Are places still available for this? I didn't think I was able to attend but plans have changed. I'm determined to get in the top 3 this year (yes, I treat SSUK as a race!) after 2 4th places but would be very sad if I can't go.

Cheese sorted,beer sorted, race training orrrr shite i knew i forgot something. If that beer stop is as far away as Niche boys stop us Yarkshire race wippets may not make it that far, but fear not we have a plan so cunning you could pin a tail on it and call it a fox.

My backside is a little less sore after geared races. And my tweed a little less stained.

Soiled tweed ... Now thats my favorite Stane 😯 1 of 7 i believe
May I politely suggest we post a count down everyday so as to avoid the geared freaks on here missing out on the fact that they are missing out on the best gathering since SSEC 2010 ? It would be rude of us not to keep people informed I fear......

SSEC isn't over yet as we're still waiting for some prizes to arrive from Singletrack towers so we can distribute them to the Robots ;-o

Stumpy - I'm wondering about a Yorkshire tug o'war team. I'll offer up my 16st and Richard from Fulford Cycles will be down as well - don't know if he's interested though. Some of your lads ain't exactly small (mad chilli eaters excepted of course) - so I'm thinking it might work, but I'm too lazy to organise it.

postierich, surely they didnt right your dub off for that little knock ?

Can i make a suggestion to the organizers that we sort out the finishing order before the event (ala F1) to save anyone getting to hot and sweaty on what should be a nice chilled weekend. it will also stop any altercations between the tryhards and the notsotryhards when out on the course.

what time are we allowed to roll up on Friday ?

It's going to be about 30-40km. Depends on how many laps we decide we want people to do.

Hang on a minute 40k divided by 7.5k per lap equals 5.3 laps. Therefore the cocktail bar must be .3 of a lap away from the RACE course for obvious H & S. Looks like we only have to do 2.25k to get to the drinking bit YAHOO.
