What's it about ???
what's what about ?
It ?
Keef, can you check to see what email I've registered with please?
What's the curry option?
Bullheart,will do,curry will be chicken or veg .
Bullheart.broomhillbank....
Work email; ta for that!
Sounds rubbish,will give it a miss 8)
don't blame you mate,looks like a right bunch of cowboys organising it...
And the sponsors look shite as well...I mean who wants a load of niche frames, bikes, single speed tat and craft beer as prizes when you can have a bag of lycra crap and some energy snot that gives you the runs.....
...and whilst we're on sponsors/prizes - A day's guided riding in the FoD. I mean, why would anyone want to ride there? Pointless prizes 🙄
I've always wondered what happens with Ringo's [i]other[/i] dog...
Is it ok to ride a geared bike if I only use one gear at a time?
qwerty- yep, but to make things fair we'll amputate one leg and an opposite arm and throw em on the firepit for munchies later in the evening.
mmmmm, curried arm
Dohh
I've been waiting in the old[url= http://singletrackmag.com/forum/topic/ssuk14-1 ] SSUK [/url]thread 🙄
Makes note to keep an eye on this one instead 😉
Muke.if you've registered,then you're on the mailing list 😉
Cheers bossman 😀
Hello guys, I wonder if I can ask a couple of questions...I really fancy this as a used to ride a single speed and loved it, however I have never ridden in a trail centre and I don't manage to get out off road too much (at the moment) is this a balls out race or would it acceptable to do your best but probably end up bimbeling along?? I will be entering alone but assume that at event everyone gets along and does not take it too seriously, am I right?
You are right cyclebiker. A few tryhards ride for the win, the rest of us mere mortals stop for beer and stumble to the finish. The title of UK SS Champion is a serious one but part of winning is sharing the course with everyone else that make the event what it is 8)
cyclebiker,it's exactly as Psling said,sounds perfect for you,you may not know many people when you arrive,but you will by the time you leave !Every one rides at their own pace,FUN and BEER,and SHENANIGANS,are a very big part of the event !
get yourself registered asap,emails with details on entry,going out VERY soon 😉
Keef.
Oooh, I do like a good shenanigan!
I will be entering alone
that's what you think.... 🙂
...slighly worried / disturbed now Del. However pre-registration completed. Thanks for the votes of confidence.
I built up the winning SS bike last night, so I'd better be entered 😯
I hacksawed halfway through the down and top tubes on my SS frame last week in preparation for the "cut your frame in half" competition...you are doing one of those aren't you? 😕
RD,I'm sure Taz can accommodate you....
Donk,was thinking of a 'saw your wheels in half comp' this year 😉 ....
Just double checking - if you want to camp in the "official" Spring Slade Lodge campsite, it's £45 per person (over 14) even if only one person is racing - but we could take our caravan to another campsite down the road (e.g. the FC site at Tackeroo) and pay a reduced "race entry" fee thathasn;t yet been announced - is that right?
What about the "half a bar" prize?
Nbt..if you are on the pre reg list then all will be explained via email at the break of april the 1st. 😀
I've prereg'd now, let's see what tomorrow brings
bumpity-bump - anybody had an email yet?
Paid 8)
Done!
Im In 🙂 ..... well ive paid does that count ? 😀
taH-dah! 😀
Paid 😀
Paid 🙂
Paid...
Though it didn't ask for name/age/schlong size or anything...?
DrP
Old enough
Erm...
Paid x2.
🙂
Should I have received 4 emails?
I only pre-reg'd once.
I had more mails in my inbox than I care to mention.
Idiots.
Just what I expected from a shonky SSUK event.
Paid. 😆
[quote=igm pointlessly vacillated]Should I have received 4 emails?

me too. And one of them had the entire recipient list, I can now send marketing guff about "variable field ratio speed adjusters" to loads of people who need gears mwaa haa haaa!
SSUK2014
OK peeps,some slackness with Gmail,major red tape with Paypal,but it's getting there ! if you haven't had an email reminder,and want to enter,our resident Web-lord Col has set up payments direct from the website !
just hop on over and get entered 😉
[url= http://bit.ly/1hcK6ao ]SSUK2014[/url]
if you've paid and had a receipt,then you're in !
appologies to all who have had cock ups,but we are a bunch of shonky amateurs,and no one is getting paid,so on the weekend,be nice,say hi,and buy us a beer !
many apple-ogies for the multiple emails, Col our IT blokey had a few Gmail arguments....as in he was ****ting it with a big stick to get all the emails to go in one lump.
Lots of people seem to want to come to this shonky bollox up?!
if it was too smooth and well organised, we'd be accused of not being singlespeedy enough! 😀
Paid.
Had a look at the other entrants too. I think I spotted at least one national champion.
I'm busy that weekend. Any chance you could move it to the following weekend?
In x4...!
We may be missing a super fast ss boy (second in world champs) but there are some frighteningly fast folk comming to play..on what will be a super quick and technical course...it will be bloomin awesome to see a propper uk champs at the front...and the usual beery mayhem at the back 😀
Where is the entrants list?
Is it proper etiquette to stop on the course & try to block these fit people going for the win? Afterall winning just isn't playing the game is it?
I'm afraid my sponsorship deals and contractual obligations currently prevent me from racing in the superfast category, and I am limited to the beery mayhem category.
My apologies to all those that have highlighted this race as their one and only opportunity to beat me in an equal race.
Yay, paid.
Typical that entry opens right at the end of term when I'm running out of money.
Hi again peeps,pretty much all going as well as it will be now at SSUK2014 HQ...
one or two cock ups...
any one who has paid,and wants to cancel or change your ticket,sorry,but can't do. (yes,there really are a couple already) swap or sell among your friends,no problem,just let us know on the day.
As stated on the site,we can't alter,amend,or refund.
That's the grumpy bit out of the way,the good news is it is filling up fast,already approaching half full,so if you're coming,'get entered' 😉
there's a few additions,to the 'entertainment' couple of local bands will be playing for you,and Ringo's dogs (who have unfortunately been very ill lately) are on the mend,and will be there !
cheers for all your patience.
Keef.
Keef,
one of the local bands doesn't include a big scouser does it?
aa,not to my knowledge....
fair enough, I know a rider/musician from Brocton. Put 2+2 together and made 5..... 💡
Not interested in appologies, it's what we expect from shonkydom, chiilllaaxxx we don't care enough. 😆
If you lot were trytoohards we'd not bother entering. It's this sort of out of scope attitude that makes us all "Doooods" and seperates us from "StormtrooperKnarr"
We all appreciate it's a hard job, thats why you've got it this year. As for payment in Beer, well just how big is/are your gullet(s)
Shonky Rocks.
😀
aa.
You talking about Graham then?
I don't think hes allowed out to play anymore is he. 😉
Just checking, VW sized campers are allowed?
Pictonroad, yep the bottom field of the campsite has space for VW sized campers and will be the allocated hippy parking spot. No power hook ups though. (upto 20-30 camper van style thingies will fit from memory)
Our Grae still riding I think, I only see him in school playgrounds these days. 😯
Yay ...all paid up and can't wait ....I love Cornwall ....
Aye, tis the same grae. Might use his place for a luxury shower!
Paid, now i need to practice being friendly and staying on a bike.
Paid... and I hadn't even registered, I somehow missed that bit!
And if it's looking like it might get a bit desperate on the camping front, I only live a couple of miles from the Chase and have a small field which could take a couple of tents for the weekend...

can a bloke bring his canine?
Camping will cover the 250 entrants plus tribes of small people, dogs etc.... oh and campers....and the party marquee...and the bands. ...and the bar.....and the roller racing. ..and some stalls for sponsors to sell shiny things
unless we've totally focked it up...which knowing mn n keef is more than likely !!
