If we go with the earlier date we can have a bicycle wall of death.
Mid race brunch catering is booked now, with American mike
Charlie you sound way too organised for this sort of shonky affair 😛
I am so very nearly there on this.
Three campsites (fields) are in the running: on hill stones throw from pub. On hill a mile from the pub.. and miles from anything next to the harbour (but no campervans). While this is being nailed down, I will crack on with the club side of it.
The name of our club is looking like SSORRTS.. single speed off road reliability trials society. or Friendly association (of) Reliable Trialists (FART). But please feel free to help me on this. the gist is off road single speed reliability trials, if you need an S to make its better... "sportives".
So sometime around xmas/new year... I will let you all know the dates, where (here), how much (not much) and we are on...
Charlie's offroad cycling kings (of) sport?

^^^ s****s 😆
Charlie's offroad cycling kings (of) sport?
Charlie's offroad cycling kings (of) singlespeed surely? 8)
All hinges on the date for me , the unconfirmed may date is clear so far, of course also depends on me getting a new Singlespeed in time 🙂
That's better,
[b]C[/b]harlies [b]O[/b]ffroad [b]C[/b]ycling [b]K[/b]ings of [b]S[/b]inglespeed.
Not sure if it could be shortened or abbreviated though. Hmm.....

I vote DrP's suggestion.. 😆
I'm going to stay at a local hotel Charlie, so dates and location would be most helpful..
Charlie's Universal Niche Touting Society
😯 😆
Annual Reliability Singlespeed Event ?

Yes I too am waiting to book a holiday...............
Any update, or date Charlie 😆
Got a campsite, but worried about neighbours and noise, so checking out another option tomorrow.
Once this detail is nailed down, it can all flow.
Thanks charlie, above and beyond considering the hour 😉
The venue is riding distance, and at the the best pub in the world.
There is no way I could miss it! Just need to cancel a family holiday if its the end may 😉

all the details are up...
entry will be open as soon as the banking is set up sometime in the next few days.
great, the date change makes sense, now can do the WRT as well
Sweet. Glad the date is sorted, will get the wifey and I booked up as soon as we can. I am building her a singlespeed specifically for this event as she didn't want to be left out!
Mmmmm this sounds like my sort of thing.... Has there been any mention of a cheesestop ?
I think we will know who the real kings of speed are !
They can all upload there 'efforts' to that well known website.
Charlie
I'm sure we can put up with a bit of noise from the neighbours 😀
woohoo ! I'm in,but my dog probably not.........he cries if I ride without him 😀
just viewed the site, and we have a rather cool bomb hole set up with a fire pit in the middle. ace.
Charlie, whats the deal with non-riding family members tagging along for the weekend?
Sounds like a cracking weekend, Charlie - what's the deal with toilets & washing facilities?
whoop whoop.............
Date change, bugger that's me out 👿
dyfi or ssuk... ?????? 🙁
Bring on the beer and bikes 🙂
......... 😆sofaking - Member
dyfi or ssuk... ??????
I know you can't please everyone all of the time but why the date change? 🙁
toilets, cold water. all you need or indeed deserve.
non riding folk...probably the same, and they can have ashirt too... but will ponder this.
date change... its a question of getting a field when its free. the second BH is busier and loacl business were less willing to enterain us
Ah man! Just told the missus about this, and she said "What about your sons birthday?". Doh! Looks like I'll be missing this. Shame!
Get in! Building my first SS & also not out on a boat working. Count me in!! Charlie, sort out the weather and a bit of surf and we're laughing!
Best get a new tent
Tom83 - MemberAh man! Just told the missus about this, and she said "What about your sons birthday?". Doh! Looks like I'll be missing this. Shame!
I'm bringing my lad, might get him to ride - also bringin wife & daughter but not sure if the routes suitable for 'midwife' bikes!
They're gonna love it anyway!
My tent is fixed after some drunken lout fell into it at SSUK, oh yes that was me..............
So is the skatepark in Swanage any good? I might have to bring along my skateboard mad 14 year old son if I want a domestic pass for the bank holiday weekend.
non riding folk...probably the same, and they can have a shirt too... but will ponder this.
Charlie have you pondered ❓
Maybe he is busy designing the SSUKG stickers. 😉
There will be stickers right ?
Told the wife last night her reply:
wife: Won't the tandem arrive by then?
Me: Yeah but its got gears
Wife: can't you use one of those springy things and some washers?
Me: 😯
Not sure how to handle this....
With 'one of those springy things and some washers' obviously. You should be captain and her stoker so you can beat her round.
Glad my wife isn't on STW; I've had to build her a ss for this event as it is but if she saw the post above....
Oooh date change means I might be able to make it. 🙂
Time to convince my g/f that we need to go and see my parents (who live in Dorset) and as we're there ride some bikes!
nice mental images of an SS MTB tandem:
UP!
DOWN!
UP!
UP!!
UP!!!!!!
