As the title says, that's where it's going to be, over the weekend of 15th-16th September. There'll be all the usual stuff; a bit of riding, a bit of racing (which will be on the beach), live music and cheap beer. If you don't have a singlespeed just disable your gears and join the party.

Already in 🙂

What's the course and other riding like? I'm debating coming on the CX bike as I'm planning on riding down from Reading and don't really fancy 100 miles of roads on the fat bike!

There will be a prologue up over a hill with 'refreshment' and big views at the top. The decider will be on the beach, which will be flat. As per the website, anyone caught with cheekily high gearing will be penalised.

Sorted ….If you would like to stay for longer than the two nights of the event you will have to arrange that yourself with the campsite.

Anyone coming a day or 2 earlier, I’d be happy to show you a few local trails! 😉

Me and my brother are coming down on Thursday. He isn't a single speeder, so I've told him about taping over his gear levers (and possibly to expect a bit of ribbing! )

I don't do Facebook but just heard that souvenir T shirt and Towel orders close on the 22 August. Details on the SSUK 2018 page apparently.

Can we not have it on the first weekend of September this year? Means I can never go as it's the start of term.

When Charlie ran it in Dorset it was the May Bank Holiday, which was perfect 🙂
