“After a few jittery weeks we’ve reached the breakeven point so the event will definitely go ahead. Thanks to all those who have entered in the last few days to push us over the cut off. We still have plenty of places left so all those who were dithering now have no excuse.”

I have been a writer for nigh on 20 years, a photographer for 25 years and a mountain biker for 30 years. I have written countless magazine and website features and route guides for the UK mountain bike press, most notably for the esteemed and highly regarded Singletrackworld.
Although I am a Lancastrian, I freely admit that West Yorkshire is my favourite place to ride. Rarely a week goes by without me riding and exploring the South Pennines.
Great to see the ‘2nd’ HTN is going ahead and looking forward to a preview ride. However, the timing of your next preview ride is not so great as the once dormant England team awaken from their slumber to take on ???????????? at 15:00 this Sunday ! (Hope its not Germany, extra time, then penalties, then……..).
We’ll as I only get about 2 hours a week that are mine I’ll be going out on my bike anyway. I’ll drop by the meeting point to see if anyone else is out then it’s off to fast, dry, dust and empty trails.
Wednesday 30th June, 6:00 pm, Waterdale entrance at the bottom of Clifton Road / Buckley Lane.
The nearest post code is M25 3HR. Follow Clifton Road about another ¾ of a mile all the way down to the bottom and meet at the gate on the right hand side next to the big wall and Recycling Facility (it was “The Tip” when I were a lad). Not the Waterdale gate 200m before this.
The HTN human-spambots cyber-scrawl thusly:
Preview ride this Sunday (27th) if you want to have a go of the course.

Any chance of an evening ride during the week ?
Oh cock.
