Is SS now part of the UCI?

Were you riding a spot ss today?

Might have been! Why?

Errr no its a mountain bike event!

but my 10 entry words were something like:
"me and mate will come ride it on cx bikes"

its not like i'm looking to win - just ride a bike

❓

but my 10 entry words were something like:
"me and mate will come ride it on cx bikes"

And I was supposed to take that seriously?

errrrrr yea???

😳

Ahhhhh ;-0

surely we can't be too niche for the knights of niche ?

my email is in my profile as its changed since entry

😉

I've mailed you but its still a mtb event!

"me and my mate will cum on our CX bikes"

Do you come on each others bikes or do you stick to coming on your own? 😯

I've mailed you but its still a mtb event!

i've no mail in my in box - please check your records for my new email address: martindddde AT googlemail DOT com - i did email you when it changed

it would be a shame not to be entitled to ride, i've been really looking forwards to it, i've rechecked the original announcement and it doesn't specify MTB anywhere, its all off road bicycles, 29er is 700c just fatter tyres innit, i was just hoping for a fun weekend of riding SS with other enthusiasts, it would be a shame to be barred, any particular reason?

Thought I saw you while I was stuffing my face with cake 😉

Nope, not really a cx course! And they're not allowed

he'll be saying you can't drink your own booze in the beer tent next

even the blazer wearers are more relaxed:

2.0 THE BICYCLE
2.0.1 BC in no way wishes to stifle the natural
evolution of the mountain bike in any
recognised discipline. To this end there is
only one requirement; that the bicycle is
solely human powered. Any bicycle used
in competition must be capable of safely
and efficiently completing the task and
must, as a minimum, be mechanically
sound, have efficient brakes on all wheels
and all reasonable steps must be taken to
ensure the safety of the rider and others.
As part of the latter, bar plugs are
compulsory.
2.0.2 If, in the opinion of a scrutineer and/or
commissaire, a bicycle fails to meet the
above criteria the rider must take
immediate steps to ensure the necessary
steps are taken to remedy the
shortcomings and ensure the
Scrutineer/Commissaires requests are
met. Failure to do so will result in
exclusion from the competition.
2.0.3 All bikes must use a wheel at the front and
the back which is no larger than 29” in
diameter.
2.0.4 For Four Cross an effective rear brake is
required

Do you come on each others bikes or do you stick to coming on your own?

depends whose on top 😈

Thanks BignDaft but we don't care about whatever rules they are! We make most of the rules as we're doing all the work!
Qwerty, email addy is the same as the one I have, just sent it again.

I will lend you a proper bike as long as you smuggle me in for the knees up! 😉

nununboogie, maybe we stopped for cake at the end too! You should have come over and said hello.

[b]I'M BACK IN !!!!!!!!!!!!!![/b] 😛 😆

Back to the important question.

Was the updoc on your shoe?

no BMX bikes either then? ;(

at least my BYOB plan is still OK

No, it flicked up off the front wheel and all over my face! Sorry for not replying earlier.

Postie. you might get away with sneaking in as we have no idea what you look like or that you haven't paid. 🙄 😉

BYOB, Bring your own bomb?

This updoc you are referring to, what is it?

No, it flicked up off the front wheel and all over my face!

So what was that on the back of your shoe then....

That was the Cadir Idris I think?

This updoc you are referring to, what is it?

Whats what?

It can't have been Cadair. As you were looking in the wrong place. 😉

This updoc you are referring to, what is it?

Maybe if you asked in a more direct way you'd get an answer.

updoc
buy updoc mugs, tshirts and magnets
Similar to updog but more child-friendly and universally applicable. Updoc was made popular particularly in the 1940s-60s through its endorsement by Warner Brothers.
Popular catchphrase: What's updoc?

??

no bombs, just booze, don't want to pay to drink the local rubbish

BnD.

Bring your own booze but be ready for the Knight Sampling Tax. 😉

^Wot Stu sed 😉 BnD What name have you registered under?

Ah look at you "getting the miles in" bub

Oh and we have a special Knightly Brew for a few in the lucky mine sweeper category
look out for the special containers

I found some updoc on my cx bike today

- any ideas ?

What's updock?

😉

DrP's big brother ?

all climbs and descents are walkable!

that's ok then I'll bring my walking boots and some nice red socks and a bobble hat as I'm a total mincer on hills. It'll be nice to push the singlespeed around a different part of the country.

You'll find out in a few weeks Clubber, they'll be prizes for people that find some 🙂

It's ok, I found some last night. Must have picked it up in Afan yesterday.

gutted im missing this ****in doctors ;-(

Ayatollahofniche....

Sorry if this has been covered but how long is the course and how many laps are we expected to do?

Its a single speed event so I would surmise:

1.long enough to make sure that the start and the finish meet up (small loop round a beer tent then)

2. until you get dizzy from either going round too fast or a beer overdose

It will be a number of miles with a few hundred meters of climbing. Number of laps tbd but take enough drink, food water to last until 15:00 and a bivi bag will come in handy when you get lost.

There really is more ascent than descent on the course, just to make it a bit more interesting like 😀

Conditions under tyre are dry, very dry... except for the muddy bits, that is 8)

There really is more ascent than descent on the course,

I found the climbing easy while being towed by your Landy. 😆

It'll take more than a Landy to tow you up the course!

It did appear to make the climbs more manageable, but it's a good job there are no left hand bends on the course...
