    The course is at Tackeroo, Scruff – although the camping isn’t.
    Don’t know how it’ll be marked out though…

    May I be the first to say, nice course boys (even if the drop did take me 3 attempts).

    course was great, drop was great fun, if a little of a shock on lap one getting an uncomfortable amount of air off it!

    Its amazing how 200 riders on pretty much the same gear can travel at so many different speeds, pretty sure the Singular guy at the start was on a proto Singular ebike 😀

    Top job Taz and Keef. I had a blast at my first event, I won’t base all “races” on this one though. :-). Thanks for a great weekend of riding, drinking and meeting new people.

    Yep – great event. Massive thanks to Taz and crew. Loved the course – chuffed to clear ‘that’ climb on 4th attempt! I liked the SSUK14 beer. 😀

    That was a whole lot of fun! Thanks Keef, Taz and all who helped. Proper ale on tap too!
    Course was good fun. Nice drop to keep you on your toes, ace twisty singletrack and great company – singlespeeders really are the nicest bunch of mentalists you could hope to meet. 😉

    Actually the TdF is very similar – they just try to keep it away from the cameras

    Superb weekend. Great to meet everyone there.

    I appear to be in the middle of qwerty’s first pic 😳

    Just to echo what I wrote on FB – absolutely top weekend for weather, riding and general socialness. Massive thanks to Taz, Keef, Deaky, Wayne and all the friends and family that made everything happen 😀

    Now to get a t-shirt upgrade on my XT one ready for next year 😳

    I am sure next year will be just as unique, enjoyable and well organised… 8)

    Perhaps a Quantocks event some time in the future??!!

    PS – anyone got any photos of the roller racing please? ❓

    Indeed, fantastic course, fantastic people, and fantastic beer. Thanks Keef and Taz 😀

    @ Oxymoron Pffft you got lucky – I was chatting to you on the gate as they wanged bikes FWIW

    TAz said all the photos would be on a FB at some point and they were taking pics of the race,

    Awesome weekend of fantastic riding even with the dodgy ribs

    Big thanks to Tazzy and Keef for all their efforts and to all who helped make it an awesome weekend

    See you all in Yorkshire

    Quite literally just finished building the shonkiest SS bike ever made.

    And, as I wasn’t next to Bazz, in that photo, I must have been “watering the trees”

    What a great weekend – nicely topped off by my maiden run round ”follow the dog”thimorning- took great pleasure in single speeding past all of the geary types, as they pushed up the big fire road climb (don’t know if I was more surprised than they were )

    Hazzah…
    “I’m number three.. I’m number three..”!!

    What a cracking weekend guys..
    My Saturday evening was ruined by the mother of all migraines… I was tucked up in bed vomiting at 1930… And alcohol had nothing to do with it!
    At least we were some of the last to leave the bar on Friday!

    Great course -not easy in the slightest tbh… No real ‘let up’ sections 🙂

    Had a great race with Jules and shaggy – just pipped them to the post.
    The chaps in 1 St and 2nd were crazy fast!

    Brilliant weekend, cheers to Taz, Keef and helpers and marshalls and sponsors.

    And to DrP and the Worthing lot for taking me in for the weekend.

    Can’t think of a better event to turn up on your own to. Quality friends every time.

    Can’t wait for Yorkshire. I bloody love Yorkshire.

    had a great weekend for my first SSUK despite not being able to ride and met some great people.

    Cheers to Donk and ‘Dave’s Mate’ 😉 for letting me tag along with them.

    Will hopefully have a functioning collarbone for SSUK2015!
