or was there a few running that combo?
as said above, there were a few Singulars about

singular by rOcKeTdOgUk, on Flickr
Yeah I think I was the only person there with that combo. Managed 2nd in Solo Singlespeed cat, well chuffed. There's no beating Dan though!
nice result, so Singular top 2 podium then!
yeah cheers. I think I confused everyone because I was wearing my Singular kit, although I don't ride for them...I just like the bike (and the kit!)
Keep performing like that and maybe Sam'll give you your next frame for free?!
I saw you rOcKeTdOg, but looks like your camera didn't see me. Good pics of a great event though, cheers.
you should be able to download the pics if you see yourself or one that you like
I think I may be being thick but how do you download them? Awesome pics by the way nice to see a bit of variation in the locations they were shot from rather than the obligatory camp out in one spot type affair.

heh wouldn't that be nice (though I'd settle for a new top...Sam?
).
Rocketdog, have sent a donation your way. Some of the pics have download disabled. These two for example (unless I'm being an idiot...which is entirely possible)...

Why, DrP; why?
don't suppose rocketdog or anyone else has a photo of me at the finish? I was the last person across the line before 9pm. I was riding a silver Yeti 575 with double vision. Would love a picture of me as it was quite a memorable moment.
Thanks to all those who screamed, clapped and shouted on my last lap.
pics should be ok to download now the ones in the "singulars at BBF" had different permissions to the "bristolbikefest" set
Ian Gillam at the top right of the pic is an + button to enlarge, click it and you should go to the view on black option, then click view all sizes and choose which to download
alternatively just right click on the pic and you should get a choice of sizes to download...oh and yea, i like quirky angles, but get a bit worried i'm going to startle riders by being behind trees etc!
nice one, all good now
I will go through all the photos checking but in the off chance is there any photos of the mixed pair 267??? Please.
