ITS OPEN….. http://www.charliethebikemonger.com/ssukg-18-w.asp

Done & entered. Chapeau Charlie!

I can’t wait.

Done

Done and a nice bit of accomodation booked beside the sea to keep the rest of family happy 😀

Thanks Charlie

Might have to build a SS for the wife now…

My old stamping grounds. Can’t go, but I wish you good luck and better weather, it looks a fab event.

Me and mrs pop are on it!

In, and a little excited…

Will be booking in the morning…

In.

And then checked google maps – 5.5 hour drive each way. Ah well…

In like Dinkey King! 😕 ❓

I was thinking

“Might have to build a SS for the wife now…”

Then I just realised I’ll got 2 SS’able bikes anyway!

Happy jangles!

in, all excited, feels like ssuk is back with a bang 😀

Booked the wife and I in. Can’t wait!

Money sent for me and betterer half…

I’m going to be in such a world of pain… I’ve hardly touched a bike in 6 months, and not ridden the single speed for about a year!

But then again, at previous SSUK’s I’ve only just about crawled to the start, having a stupid hangover, and then wimped out after being practically last after the first lap… so I doubt that will change this time either!

Me and my wingman are in.
See you all there

Yep, all booked, I’ll bring base camp and a fire, everyone loves fire…

In.

And we’re bringing the Bullheart 7.5 ton mobile exhibition truck…

😯

Bullheart 7.5 ton mobile exhibition truck

That’s a pretty big ” plus something ”

I was thinking more of cake or sloe gin 😉

Really liked the look of this…we have to go to wedding instead.

Aside from suggesting he’s playing away ill have to go next year

We’re in, myself, Mrs MTG and Mrs MTG’s daughter.
Two of us riding, possibly three if we can get junior interested in bikes and able to ride 25 miles on a single speed by May. 😉

Edit;
I paid by Paypal Gift. Will I get my entry confirmed by Saturday, or will I have to go in to a public forum sulk ?

MTG, I just read the pages again and found something I missed first time, (all entrants names in payment details – sorry Charlie!) there’s something in there about under 18s racing too. That relevant to MTjunior?

Doubt I will be riding by then but I might be able to drive down to watch.

I will try and rob some BBB water bottles or other stuff for you to give away as spot prizes if I do make it.

Thanks nedrapier. I’m sure I saw the under 18 thing when I first read it, then forgot when I came to pay.
It looks like I’ve just paid £30 for a 13 year old to camp when she could have got in for free. 😕

There’s 4 Cheesy Riders booked, I’m so excited I’m moist….

That’s a pretty big ” plus something “

I can’t afford a tent…

It’s got a microwave, coffee machine and a disability ramp. What more do I need?

And I’m parking up in a layby somewhere close, in order to not take up half the designated camping area!

What more do I need?

Beer fridge !

See you there 😀

Just seen this…UPDATE… CALIFORNIA FARM CAMPING IS SOLD OUT. PAY JUST £25 AND ARRANGE YOU OWN CAMPING.

Funds sent, currently NFA, what’s the alternative athletes village of choice for all you performance enhanced athletes?

I’m in. Missed the cut for camping, though. Is Tom’s Field the next best bet?

Tom’s Field the next best bet?

Unless you know something I don’t, Tom’s Field and Acton Field aren’t taking bookings. Just rock up and hope for the best. 😕

Guys,
I’ve entered and I don’t need camping yet I paid the £30.00 and cos’ I was so excited I didn’t realise you could pay £25.00.. 🙄 without camping..

I’ve mailed Charlie letting him know, so there is at least one more space for camping..

DO we get confirmation at all????
How does it work?

Have I been scammed???

That’s it….
I’m getting my <<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>> keys at the ready…

DrP

So, where is everyone else that missed California Barn going to be camping?
Charlie mentioned “Atlantic Park” 300yds up the road, but I can’t find any details. Had I not been bugging him with too many emails already I’d ask him. Thought it best I put it to the masses on here first.

Is it curmudgeonly of me to ask that as there is “no racing, no camping, no marshals, very little in the way of markings and no medics” what I get for my 25 quid?

Yes, yes it is 😆

I think maybe it is, but as you’re asking,

What about a list…

1) the benefit of a lot of thought, planning, angst and organisation. some writ over here

2) a bloody good time

3) entry to a club and a contribution to the event insurance that makes it possible

over you the rest of you…

It’s a very relaxed non racing reliability trial which combined with relaxed, non racing SSers should really test the reliability to the max. Oh, and beer.

Tom’s Field looks nice – a bit more chilled out than the holiday park and cheaper. I emailed them, but they don’t take bookings. So it’s first come first served. I’m not too worried where I sleep, as I imagine most of the fun will be happening at California camping or the pub.
