bump

more people to beat me.

getting close now (ish!). SOooo looking forward to it. Proper cx bike with gears this year, hope to do better than last years 21st on the ss mtb.

Me and you competing for the lowest number of laps then Pook? Frankly you haven’t got a chance!

21st on a singlespeed MTB is bloody good going.

Real men come last binners/pook. Let the ladies come first 8)

What a class field this year, going to be a tough one!

It was that much of a quagmire though I think it might have helped 🙂

frustrating on the faster and flat bits though that I couldn’t pedal fast enough 🙂

** edit – and from what I hear, there is some serious talent there this year, so i might be going backwards!

anyone pushing or jostleing at the bottom of my marshall point will recieve a thick ear………….. 😀

it’s going to be a biggy…

So big that we will have to revise the start. 😯

Prepares for thick ear…

Looking like I might not be able to ride it….

If I can’t, I’ll come and watch/heckle/help out.

There may be some serious talent, but just being fast isn’t going to cut it, cos there will also be plenty of mobile chicanes. Me and Pook for Starters. And I’m wide enough to take some serious getting around 😀

we’re always short of marshals.
This year we’ve got a youth race that starts at 9am.

lol

We will name that section ‘Thick Ear’.

can’t wait. I’m out after for a curry. too

You staying over Pook? Our plan is to head back and dump the bikes and get cleaned up afterwards. Then its cab back for a curry. Let the Cobra flow 😀

my target is ‘to not come last’ – looks like Pook and Binners are fighting for that honour, so I just need to finish in front of them to achieve my target 😉

That’s a chuffing awesome line up!

One has to wonder though, how many of them have nooooooooo idea what they’ve let themselves in for! 😈

Looking forward to the catering already

I’m liking the ladies first rule… thanks guys it’s very generous of you! 😀

Looking forward to the catering already

oh yes….the catering…..

we’re always short of marshals.

…and we may need some help dragging the cannon back up the hill from the revised start position. 😀

I’ve just noticed another entrant

Hello, remember my heckling? I shall be there again Sir to heckle abuse at you as you pass 😆

terrahawk – YGM re marshalling 🙂

Not if I beat you to death with a suspension pump, then bury your body in the woods first, you won’t

The Viking Porridge should be illegal. I was running around like an Old Skool raver after having too much of that last time.

I think the viking porridge is illegal

Once I know what I can/can’t do on the exercise front, I’ll be in touch either way. Prob via twitter.

Post race party at The Church Inn, Prestwich on Saturday evening as usual.

Porridge made out of vikings? Does it have stray beard hair in it?

I expect that we will be renaming large sections of the course in honour of The Fallen.

For those who have never done this before, if you crash with sufficient vigour that you are propelled through the gates of Valhalla we will name the point at which you left for the next world after you.

Conking out in the mud on The Buff® Evil Climb (formerly MTFU Hill) doesn’t count. Everyone does that.

I like the Church Inn- they’ve got a nice weakish ale on pump.

Hora yes of course I remember your heckling!

So whats your excuse this year for not taking part? 8)

You won’t know anything about the Church Inn Hora. You’ll be in a shallow grave by that point

So whats your excuse this year for not taking part?

Hang on, I’m just googling best excuses on google.. 😛

My door out of the house is being blocked by a giant mutant snake rabbit.

Please don’t fall off near me – I really don’t want to administer the kiss of life.
