It's always around the weekend of the longest day.

bigtime - I wouldn't worry about the specific date as I doubt it'll sell out for 2013 due to the shambolic lies (supposed weatherproofing of the course) and organisation (3 working bike washes etc). Just get your entry in last minute if you feel like it.

Anyway, always thought it was sorted for the weekend closest to the longest day of the year?

EDIT: just seen Dracs response - looks like i was on the right lines

FTFY

Anyway, i'm not worried about the weather as its a weekend long drunken disco (in a sumo suit) for me. Just wondered if the date was fixed yet?

28th Feb entries open we know.

I'm guessing Fri 21 - Sun 23rd June which coincides with that warm dry spell and a full moon.

Tad worried that there's no news yet from Provelo though. All okay with the Adams family? 😐

All is fine with Pat. I was speaking to him earlier this week about his events. There will be a news story about Mayhem coming soon.

Is it a new all weather course, with the worst bits removed, and all running really well?

They could just re-use last years press-release, it's not like it ever bears any resemblance to the actual event!

It's 10 minutes up the road from me. I'll not be doing it this year. I've already accepted a position as 'team heckler' for those slightly odd people who seem to enter every year.

I'm so looking forward to Mayhem, last year was brilliant fun sliding about in the mud!

It's always good for a laugh - hoping to get together a team of ten ladies for cake eating/wine drinking/coffee slurping, oh and of course an occasional lap 😀

I'm sure STW tweeted something about it last week. They said it should be quite resiliant to the weather and SSers will struggle to clean a lap.

How can Mark have been and ridden it.

Surely the course doesnt exsist until the day before when they get the lawn mower out to cut the grass so it resembles a 'course' as opposed to a field.

Wouldnt be the same if your jockey wheels were not jammed up with freshly cut long grass....

Well the video of the new course looks grassy, muddy and land rover tracks...

Sound familiar?
