If you wouldn't mind reorganising it for the following weekend I'd be there. Sorry.
If you wouldn't mind reorganising it much closer to my house I'd be there too. Sorry.
OK. I'm in.

I reckon it sounds like a good weekend. If I'd not already signed up I'd sign up.
Can I have #1 number plate???
Reigning SSUK champ will be getting that!
Forget that.
Just give him a plate saying
Steve, the champ.
I could possibly do the Saturday. What's your crack with just doing one day?
Not done any SSing down that way.

Garburn Pass and Nan Bield

The geared bike is coming with me for those so haterz gonna hate
Already signed up before this
Looking fwd to it
Would my ebike be allowed?, I promise to keep it in one gear.....for the hills at least 😉
Missed out last year through chemo, but will be buying my ticket on payday if there are any left...
Disco dancing bartender?
Kenny yesssssssss!
Bull heart I would say so, doubt many SS,s will like the hike a bike 🙂
Ps. there is no hike a bike
Tom a colourful one please latex is fine!
Cool 😀 I guess the majority will be camping?, you up this way anytime soon?
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.
Is this a race or just a social?

It's always both. The race is up front is dead serious. The rest of us are beer swilling mobile chicanes.
[quote=chrispo ]Is this a race or just a social?
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?
Thanks. So how long is the race?
It's a Sprint to the beer stop and thats it I think
Should i bring my friend Balvenie? 😀
It'd be rude not to. And some Gil Scott Heron for a musical accompaniment.
^ That's just too bloody weird 😯 , currently listening to "Messages - Gil Scott & Brian Jackson".......are you hiding in the front garden?
The revolution will not be televised !!
DID SOMEONE MENTION RACE!!!! route will be decided on the day depending on how many marshalls I can muster but there will be a 12 mile preride with a hill climb competion SHONKY it will be
The entries are flooding in cheers guys and gals, lets keep single speeding weird 🙂
The band will will shit but hopefully everyone will be to bladdered to give a shit
There is still a vacancy for a latex whipping girl or boy free entry and as much beer as you can drink

Woohoo...I'm entered 😀 (not [b]that[/b] sort of entered) , my first ss event since we gave you Drumlanrig SSUK 2008, i imagine i'll be even more [i]wobbly[/i] 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 😀
I'm hoping for a late night rendition of Erasure again this year!
I'd rather he just brings a boot full of chocolate from work 🙂
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 [i]shennanigins[/i] 😀
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?
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
