Good call (nothing against brass bands, of course). We’ll sing as we ride round!

I *think* I’m looking forward to it.

We’ve still got a samba band and a bagpiper.

Since Guy Martin is riding my wife is coming to watch. She might even find it in herself to pass me a bottle up or maybe clap inbetween celeb spotting 😕

Guy Martin overtook me in last year’s HTN in my last lap when there was hardly anyone left racing!

Good call, just get a ghetto blaster on the start line instead.

Any news on the heli cam Harry?

If you’re racing I apologise in advance for being a mobile obstacle.

He didn’t get back to me. #splitter

Since Guy Martin is riding my wife

😯

The specialist training is going well HtS but showering is proving awkward….
Looking forward to this. How long is the ‘new’ course?
And are the new trails open now? Keep meaning to get over and have a blast round them before the day.

Does anyone know of anyone with an entry for sale due to injury etc?

Hi Andrew, drop me a line. Dan

Cant decide whether to go for the outright win or turn up in fancy dress and have fun, y’know, give the others a chance and all that….

Me? Drop you a line about what?

Can you email me with a clue?

I published the list, got in the car to drive to Twinklydave’s then halfway there remembered that yet again, I didn’t put Tony on the list.
It’s my crap system that relies partly on my ability to remember masses of detail that’s to blame. I’ve now entered your details into the master computer.

Sorted now (well in a few minutes).

Hi Daniel, you got a number or email I can contact you on?

andrew15 drop me a line. email address in profile. Dan

Just emailed you mate.

look forwards to it, note to self must try to beat Guy Martin!

just put my bonty mud tyres on in preparation!

The entry list will be updated after The ‘Puffer as a couple of names seem to have vanished into the ether. Once that is done it will be locked, sent to the time keeper and printed for sign in.

Missing names will be added, but if you have signed up as Philip but want it changing to Phil or said your team was Haydock CC an want it changing to The Sheep Botherers then I’m afraid it is tough. Sorry.

See you on the 16th.

Don’t forget to book a pass out for the post race session in The Church Inn, Prestwich, where we can all get muntered and tell everybody how brave / skilful / awesome / bruised / cold we all are.

Revised.
