Yep, it's ages away.
You might not Singlespeed - give it a try you might like it....
You might not race - only the keenies race, the rest of us are just riding for the fun (and the beer stop).
Build it into a loop of the King Alfred's Way, stop off on your trip down the Southdown's Way.
Really close to me, and I would love to attend, but bloody hell they've picked a bad weekend. There are two different events (for other hobbies) that weekend and it's always a struggle trying to do both

The obvious answer is not to struggle and do neither.... go to SSUK instead

That would be a good excuse to go down to that part of the world. I've never made it to SSUK since I did the one up here in '19....
Time to start ruminating on travel options!

'19 ... where was that?
We (Godiva Trailriders) ran it in 2016, and '22 & '23 in Llandegla.
Don't think I've been to one since 2016.
Been to more SSEC than SSUK.

Comrie croft in Perthshire - it's just up the road from me so an obvious one to do!
