Nezbo

whoooooot!!!
pub apres?

i also sorted my bike last night, mud tyres on, new pads in, all set and ready to role. looking forward to :D:D

You’re gonna love it. I promise!
We’re getting rather excited now too.

about the pub after?
is the race going to be that horrible? 😉

Who’s going to win?

I’ll have a fiver on Twinklydave.

Apres mudbath drinkies in The Church Inn, Prestwich on Saturday night.

The wife is on a hen-do so i’m getting muntered!

Who’s going to win?

I’ll have a fiver on Twinklydave.

bet you a fiver i don’t! 🙂

Positive waves Dave, positive waves.

Actually i’m more interested in what sort of bike is quickest. CX or MTB?

That poses another question. what type of bike are you rideing CX, MTB, Unicycle, etc… ?

No unicycles. Bearded show offs who can juggle will be shot on sight.

I heard that is what they was going to do with CX and SS riders 😕

Who was?

It is the word on the street. I am not at liberty to divulge my source. 😉

How many places are there in the race?

Are there any places left? I’m feeling masochistic

Binners- you can have my slot if you want…

Had a bit of dram this end..

Drop me a line Bru.

120 ish. We’re expecting a few no shows.

Me and Terrahawk “bagging” a unicyclist last season. We only winged this one so we had to finish him off with the dog.

Cheers fella but there are a few of us out on Saturday. I was going to do that or for a jaunt around Rivi. I might well call in to laugh at you all later in the pub though

Are you still thinking of moving to sunny Prestwich?

I am planning on gracing the event with my presence. I think that in answer to Nezbo’s original question, I will be taking part rather than competing.

Anyone got a spare place? Might consider doing it if its cold enough!

There is a 10 strength reserve list waiting eagerly to take the places of those who decide they have better things to do on a cold Saturday Morning. 😈

I suspect i’ll be last! 🙁

But I don’t care!

Are you singlespeeding again?

nope.. i’ve got an slx rear mech.. should withstand brushes with bushes!!

hopefully, I can complete at least 1 lap then! 😀

Is their a chance of the muddy sections being frozen or what, can someone do a reccy Friday pm????????????? 🙄

The tarmac bits aren’t frozen, so you can get your car to the car park.
There are people out tomorrow doing the rounds of the course, so I’m sure there will an update on the website.

Really looking forward to this. I only have 1 bike and it’s full suss so I guess I’ll be riding that. Hope it’s frozen rather than muddy…

I hope your isn’t too heavy because you’ll be carrying it up these steps.

We will have the course marked by tomorrow afternoon so you can come and give it a go if you like.
