I'm not against it, it just amused me for some reason. It's not like it's a proper competition...

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.....

[img] [/img]

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!

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 🙄

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.

Well that gives the Kiwis an unfair advantage. Most of us would rather not enter a sheep.

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. 🙂

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

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!

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.
