Sounds like a cracking weekend, Charlie - what's the deal with toilets & washing facilities?

Date change, bugger that's me out 👿
dyfi or ssuk... ?????? 🙁
Bring on the beer and bikes 🙂

dyfi or ssuk... ??????
I know you can't please everyone all of the time but why the date change? 🙁
toilets, cold water. all you need or indeed deserve.
non riding folk...probably the same, and they can have ashirt too... but will ponder this.
date change... its a question of getting a field when its free. the second BH is busier and loacl business were less willing to enterain us
Ah man! Just told the missus about this, and she said "What about your sons birthday?". Doh! Looks like I'll be missing this. Shame!
Get in! Building my first SS & also not out on a boat working. Count me in!! Charlie, sort out the weather and a bit of surf and we're laughing!
Best get a new tent
Tom83 - MemberAh man! Just told the missus about this, and she said "What about your sons birthday?". Doh! Looks like I'll be missing this. Shame!
I'm bringing my lad, might get him to ride - also bringin wife & daughter but not sure if the routes suitable for 'midwife' bikes!
They're gonna love it anyway!
My tent is fixed after some drunken lout fell into it at SSUK, oh yes that was me..............
So is the skatepark in Swanage any good? I might have to bring along my skateboard mad 14 year old son if I want a domestic pass for the bank holiday weekend.
non riding folk...probably the same, and they can have a shirt too... but will ponder this.
Charlie have you pondered ❓
Maybe he is busy designing the SSUKG stickers. 😉
There will be stickers right ?
Told the wife last night her reply:
wife: Won't the tandem arrive by then?
Me: Yeah but its got gears
Wife: can't you use one of those springy things and some washers?
Me: 😯
Not sure how to handle this....
With 'one of those springy things and some washers' obviously. You should be captain and her stoker so you can beat her round.
Glad my wife isn't on STW; I've had to build her a ss for this event as it is but if she saw the post above....
Oooh date change means I might be able to make it. 🙂
Time to convince my g/f that we need to go and see my parents (who live in Dorset) and as we're there ride some bikes!
nice mental images of an SS MTB tandem:
UP!
DOWN!
UP!
UP!!
UP!!!!!!
...very little in the way of markings, [b]no medics[/b]....
😥
Racist.
DrP
Maybe Charlie has Iatrophobia
😉
Where is the fine chap anyway, are we able to sign up yet ?
Flippin Most Excellent'idge 😆
I've just bought (off charlie) a few cogs, some with more teeth, some with less..
OneHappyBouy..
Any news on registration/payments, Charlie?
Really looking forward to this, and don't want to miss out.
Nagnagnaggynagnag nag.
don't want to miss out

It's a singlespeed event, just turn up at the field sometime around the specified date with a single-geared bike and your choice of beverage 8)
(although Charlie may eventually need a few numbers and a bit of cash up front to ease the cause).
Has a snow bike, there is snow, riding?
ITS OPEN..... http://www.charliethebikemonger.com/ssukg-18-w.asp
Cool. I'm in. £30 sent.
I'm in
Did you know it's the start of Swanage walking festival that weekend as well 😀
in
In.
Walking festival... Oh well
Oh you said waLking festival, so sorry I misheard you....
In that case I'll stop practising......
Walking festival-good excuse for hill climbing tactic!
Totally IN!!
Just sent money over Charlie.
See ya'll soon like.
In and I've even persauded my mate to enter.............Fat Bike or Karate Monkey, now that is the question...........
Yep, £30 transferred. I don't think I've cycled Purbeck for the best part of a decade so it'll be a little trip down memory lane as well as a social 🙂
@ johnnyratbike I like your thinking.
Maybe a chance to show we can all play nicely together on the trails.

Charlie gave me a few tips on the route planned yesterday..
" is off training"
Is training allowed ??
😆
bikebouy should disqualified for taking it seriously, training, being able to ride a bike. 😀
oh yeah, i'm in.
DrP be in......
DrP
in
Payment sent, so hopefully made the cut......Looking forward to this one..
Training going well Guys, so far I've managed to down 2 pints of proper real ale and eat a pork pie..
Tomorrow I'm going for a full Ginsters Pastie and a bottle of Vodka.
^ Propper hardcore - respect 😯
I'm sorry but a Ginster's party is quite frankly an insult to all bakers of proper pasties. I'm not sure you're ready for this...........
😀
Well bikebouy, did you manage the pastie, perhaps a bit ambitous at this stage of training, be careful not to peak too early
You need to move onto pickled eggs and Guinness next 😉
Was looking for any updates and noticed this in the "rules"....
Yeah, you have to bring something with you, drag it round the trial, and then throw it into the massive effin’ great prize stash at the end. All the somethings will be dished back out to the single speeders is some sort of award ceremony. “Something” can be booze, combustibles, shirts, stickers, home baked food, home grown vegetables, pies, [u]horse meat[/u], livestock, old bike components, or Joe Breeze frames from the 1993 in 22” please.
Does the great bikemonger not know how hard it is to obtain Horse meat these days 😉
no, Findus do a range, simples................
I may bring that half eaten Ginsters along..
If you are lucky.
I thought you would of finished that Ginsters by now 😆
Hi Charlie - I'm in ( paid on the 2nd Feb), whats the crack ?
gonadnomad
Or tryfan
Any updates Charlie ?
Charlie, I mailed you a few weeks back to say I've since found out it clashes with a pretty important family do so can I have either my money back or can you give it to charidee? Not heard anything back either way.
Davey boy... Didn't get the email. But that is cool. Charity it is. I can't refund on this. As the costs don't go down, and last year the organiser lost money due to a bad weather forecast, and refunding countless people. You are still in the cycling club, which is what the money is for, rather than the event.
What's the crack... It's all going ahead... Fire, music, food, sunshine.... And bikes.
Did you pay by paypal gift.... 😉
DrP
like all good singlespeeders I've just noticed that charlie's doing some ssuk thing. can anyone help me continue to be a lazy bastard and tell me how on earth to sign up.
All the info is here...[url= http://www.charliethebikemonger.com/ssukg-18-w.asp ]SSUK[/url]

Sadly it is also the Tour of Wessex weekend. Road bike torture and singlespeeding should be mutually exclusive, but weirdly not in my case this year. My new Fortitude will have to wait another year...
Good luck for a great weekend anyway...
Cheers
Que?
In other news - I'm looking forward to the birth of my three year old son...
DrP
Wish him a Happy 5th Birthday from me DrP
