5 days left, will the trails dry out?

Is there a run from the start to get to the bikes?

If there is I won’t bother as running and my brocken ribs and knackered hip and shoulders won’t let me. I’ll just start last and aim not to get lapped.

What tyres for HtN?

What tyres for HtN?

700 x 32 is usually a winner, & usually under a skinny lycra clad bloke on a racer with old MTB brakes!

not sure about drying out; manchester had 40% of the regular february rainfall over the last 3 days apparently. so it’s quite quite wet at the mo…

perfect for HtN though.

Fast rolling, quick clearing, narrow but comfy, lightweight but puncture resistant, soft compound mud tyres. I reckon. 🙂

Rolling start with any bottle necks bypassed for the first few hundred yards.

Lap 2 is where the suffering realy kicks in.

I reckon I’ll be completely the opposite of the impossible tyre in the rubber stakes #Larry’s

unfortunately we’re not having an attention-seeker prize this time
