Yup, I'll be there 😉
I'll also be there. 😉
i'm making the tea
sweet iv had a gander at there facebook page and its going to be a hell of an event.
Looks good - might have to make this my first semi-competitive event in, oooh, 15 years 🙂
When will one be able to register?
oops, double post!
Hopefully will be there!
I'll be there I'm really looking forward to it and can't wait to see all the other bearded ss weirdos, or nichemongers, or willy waving bullsh*ters (take your pick depending who's having a pop at us) 😉
now the question is which ss to take?
steel is real ss
or
scandiyummy speed freak ss
or

Not so sure you're qualified to come, the only thing you should be worried about is CHEEESE
My cheese is made in a shed in the woods by a man with a beard.....
Cheese is obviously my primary concern ( being French an all ) but will you please make sure that people walking keep off the racing line 😉
I'm not washing my genitalia to save water and the planet, so I'll have a world record ammount of "helmetdale or forskinzola" if that meets your cheese requirments sir? 😀
What crackers go with forskinzola?
I don't like cheese, but I drank enough whisky at SSUK to have a try of funkynick's niche cheese.
Hemp woven ones
Under crackers ,silly!
ritz with a side of phili
Please can I come too?

sheer genius
Please can I come too?
when registration opens try registering then if you get an invite the answer will be yes!
when does the registration open? more excited about this than the christian holiday over the pagan festival that involves a fat man emptying his sack.
It will open someday before April 🙂
Looks good. Better start on the beard fertiliser now
Sounds like the ideal event for a portly boke in his thirties riding a niche bike. Count me in.
cant grow a beard as i will set on fire at work 🙂 but my bike will probably be silly
Stick on beard Mick! That's what you need.
Yep, gonna have a go too. Asked if there was a prize for DFL, and apparently there's quite a competition for it, so I'm going to have to put some work in... 8)
ah yes now theres an idea mate 🙂
Or grow a beard and then put little loops of wire over your ears so people think it's a fake one.
I'll be there, it almost coincides with my birthday plus having to work cocked up ssuk09 for me so I fully intend to go beery wrong.
Sounds great. Count me in.
Does anyone remember those occasional STW FoD Singlespeed meets we used to do a few years back? Psling used to 'organise' them...
I bet the wokmongeringattentionwhores who organise it won't let me ride. 😥 😉
i heard it's invite only, so all you lot saying you are going had better get sucking up

Good point
Sheldon, invite me you ugly ginger fat knacker.
Mmm, really tempted, think I'll file for divorce now. 😀
I heard that it was more of a caption competition to get a place than an invite per se...
quiiiite tempted.
You have to perform "special" acts to get an entry. 😯
i'm thinking about cheese 😉
mike... never fear, I'll be finding even more niche cheese to bring... and whisky, if only to see the look on Sheldons face as he tries it!
😉 @ Nick
To get an entry, you will have to register an interest once we open the 'phone lines'* We will then decide how many places we will allocate to each country then send out some invites otherwise the Euro champs will be full of Brits making it SSUK and that's later in the year!
* Email really but phone lines sounded better.

Does it involve waving a hankie?

I quite fancied going until I read that. I think I'll just go for a ride instead now.

[puts hand up] I do ! 😉 [/puts hand up]
I understand there will be a local tax on each 26" wheel entered into ssec'10 and maybe a cheese / beer bartering service?

Sucking up [b]won't[/b] help you get an entry however completing the* sentence in less than 10 words with a funny or good answer will help 😉
*Sentence to be released soon, well before April sometime.
Hope to be there, and I have a non British passport so should be guaranteed an entry;-)
rocketdog.
It depends what colour it is.

Sucking up won't help you get an entry
That's good, I hate sucking up.
Bribery though, no problem.
Do Australians count as Europeans? We could conveniently lose the "...al..." bit 🙂

Trevor (rockstar racing) still has a few Carver frames in his cellar. I can put you in touch if you can't get hold of him. My mrs loves her Carver and works well ss and alfine'd
my hankie is lilac
sheldon what email should we use?
I took the liberty to post a link of the SSEC 2010 on VV (french forum) and a bloke from belgium seems to be interested.
Cheers
Juan
juan.
You have to wait for the entrys to open.
Just like everyone else.
If you are desperate to email the organisers though use this addy.
ssec10@gmail.com
but didn't sheldon talked above of "showing an interest" so that the number of spaces per country could be allocated?
Cheers

Indeed but read the whole sentence "To get an entry, you will have to register an interest once we open the 'phone lines'"
I'll publish an email address and what information we need when we're ready for entries.
Sheldon, are you planning an kiddy rides for little ones?
cheese..
😉
it all sounds like a right load of old toss

Sheldon, are you planning an kiddy rides for little ones?
No, not unless they can ride all day and keep up 😉
Mick_r could you give trevor a nudge for me regarding the carver frames, I've sent him an email from address on the carver bikes page, but no response as yet.
cheers for your help

Sheldon, are you planning any kiddy rides for little ones?
I thought the little ones just rode 26" rather than 29ers ??
What everyone has failed to take into account is the fact that here in the Forest we are not part of Europe or even the UK means you are all foreigners 😆 Please show passports when crossing the Wye, Severn or the A40
Could be right there Dave, thats why 650B is for medium sized people.
Mattsccm, we can tell the difference as the real FOD Dwellers have webbed feet and 6 fingers, thus anyone who is normal will be welcome.
Problem ! i dont eat cheese but i hope my niche bike will get over that small hurdle
SS whyte preston with a 24 inch front wheel and 26 inch rear ,, it does have teeth but it doesnt eat cheese either
Problem ! i dont eat cheese but i hope my niche bike will get over that small hurdle
Its not going to get you an entry unless its niche enough to make cheese ;-0

not to mention the oddly thick, curly white hair that covers a lot of their bodies.
And an aversion to mint sauce...
That Preston is a beauty!!!!
I will be there along with number one son.
If 650B is for middle sized people is he still allowed to ride?
