Cheers,

Mike.

good man mike, look forward to having a ride at dalby, but will you be having penny farthings eh?

I'm going... Taking my camper up from Cambridge (will the field accomadate it?). I will be doing more than just the one lap that we did at Hamsterly in 2006 Tom tilover...

You can pretty much ride whatever bike you like as long as it's got one gear!

Field will be ok for camper vans but no electric hook up.

I'm so pissed that I have missed the last two years worth of SSUK's.
Cannot wait for this years, and I may even be in decent shape to have a good ride.

We'll have a great course and hopefully we have nice weather this summer, should be a great weekend.

Looks good Mike. i'd be up for this. might just take a tent or pitch my own... giggidy giggidy

Time for me to bump this thread to see if anyone from London fancies this? I think it'll be a laugh and am planning to head up with wife and dog to enjoy the countryside, do some drinking and a bit of riding! Registration opens this Friday so want to get people thinkign about it - Provenrad, Tommy, Object?

Are you guy's still "offroading" on a weekend? North Downs, Swinley etc? will try and make it down for a ride sometime, likewise if you fancy jumping on a train and riding up here for the day Moors, Peaks, Dales, let us know.

Just read my opening thread again and I've pretty much repeated myself apart from registration details! But the site does now have more info on it and it will be a great event so it's worth the extra plug!

Object?
Bastard, mentioning me by name. That's a dirty tactic.

I need to check the diary but I'm certainly interested.

Still getting out now and then to Dorking and Swinley, although my riding has been slowed down a bit by the arrival of a puppy. Would love a day out oop north some time so might take you up on that!

But sometimes the dirty tactics work best! You know you want to - they're brewing a special ale for the weekend!

In like Flynn.

Thanks for the heads-up momentum.

Equipment: Had that recurring problem with the ENO hub slipping against the titanium dropouts - any ideas mate?
I could use the Kona... or should I go for tensioner and spacer kit?

Very true.
Just trying to work out if I can swing the time off work.

I'm on it thanks to Momentum. Need to set an alarm.

Is there a race to register...?
I might be in with a chance!

EDIT - link is www.SSUK09.com (incorrect one posted above.)

You work at weekends? I used to do the same when I worked in a shop and it was this kind of thing that annoyed me. Guess a weekend long sickie looks pretty suspicious...

You could try some serrated washers (the really hnarly ones) between the hub and the dropout. Otherwise go tensioner I reckon because (a) i was hoping to borrow the Kona for Annu and (b) there's no way it fits you well enough to go mountain biking!

Registration opens in 10 mins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nope, but I would have to be back on Sunday evening and it would be a shame to have to hightale it back.
I'm trying to take the week after off so I can get more Yorkshire miles in.

I keep clicking refresh, (really want to finish top-ten for this!)

Sent my payment! I'm looking forward to this!

I can't get it?! still got the holding page for registrations..?

Annu can use and abuse the Kona of course.. it's currently being damaged as a polo / pub bike and I suspect it deserves to see some mud.

Ah - got it!
