All my lot kept go getting for me was pies 
Yup as above everything has to be done by who ever takes it on, however its just like organising a big party! There's plenty of people to ask to get ideas/info/advice from should you need it.
Really glad we gave it a shot and really enjoyed it but wouldn't want to do it again as our weekend was top and wouldn't want people to expect the same again as it took sooooo much out of us all.
PS The holiday and car was a treat though ;-0
Its a shame that everything is so organised these days and having to attend to everyones whim ie showers,insurance,cheese and making sure you have a good time needs to get back to the ghetto and sort stuff out on the spot!
Lets just hijack Mayhem(free camping and showers toilets)ride Friday night hurl obuse,eggs cheese beer @ the "normal riders" for the rest of the weekend.Only cost being a marquee/tunes for our beer tent 
Ride for free not as a number!
Where ever it does end up, we're still keen to help out with logo, t-shirts, merchandise etc after doing it last year and also for Shaggy's one in Brizzol.
Was keen to organise a Brighton one but Brighton Big Dog, plus another two other events in the planning means we're up to our eye balls, although happy to support. Plus we would love to actually make and ride the SSUK for the first time since 2006 
We'll be in touch should we win the rights!
One proposal has come in, going to wait another few weeks incase anyone else is interested is running it and needs some time to think it over.

One proposal has come in, going to wait another few weeks incase anyone else is interested is running it and needs some time to think it over.
Any more news on this yet?
It's feppin' miles from me (mind you, everything is, I live in That London) but if it was in Scotland I'd come up for the week beforehand and make my long-overdue 7 Stanes pilgrimage... FWIW
: P
A proposal has just been sent to the address on the SSUK site to hold it on the Strathpuffer course at Contin.
Contin would be ace. The Puffer course is good fun in the summer.
quantocks would make a good venue. lots of trails and there's a scout campsite there too...
Del, we've been looking into doing just that. Drop me an email (in my profile) if you're interested, as we're mostly Bristol-based and could do with a bit of local input to get things off the drawing board.
We have 2 proposals. Andy and myself will take it over and let the winning bid know ASAP. Decision and press release should be out by Dec 1st.

Good site and great trails and in the SW - ideal! Bring it on!
It sounds crazy but what about Delamere Forest, I'm more than certain you could set up a decent lap with plenty of features.
There's a few campsites that already exist in the area and I wouldn't mind betting that there'd be a land owner near the forest who'd let you use some field or another to set up site.
very interested - putting a proposal together - did the ssuk2010 and loved it - lets see what happens - would love to get involved if it has been agreed for a bristol based/somerset based event - know the quantocks/mendips really well - let me know
I know it's not really in keeping with the "single speed" feel but...
Decision and press release should be out by Dec 1st.
We're waiting
2nd of decemeber and we are still waiting 
I should probably state that LVIS isn't going to bid this year as we feel that the selection committee is corrupt and we're not willing to go down that road just to win the event
Or really we just can't get a venue we can be sure of this year so we'll aim for 2012 since there are no other big events that could rival us then...
We had a late proposal in that we had to consider, but can tell you a decision has been made!
I'll leave it to the 2011 hosts to say where, press release due out soon.
Cop out !
The Russians didn't get that too did they ?
It's not us 
(Unable to offer FIFA size inducements)
But in reality the best proposal won
the location has been announced on the STW twitter.......
Yep, it's going to be in the South East. I sent a press release out, but since we don't have confirmed dates or a venue yet I suppose it wasn't a very compelling story
In reality, it's probably quite like the World Cup. SSUK has been to Wales, Scotland, The North. Now it's time to have it near London!
I've set up a web page and a Twitter account for people who are interested in following it. The next major step will be to announce the date and venue which will go out to MTB websites too anyway.
sarf east, sarf east............... 
i can't cope with gears, don't expect me to understand twitter.
wtf is twitter?
Seat of the pants race organising - no venue, no date, just a location. I like it. Perhaps LVIS were trying to be too organised in advance...
Well there is a venue and a general date in mind, but it's not booked yet. Booking before finding out whether we would actually be running the race seemed a bit premature!
ahwiles - You can always just keep an eye on here!
Have the Gorrick boys got it?
And like I said, I don't know 100%, but I think the decision was mostly about sharing it around the country. We had Bristol not that long ago.
100!
It's not going to be at a Gorrick venue (not that there's anything wrong with their races)
Surprise suprise stw not doing the press release! We had the same issue with the Euros! And we're still waiting for the prizes to arrive (looks out of the window to see the postman drive off again with no box!)
Good luck with the event, looking forward to next year should be a fantastic year for SS events.
Eagerly awaiting the full when/where details, will have to get this booked
Will I have to get my passport stamped?
Good luck Aidan
It'll be quite a bivvy trip if you ride there again, Stuart!
