Just done 5 test laps of the course, times between a fast 45mins to a more leisurely 1hr 20min

Good and dry at the moment and one bit to be finished tomorrow, otherwise looking good to go

14km lap with 3 big climbs 1200ft of climbing

Don’t forget, it’s not a race, just a big ride out with friends 🙂

I,m racin sod the beer bellied brigade,will do my drinking/dancing the night before 😉

3 big climbs 1200ft of climbing

…Don’t forget, it’s not a race, just a big ride out with friends

If it’s not a race, how am I going to come last?

I just dont get it people spouting about SSUK and how much they are going to drink! FFS. Dont we ride bikes because of the buzz of riding or is it all about the look @ my Indyfabby bike and look @ all my smooth welded pipes,**** it I will look a dick if I actually took up the challenge of riding because I look so much coolie 0 drinking warm beer!
Organisers seemed to have gone to a great deal of effort to sort out a RACE course so bring it on.

See you on the race line

Rich

How about if we combined a excellent course with an opportunity to pull over, have a light beverage and maybe discuss those smooth welds…

Might even feel the need to flick through some high quality pornography while consuming said “light beverage”

Then possibly, pop back on your bike and carry on along the rather nice course

Never know, might work…

last year’s course wasc superb, the “light refreshment ” halfway round allowed me to ride with only one hip flask, defo drink and ride hard!!

Camp plan sounds good to me Rich.

You bet beard gone,legs shaven

Like Kentucky Fried Chicken without the crusty coat!

Cripes I was thinking of putting a bigger gear on as it’s “practically” flat around Dalby.

Oh and it’s definately a race ;0)

See my ideas even better, I’m turning up for the drinking, then just watching everyone else ride around!

Ok ok I “may” bring the camera and do a little marshalling to help things along.

I’m offended someone said “gay”

And we’re not even at the “race” yet.

BTW my welds are betterer than anyone elses and I’ve got some gayporn to look at while all the ” mannlytypes ” are trying to ” beet” each other.

Theres pornography and light beverages there ! are their any places left?

Since when have drinking beer and racing been mutually exclusive?

Looking forward to it.

:^)

I’ll be hoping to improve on previous 4th place finishes. Maybe with a 4th place? I’ll be riding, but not racing. I’m just going for the free stickers really 😉

Will there be signposting to the site from the roads? I’ll be arriving by this route: http://tinyurl.com/darlotossuk

miketually ~ not the way your coming in, well not until you hit the forest road, hope your doing that route on a bike, would love to see you get a car down some of those routes

Give us a shout when you get to Lockton’s village shop and we’ll guide you in 🙂

beer? Nah mango vodka for this mangonicheattentiknwhoreantisailor.

Hope you’ve had the extra stones on order for the stoning of anyone who looks racey or has a turbo trainer.

Yes, coming by bike. Going to firm up a route this week; plan is to follow Sustrans W2W signs to Egton, then head south. I’m assuming that I’ll either see signs for the forest, or hit the main road and ride in from there. Anything on that route unridable on a loaded up silly bike?

Will Saturday’s ride take in any of the course?

Why you going to be looking for the bits you’re not going to ride again…..

Mike.

That is superb!

Shakes head at JC, you’re soooo racey.

Having just been round some of it on 32/16, I’m definitely thinking 32/18.

And definitely not racing, unfortunately though I seem to have lost the ability to drink (though not the desire).

Not me, I’m not cheating this year

What ratio for walking and sipping whisky?

Sheldona – 22/14 – less weight to carry

Is that 22 steps to 14 slurps or 22 slurps to 14 steps? 😉

Got it, like your thinking!

No Mike, this type! Needed for anyone who is getting too keen about the course 🙂
