Hi All,

This has worked for Hit The North so I thought I would risk it.

I know loads of you have bought tickets and some others are still planning to. We need your cash now to pay for toilets, marquees etc.

Can anyone who is planning on coming buy their tickets ASAP. Anyone who has bought their ticket, can they get their friends to buy some too.

Cheers

Nick

Gahh! The website won't work for me here at work. We will be buying 2, I can guarantee you that! 🙂

EDIT
Website will be fine, it's our shoddy IT system that's letting me down 🙁

Website is fine, I can't come sadly, may I suggest a link, for the lazy lurkers…

Link! 😀

The Big Bike Bash link

Its still here…..

8 of us came up from Plymouth last year and had a fabulous time, this year we are coming up as a group of 16…and the extra night we are staying means taking full advantage of the beer tent clearout this time…

buy those tickets now!!!

i guess i should pay up sooner rather than later then 🙂

will confirm my friends are going then get it done.

Chalet booked and tickets paid for.

Are STW towers going to contribute anything given all the profits are going to a very worthy charity?

Oink oink! Flap flap. Oink. Flap. Oink. Flap flap. Oink….flap…….

STW towers are giving us forum space (at the moment) which is very nice of them.

Never really understood why the Ed team objected.

Ah well, you see as I was the 1st buyer last year, I was hanging on to see if I could be the last this year! But this call has made me pay up, so just dun it.
See ya there folks!

Cheers DezB

Keep those ticket sales coming. Thanks

ticket sales

Purchases, shirley?

I think I may have been the first this year.

I got some nice pedals (having much use on my boy's bike) for being first last year 🙂

I have rebuilt my front wheel now. I will therefore be unbeatable*

*other results may occur on the day.

Checked the bookinga and robdob was indeed first to buy even though he missed the first BBB.

robdob – claim your prize from me on the day.

Cheers

Sweet!!!!

The sort of keen attitude I have demonstrated in the purchase of the ticket is unlikely to translate into top results at the event, unless there is a "running to the pie stand as soon as it opens" competition.

robdob – There is the Soreen Malt Loaf eating championship…

you need to post some pics of the shitest part of your course. That's how you get a long-running thread….

Ahh. That's my job then. 😉

You are sh*tting me. Really?

Petesgaff – See my pic! 🙂

I like the night race picture. The rider is being chased by a black ghost!

[Cough]Look at me…[/cough]

As reigning 'malt loaf eating champ BBB 2009' I challenge you all to an illegal, late night 'malt-off' after the official competition….!

1200 calories in 4 minues cha-mey!

As reigning 'malt loaf eating champ BBB 2009'

Was there not a certain, err 'toilet problem' shall we say, shared by the competitors the day(s) after the event….?

Yeah – I seem to remember, but not 100% clear whether it flushed out the system, or required dyno-rod to clear the "blockage"… 😉

PP missed
Kids' race!

DrP – you're on! How many whole malt loaves did you eat in 4 minutes? Are we allowed spread on it?

At a guess I think I could eat 2 whole Soreens in 4 minutes. I'll have to put some practice in.

The gradients on the kids course look as severe as those at Hit The North (last chance to enter that excellent event btw).

This year we have the same kids course plus a more advanced one for the older kids.

Do we have to use our own kids or can we hire one?

The Malt Loaf will be spread thick with chunky peanut butter. Make sure you practice that Rob.

[edit] you can have my kid. If he doesn't win there's gonna be tears!!

PP missed bike limbo 😀

Plus I am in the night shot 😀 and what do you mean looking a bit camp… I thought you knew me well by now 😉

Peanut butter? Yeeeeeeeuuuccchhhhh!!!!!!

I may be out then. Can't stand the stuff. Could substitute it for a double thick layer of Country Life if that's within the rules??

It's just plain malt loaf IIRC. And it's bloody hard work eating a whole one! I know becasue I saw the PAIN in their eyes.

And later, the PAIN in their bottoms!

Be careful when trading children – remember a slightly heavier kid with better bike control can out way the advantage of a little light one.

Check with the Tunnel Hill Trolls as I am sure they were baby trading during the trailer bike challenge.

I don't want you kid, he's too old, I want someone else kid lightweight and all… Actually where is julian 😀
