Looks good ....where do I sign up ???
omg I have the best postcard ever!!! It's from just 17 about 15 years ago.....
oooooh how cack, it looks like a trail centre and I thought it was all about cheeky tails. Bah corporate sellouts they'll be sponsored by cycling publications next 🙄
Not entering then Taz me old China 🙂
mmmmmmm, may well be washing my hair....would have been better in the midlands 😉
Midlands is full of clown bike riding attention whores though 😀
The website made my eyes go funny reading it (luckily there's not a lot to it!).
Makes note to put Tazzy on the shit list.....
Not really of course 🙂
The actual course has not been finalised yet, and as much as we'd like to make it all cheeky there's land managers, insurance, commissaries etc to satisfy, but we will do our best 😉
I don't have a post card! Must take a photo.
My post card must have been naff, not heard anything yet after posting mine?
Can i email you a picture instead?
i spy with my little eye... a rear mech 😯 (middle picture)
I Can Not Wait!!!
we going to be riding up a river then?
I shall be hiring out some of my fleet of silly bikes for beer, so if anyone wants a go on a jones, 69er or weigh weenie 29er let me know
tazz, you got owt with a leccy motor in? 😀
Assuming Kielder 100 kills my bike again, I'll be riding it fixed. Scared.
Just got wedding anniversary gift from Mrs APF.
Theatre tickets for Sept 29. SSUK has been in the diary for ages too, but I guess I'll be missing it 🙁
APF
that's not a river that's pure distilled singlespeediness flowing down the cheeky trail

I'm sure I can make a rudimentary propulsion unit using nothing but a hamster, 3 elastic bands, duct tape and the lid from a felt tip pen.
you'll be fine ton 😀
Ow Ow Ow.....will there be any shore to mince on 😯
need to buy a camera first.... 🙁
Can I just send a drawing (crayon) and a note from me mum please?

The twitter feed suggested those that had sent there postcard in were in. Nothing official sent out yet I don't think.
I've heard bugger all and I spent a whole management meeting creating a little work of art. 🙁
oh well I'll have to stick with proper racing for the year instead ( at least my liver and kidneys will thank me)

probably best you do. I hear that they've grossly underestimated the turbo/roller space required by you "proper" racers.

I think you'll find that's called the rollapaluza 😆
Emails going out this week, we've had to wait for the passing of the equinox before completing this part of the entry ceremony.....
NW MTB champs used to go off piste but still get insurance etc. How come SSUK has commissaries to worry about ?
Genuinely interested.
I don't think we do. There will be off piste at SSUK too.
Oh noes! I only sent my postcard in on Thursday, and by 2nd class post too... That'll teach me for being cheap with stamps!
Not sent a postcard in yet.
Will a worn out chainring, chain, cog and unused razor blade do instead?
Entry is still open...
I know that but what about the wornout/unused stuff?
I've got loads of that kind of stuff but no postcards.
stu, take a photo and make a postcard 😀

I turned the lid of a box into a postcard. You can post anything flat and light it it's got a clear address on it and a stamp in the right place.
I wasn't being altogether serious.
I'll see if i can get round to sending something off sometime before the event.
Just like my style of "racing" there's no rush. 🙂

Are you going to bully the postman just like you bully other racers too
It's all a bit of a faff isn't it? My entry has been waiting for a stamp for some time -it would be so much easier to email an entry
Before anyone else says it yes I am a miserable so and so blah blah
Peace out!
pop- you miserable bugger, it's not like you'll actually ride anyway, you'll get as far a the beer stop, drink your own (rather substantial) body weight in ale and then wobble to finish when it gets dark or your liver has dissolved. 😀
which is far better than Picto will manage,as he'll have a sniff of babycham and be found 6 hours later asleep in a ditch
Taz- I've read your description of my race tactics several times to see where I am going wrong and I can't see it- sounds like the perfect race to me!
ssjeff.
Unlike your AWSUM self i don't have the physical pressence or beard to bully my postie. 😐
Anyone heard anything after entering?
I'm looking forward to my fifth SSUK, even though each year I seem to finish less of the race and not party as much as I did the first year (2005). Maybe thats the key, party harder and race better?
i dont remember much after the beerstop last year 😀
