that shonky gathering in doset for one speed folk….ITS OPEN

Just had the email… 😀

Edit: If your not old enough to know what that picture is about ask your parents 😉

me too……………ye har.

Atlantic park… I got the name wrong… It’s miles from the Atlantic. It’s Swanage Coastal Park http://www.shorefield.co.uk/swanage/

All the other campsites are nearby, everything is within a few km of each other.

£25 quid gets you stuff… Actually the wiggle sportive cost more and was only an afternoon.. All you got was a bloody timing chip and some power bars.

Here you get a t shirt, maybe some other swag, I am hoping to roast a whole pig too, pay a band, a pile of firewood, insurance… I dunno, let’s see how it goes. I might have roped the local real cycling club into marshalling. The red lion are looking after us too with a marquee, BBQ and lots of beer.

More news as I make it as I go along.

I know its a long way (ish) off yet but if anyone wants to share a lift I’ll be driving from Halifax, down the M6 > M40 > A34… promise not to kill you in a layby 😉

Charlie, are you taking suggestions for additional attractions ?

The subject of weight has come up on the Facebook page.
How about a bike weigh in at signing on ?
I’m sure it won’t get taken too seriously by some, but it could be cool to see who’s on the lightest or heaviest bike.

does the owner of the lightest bike get force fed a few litres of real ale before the start line as a handicap?

Or have to give the fattest rider a backie for all 50 miles of it? 😀

Cheese gets weighed in the shop when you buy it.

and seeing as I won prizes from that charlie chap for getting some of my tamer piercing out at the 2010 uk’s, lets have a proper freak fest. 😆

^^ ewe, lets not ^^ 😆

a few litres of real ale before the start line

I thought everyone had to do that anyway 😉

You peddling a Prince Albert then Tazzy ? 😯

Just had “Charlie’s Orienbeering” pop up from the memory banks. Seems likely that was one of yours, Charlie?

What about a startline breathalizer with progressive time penalties for those with low blood alcohol levels?

do I win a prize if I can hang those from my metal work ? 😆

Charlie- if we wanted to be a bit posh what location for accommodation with a roof would you suggest so that we are near the hot Ss action- is the Saturday party at the square and compass or swan age
