Can anyone tell me how to enter please? Maybe I'm being a bit dim but the pre entry has confused me. I'm not entirely without a sense of humour but I dont really get the whole 'cheese' thing and does it mean if the organisers dont split their sides at your ten word phrase does that mean you cant enter?

You've probably missed the boat with this.

1. You told them you wanted to enter and come up with a witty phrase

2. If they liked your phrase they sent you the details on how to actually get your entry in. That was a few weeks back though...

I am sure Sheldon will be along shortly (or when he is sober) to let you know if there are any places left or a waiting-list.

Whats not to "get" about cheese? Goes great with crackers and easy to eat while drinking beer....

You wouldn't want an entry anyway.

I hear the organisers are a bunch of nichemongering attentionwhores.

And don't call it a race. Think of it as a big ridey party of cheese and beer rudely interupted with a brief Interlude of what has been referred to as "competative substitute" and possibly marketed as "I can't bleive it's a race"

I also hear entry is closed to Brits now but don't let that stop you having a go.

Well it's really a festival with a race but one that hopefully lacks the unfortunate levels of seriousness and grumpiness seen at some races.

Or maybe I just have to work harder at my studied "I don't care" attitude ๐Ÿ˜‰

I hear that they are promising 20% less cock-end content than other races in 2010.

I was expecting more like 25 to 35.5% less. 20% is pretty much just within standard deviation for bike events... Hmmm... More cheese and fewer beards required I think.

Basically its our party so we will do what we want :)we're putting in the long hours organising all the stuff that needs to be done.

On a serious note we are totally over subscribed by more than 100 people so we've increased the places and sent out over 300 invites with another 70 odd on a reserve list. We will more than likely send some more invites out at the end of Jan, so registration isn't closed by any means.

As for cheese, if you don't bring any on the Friday night you won't be getting in to the party:-)

100% less because anyone who is trying too hard or turns up with a turbo trainer will be shot.

I'm sure all those that post a good time in the night before roller race for pole position will get their reward.

Well I'll take the dr title if you say so ๐Ÿ˜‰ Mind you LVIS actually does have two proper official a d everything doctors on board. Came in useful at the bikefest last year unfortunately.

I like the idea of space hoppers though ๐Ÿ˜†

Dear Mr. space hoppers,

Can I order 300 or so space hoppers so we can do a le mans style mtb event on them?
Oh and can we get your best price please as the budget is tighter than a ducks arris?
If it helps we're trying for the worlds biggest cheese board/party we could tweek this to make it happen on the wee orange fellas?

Many thanks

I think Rothan racing for grown-ups (may actually be scarce at the event) sounds like a good idea.

eg the "zero speeds at the single speeds"
