So who will be coming to the SSUK?
Grant? Rich? Anyone else I have meet at SSWC07?
So I can plan my trip as plane tickets ain't cheap anymore.
Mucho love...
Me and the Mrs will be there representing The Knights of Niche.
depends on a) whether there are places left (?)
and b) whether i'm on a internship in tajikistan...
SSUK08 was super duper.
Juan, I had a look at this and I just can't make it, sorry.....
🙁
Bugger I another year I cannot make it!!!!
Well I haven't registered yet. I need to find a buddy to go with as I can't really afford/ see myself flying from france with bike and kit and taking the train from the airport to the camp site...
I know I know I am a big wuss
I live in York; it would be rude not to.
By the way anyone got a SS / SS frame I can borrow / buy cheap? 18" Inbred or similar would fit.
Iain
Juan,
Depending on where you're based (OK France but it's a reasonably big place)get the boat to Hull and someone will pick you up I'm sure (I'd do it if I get the bike and the entry sorted).
Iain
Boat? To Hull? From France? North Sea?
3 weeks of chucking up?
😯

igm I was more thinking in the lines of plane 😉
But why not if I win the lottery I'll buy a sail boat and sail to hull 😀
world cup weekend innit! i'll be at fort william
Igm I've got an 18" Steel Kona frame available if you are after a SS frame.
gonna be in Åre, Sweden that week
Swedish SS Champs same weekend
Myself and my good lady will also be there representing the Knights of Niche 🙂 With a cheese board 🙂
I'll be there.
Whats wrong with doing the French SS Champs if £££ are tight?
sheldona
dont make me laugh
French dont SS, plus uk introduced me to ssing so only fair I do the UK one...
And it's another occasion to see people I have left behind
:'(
You mean, what's wrong with doing the French SS Champs if €€€ are tight? 🙂
Yes Mike but I have no Euro key on my keyboard! And Juan I know a few SS'ers in France and I understand they have a few SS events through the year. Also one to think about is the Euro's this year in Dresden Germany and same weekend as SSUK, saves the boat/air fare 🙂
Sheldon.
For a minute there I though you were going to say the Euro's in........
😉
I'd move away if we have that micky mouse money over here :p
When are entries out. I thought it was going to be April 1st?
The Swedish Champ and mrs Champ are comming too we also have a cheese board
Hopefully will be there will be around the area for the week as I,m on holiday.
Dont forget to have a trip to the Seaside in Scarborough can sort out an offroad route most of the way there on the Saturday!
I'll be there! :0)
well...i will be if I remember to register on the 13th!
I'm planning on having a go
I'll be there... assuming I pull my finger out of my arse on the 13th that is...
I'll be the slow fat drunk one on a bike... oh, but that doesn't single me out much at SSUK does it.. 😉
I'll be out to play.
It's only open to the first 350 entrants.
I'll be there. Number one son is comng too.
i think i will be having a go......just for fun like. 8)
im goin to miss this, boo, right, need new job so can buy new bike! and ill get this one insured 🙁
im hoping to do it. thats if i get a singlespeed in time 🙁
not having much luck finding one at the mo :-/
Riofer - Thanks for the offer and I'll bear it in mind. I think for preference I'm looking for a disc brake frame though (and I'm assuming the frame is the one you mentioned in a previous post) 'cos although a V-brake itself is relatively cheap I'd have to source a new rear wheel as well.
That said any idea of the seat post diameter and what length fork it would take (I've only got 130mm+ or museum piece Pace 80/100mm around at the moment) - it just gives me an idea of what it all mounts up to.
Or in other words I could order a new Inbred plus a single sproket, spacers and chain tug and then use all the bits off my 456 'cos they're the same size. If I start needing V-brake, wheel with braking rim, new seat post etc it can start adding up quickly.
Drop me the details if you want to iain(dot)miller(at)ce-electricuk(dot)com.
Iain
igm - It would take your Pace forks, but probably not your seatpost (I think it takes a 27mm). So a new wheel and seatpost would be required as a minimum. Let me know if you want some pictures.
Rio
Riofer - let me have a think. I won't jump until I've got an entry anyway.
Iain
Me and mrs singlespeeddan will be there. Provided i remember to register.
Im heading up with a group - Juan, I live half an hour from Gatwick - could probably pick you up and take you up to SSUK09 - as long as we get tickets sorted!
email me if your def. going
jim
Loads of updates on there now, there's even a real map 🙂
The Oxleys will be there.
thanks everyone.
Jim plan so far is to make the trip with a riding friend from southampton
But I'll let you know it's very kind of you to offer
XJ
Yep, 3 of us are planning to travel up.
Might even posh it out in a mates VW Camper this year! If he can get it on the road in time that is 😉
Yes, been two years with out going due to a shattered ankle and weddings. So 2009 will be my trumphant return. I can't wait. My mates are all being a big bumch of gimps about whether their GFs/wives will let them so I may be coming on my own as there is now way I am going to miss it.
Anyone else coming from Cambridge/Norfolk?
Hey Ski did you mean PUSH your mates VW camper ?
If its air cooled you maybe should think of leaving now !!!! 😀
We will definately be roughing it in the Big Green Bothy
