You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
Australia, Mongolia or Zimbabwe part of Europe?
It's a bit like Israel being in Eurovision...
the zimbabwean has a british passport too or something. I think he bought it for 136389000000 Zim dollars
I'm not against it, it just amused me for some reason. It's not like it's a proper competition...
im representing - Burma , India and Aurstria
Does it really matter? I think it's far more in the spirit of the event to allow them than not.
I'm a Frog FWIW...
I haven't as yet received an invitation so here's a photo of some fine, local South Devon cheeses in a desperate and pathetic attempt to influence my chances.....
PS. I have connections with the local cheese industry and have a well 'ard cool-box which would allow the cheeses to survive the journey up to the FOD in perfect condition. I also have a well niche rigid SS with a hub brake at the front and an electronic panda bell that would look good out on yer course. Ayatollah & Co, please consider the above mitigating circumstances and mail me out an invite. Cheers 😉
We did think about calling it the Northern Hemisphere SS world cup 2010 but that wouldn't of helped either would it 😉
Slugwash, your name is 4th on the reserve list so there's a good chance you'll get an invite as we're looking at extending the numbers due to the amount of entries, we don't want to let anyone down really but still have to make the event managable!
The event is being held in the Forest of Dean for goodness sake - [i]that's[/i] not even part of Europe!!
Peter, you're alive!! Hows the tropical weather down there?
PJT201 Maybe this is not your kind of thing ?
Have you entered i guess not,
Whats the big deal there are plenty of 'immigrants' here and all over europe and europeans now living in Mongolia etc who do want to come but are very proud of where they hail from and would like evereyone to know about it ...........................
Maybe the MBR weekend would be more your kind of thing or even the London SKY ride
But i dont know if these events allow you to bring cheese 🙄
i have entered, as i said above i was more just bemused with the fact that they put those countries on the rider list! My original post was not intended to show a racial hatred for anyone outside europe!
Indeed that was never an issue 🙂
Sit back relax its all under control a non european may well take the top spot !!!!!!!
Sit back relax its all under control a [i]non european[/i] may well take the top spot !!!!!!!
a lot of brits dont see themselves as european either
surely, you're missing the point now KOS - it's not about the winning....
it's not about the winning
Good job too! Anyone heard mentioning the word 'race' on that sed weekend may get shot.
Yeah but don't be walking on the racing line, Sheldon. that'd be well wrong 😉
waiting for some funds to hit my Paypal ( today hopefully! ), and my event entry will be sent off..........
🙂 @ Clubber, I won't be riding though
surely, you're missing the point now KOS - it's not about the winning....
do you realize who your talking to pjt201......
he really is the king of sweden 😀
In that case, you're definitely not allowed on the racing line!
sheldon will be on the racing line with the beer shower for anyone not stopping for booze
^ He's right, we have a fire truck lined up ready to soak anyone that refuses the fuel of winners 😉
loosers? what sort of event is this? 😯
?? 🙂
Git 😉
Pete, shall we declare independence? Draw the borer across the A40 and use the rivers. The bribes needed in Africa to cross borders will be nothing on ours and everyone will have to prove working knowledge of a sheep before entry.
Sheep? Before entry?? Now, there's an idea!!
mattsccm - Member
...everyone will have to prove working knowledge of a sheep before entry.
Well that gives the Kiwis an unfair advantage. Most of us would rather not enter a sheep.
I think your independence starts on April 20th 2010 once the 5 fingered lot have left 😉
everyone will have to prove working knowledge of a sheep before entry.
i think i'll stick to the bishops finger 😉
oooo sailor
I'm glad I'm not riding at this event it sounds a bit shite. 🙄
I never mentioned the word 'winning' maybe you confused it with your 'whining' 😆
I have never 'Won' anything in my life except a nice cake shelf, where as the other knights have there Woks now thats niche . . . . . .
Unusual to have all the Knights in the same place at the same time !
have never 'Won' anything in my life except a nice cake shelf,
come on now, own up mr competative
Not me you know that i am a loser...............
(Puts left hand up to forehead to make loser sign then realises its backwards )
But you are The [b]REAL[/b] King Of Sweden.
Despite you trying to hide it.
What about that nice set of bars you won at the sswc in Avimore? You even had to run for them? Oh and the White ind hub at ssuk 09? Not to mention the Swedish SS champs in '08?
Oh and not all of the knights are here ssp is probably spying on us though 🙂
how come my name aint up yet on the entry list? i paid last week!!!
bloody shambles. 😯
bloody shambles.
its a singlespeed event its supposed to be a shambles
PAID!
Big up ssp many apolgies for silly behaivour may i be thrashed with a juniper branch
If I get time tomorrow I'll sort the shambles out, appologies for having to work for a living, training swallows to fly between Europe and Africa isn't easy you know.
KOS and you can join the Judian peoples front too!
EDIT: Flatfish, didn't you send a cheque?? Thats got to clear before we add you 😉
My thoughts exactly
I am the Judian peoples front dont you know
See ya off to ride ride ride 🙂
Me too, although may just go straight to the public house and drink ale.
Ayatollahofniche - MemberMe too, although may just go straight to the public house and drink [s]ale.[/s]some girly alcopop.
Yup went straight to the pub and drank a Coke!
EDIT: Flatfish, didn't you send a cheque?? Thats got to clear before we add you
technicalities 🙄
I'll check tomorrow and update!
Cheese helps you see at night total light failure on the country lanes last night on the twingle
Just a £3.99 flashing light to get home on
Interesting should have gone to the pub
You've invited my girlfriend but not me, you cheeky gets! 🙂 Think there was some confusion about my nationality - I'm the bloke with the Dutch-sounding name.
'Agreeable' is Dutch-sounding?!? 🙄
Mr. Agreeable, you registered seperatly and how are we supposed to know that you two are togeather? you are on our list and if we get more spaces you will be receiving an invite. We are totally over subscibed to this but as I said we're working hard trying to create more spaces so everyone gets in.
We started with 250 spaces and have had over 350 entrants! And the Itailians haven't entered yet!
EDIT and there's no confusion over where you're from as you did confirm that you are from Bristol!
We registered separately, but at the same time. Although if you are trying to make it into less of a sausage-fest, I don't blame you. 🙂
You can come along and be our pit b!tchs mr_a 🙂 We'll be taking it very seriously and need someone to hand over bottles, provide a bike handover and musettes.
Or just spray us with beer 😉
MrA if your good lady is who I think she is then you registered 5 mins apart 🙂
You can come along and be out pit b!tchs mr_a
Hmmm, a tempting offer indeed. 🙂
Ah, c'mon. No serious team is complete without a dwarf!
No serious team
Careful Clubber you're at risk of being shot as we don't want to encourage the wrong types at this event ;-0
Or an ogre?
MrA to make matters worse I think its your good lady that has just paid so she's a defo! Bring the vending of some cheesy comestibles.
We're a VERY serious team as you know. We're already planning turbo trainers for warming up, isotonic drinks, energy food/gels, massage, climate controlled sleeping quarters and so on just to ensure our eventual victory. Races don't win themselves you know
😉
Points at clubber and falls on the floor laughing ^ he sed the 'R' word, hehehehehehehe
R as in Racing line as in Get ORRRF my Racing Line? 😉
😉
climate controlled sleeping quarters
someone else that's going to be bothering the sheep then 😯
Well, when in the FoD... 😉
I keep pestering the Italians - but is a bit like herding cats, especially as their fearless leader isn't coming.....
From what I can translate, Bob (who is supposed to be coming to SSEC) has done something nasty to his tendon and gets an operation on monday - plenty of time to mend before April!
http://loslobos06.blogspot.com/
Tell me about it Mick! they told me back in September that there was loads of them and they were packed and ready with Inga to drive here. But only 2 have entered! Typical, they'll try and enter at the end of March 🙂
Hope Bob makes a good recovery
Which 2 have entered? I guess one is Roberto Spotti (Bob), but who is the other?
If I get permission I'm going to their SSCX champs on 6th January - will do a recruitment drive.
Mario is the other!
fingers crossed for you!
Hey don, is the Italian guy with the DEAN coming?
Not yet! But he said he was 😉
i can represent Spain (as can EckInSpain if he enters) as our other (better) halves are Spanish ladies if that helps 😀
Aren't you already entered Fontmoss?
yeah but im happy to switch countries if need be
Judian peoples front to the peoples front of judiar then eh? Splitter 😀
im just easily swayed 🙁
thats why im such a dedicated nichewhore 🙂
Thats the spirit 😀
