i agree

ssec 2010 was the most fun weekend I've ever had at a bike race. It was excellent, what with a laid back atmosphere and whatnot. Certainly more enjoyable than Mayhem.sits.bonty etc (imo). Any of the above rides would be good. The wife isnt giving me time off to go belgium or ireland so i'll deffo be at ssuk in 2011.

I thought it was carp.

To much beer, cheese and attentionwhoring for my liking.

it's an expression of individuality...

i was camped next to the french, very civilised, no attentionwhoring and they kept the cheese (their secret stash) under wraps.

to much beer and cheese made one fellow dash across the road for a dump in the woods. frantic, i tells ya. ๐Ÿ˜ณ

The problem with SS races/events in this country its not about the riding its about being sooooooooooo differant and drinking alcohol,in my experiance many of them cannot ride uphill or drink, many of them beer dodge @ a professional level.

See you all in Ireland!
