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.

Entries will go live soon(ish).

Oh yeah! I'm running it..... and panicking about the prospect.
Cheers, Moff.

See you there ..i was one of the ones who declined the swim for a surly but my mate took my place .....and lost

Cracking grass root event

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

One is required to get their priorities straight!!

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

Sage advice.

You bobbing over Sean?

It would be rude not to given I can ride there from home.

Pedalos tend to be single speeds dont they

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!

I can share a lift with you ( me driving) from just north of manchester. If you want a rest overnight i am.happy to recommend local bivvy spots
Will put you up for the night as well if you want .

That's very kind of you Laz, consider that a provisional booking.
My bruv lives at Northwich so I could probably also utilise his gaff.

Nice one Moff. I've already emailed you about the beer

Alex

No worries and duly noted

Not done one of these for a few years but it’s fairly local so it would be rude not to. Might have a small posse.

'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.

I might actually come to this ...

I've not raced one of these since Thetford forest in about 2002... Maybe it's time for a comeback!

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

There's a website.... www.singlespeeduk2025.co.uk
Entries open soonish, hopefully...

Excellent a local event, I'll stick it in the diary and try to attend. Just need to disconnect the rear mech I guess.

I think 2011 was my last ride in a SSUK, I also did SSEC and SSWC that year, maybe due a return.
