    The negative is that the organisers are a set of sadistic bastards. 😀

    You’ll have to work hard for your beer.

    Where the hell are you going to find a perpetually sodden muddy fields with a taste for footwear and a ruddy steep hill at the end of it?

    Well he said it was a locked venue – and it must be near Prestwich (but my guess is it isn’t in Prestwich ) but I won’t confirm my suspicions until HtS gives the all clear in case there are still i’s to dot and t’s to cross etc…

    Down hopefully. Then back up through Clas Ohlsen. Plenty of distractions for the lurkers on the final lap. They can pretend to be looking at the zip ties.

    Terrahawk will be crossing the i’s and dropping the e’s. There is tons of other stuff to get lined up as well.

    It’s in Winter innit ? Innit ?

    kind of, but it’s always been glorious sunshine and lovely dry, dusty trails on that particular day somehow…

    I did buy him a pint afterwards – slightly shifty looking, bit odd, didn’t believe a word he said.

    I don’t remember anyone buying me a pint. That I would remember.

    I’d help out with marshalling too.

    Suspicious number of people volunteering for marshalling instead of racing here, do they know something about the course that we don’t? 😐

    Not in Philips.

    yeah I spotted that, philips/drinkwater/outwood has been “HtN country” to me since 2008, will be interesting to ride HtN at a new venue, “locked” sounds intriguing.

    I remember riding across that field through mud and being overtaken by someone gently pushing their bike [ not running nor trying hard] …at this point I dismounted all crest fallen with my will sapped

    Aw, lookatdalittle hill.
    Innit cute?
    I miss that hill.

    Hora, promise I’ll buy you a pint next time.
    Honest!

    Locked venue, eh?
    I hope it’s in staggering distance of a boozer and a curry house.
