you seemed cheery enough when i saw you terrahawk - and anyway, having seen the HtN pics where I'm grinning like a loon, I'm reconsidering the sultry look for my next race....

can anyone recommend any other races around the north in the near future?
as wardon mentioned there's the Nutcracker XC series in the NE/Yorkshire - http://www.nutcrackermtb.co.uk
Thanks all the organisers/marshalls for a great race. I really enjoyed it despite slowing to a crawl in the last half hour. The mud was tough but good fun on the downhill bits.

There's also a 1-2-1 race at Hamsterley at the end of September: http://hamsterley-trailblazers.co.uk/one2oneRS.htm
Cross-Country race on Saturday 25th September 2010 and a Downhill on Sunday the 26th - you have to use the same bike for both races.

I've seen a few hill names popping up on these threads... what were they all?
From the start?Posted 1 year ago # -
Rather boringly we refer to them by numbers. In brackets are some of the names that we have used or heard other people using.
#1 was the hill in the field (Hamburger Hill/Heartbreak Ridge/Hill of Despair)
#2-3 was the descent down to the bottom track
#4 was the steps
#5 was the steep hill where Brant and Ed Oxley were fooling about (Rooley’s Chin/False Teeth)
#6 was the long gravel climb
#7 was the steep descent with the step in it (Preparation H)
#10 was the climb back into the car park (The hill that the Forestry Commission have effed up)
#11 was the carry out of the car park

I'd even marshal to fill up the karma bank.....that, and I'm having knee surgery in july so have a bit of downtime!!!Posted 1 year ago # -
Sounds like a good format to me Harry! Dates??

Yes - agree with Peachos - it should be Camping/beer tent/bands/DJ/Dates
Dried fruit always a bonus.

Seperate classes OR split timing on some of the sections so that my downhill prowess can be shown to my mrs!

We'll just settle for timing that works!
If you want Pook I'll make a you an official HtN certificate of awesomeness to show the wife.
July 17th.
Same venue as the first HtN bit with 150 less people so that the campsite atmosphere will be better.
The key to it is having people stay over for the party/entertainment. It'll be crap if 75% go home after the race.

I'd love that!
And if you get the details up once more I'll enter again! And be as rubbish.

I will have a word with the Sparkle clan re filming and marshalling if that'd be any use.

one of the main factors that will determine whether or not we have a race this year, next year or any year will be the availability of something to race on
