ah, i've said it once already but so what- it was an absolutely brilliant day, and andrew (HtS) and jason (terrahawk) should be very proud of this institution they've created!
would have been nice to try to put a few more faces to names though; a few of you would have seen me on car park directing duties from first thing in the morning and then marshalling up next to the footbridge over the motorway.
and which one of you asked me if i was binners please?!
would have been nice to try to put a few more faces to names though;Badges. We all need badges.

and then marshalling up next to the footbridge over the motorway.
haha was it you marshalling the bridge when the fella slipped past you on lap 1 and followed some random bikers over the bridge?
Bet he still finished ahead of me!
Herbivore That was me, I think you've trimmed ur beard since I met u at an STW ride a while back. I recognised the face but wasn't sure, only briefly seen binners before but remembered him mentioning doing htn on a big bouncy FSer jumped to wrong conclusion.
hallz, that fella was a member of this very forum too! i won't name him though in case he doesn't want it to be brought up, that's up to him! he came back after 5 minutes or so though.
D0NK- ah, yes mate! the beard comes and goes; mostly it's gone these days though. binners is much fruitier than i am (and was riding a lasses bike yesterday, as it happens!)
I will. It was Plumber.
Not many crashes this year due to the frozen ground but there was a few 
We got down the main part of that on the tandem only to topple over on a small root at the bottom 
surprised how many don't even try to ride it
Plenty of mincing there, even by my standards.
If Brian's at bottom of hill providing 'encouragement' It's best to walk
Can we have a video of those that nailed it please Brian, AKA me, every time! and some on cross bikes, Really enjoyed the short downs on the route, great fun buzzing back wheels only to watch them pull away again on the straights..
30 second vid of us

any pics or footage of the berm section?
Donk - Its easy to get Herbivore and myself confused. We both ooze a certain ruggedly handsome northern charm.
However he's a lot more GGGGGGGNNNNNNAAAAAAARRR than me, slightly hairier of face with less of a predilection for sausages. And he's right... I was indeed riding a lasses bike on Saturday. With comedy 1.7 skinny tyres
"surprised how many don't even try to ride it"
why does it always look easy from the bottom!
My claim to fame is that I was both the first and last victim of The Endura Free Fall on Saturday.
I fell down it when I put the Endura flag up and I went through the ice at the bottom in to 12" of water when I went to take it down again.
I hate that hill.
it looked easy from the top too ;o)
It'll be all change next year. The Trail Pixies and their diggers are on their way soon.
Berm me up Scotty.
?
If they build that, i'm entering next year for sure.
can you plough that horrible lumpy field up and build that please?

I'm not. I might hire a slo-mo video camera and make a fortune off You've Been Framed though.

But where would all the hairy cows live during the summer?

Apologies to any kids watching for swearing a 2 mins in 
My claim to fame is that I was both the first and last victim of The Endura Free Fall on Saturday.I did consider riding it on my way to the Church Inn but as I'd managed it all through the race I didn't wanna push my luck in a couple of inches of snow. I went straight on instead of turning left into the gulley, discretion/valour moment
Has anyone mentioned the little girl marshalling at the tunnel yet, she was brilliant, cheering/shouting/cajoling everyone along. Give it a couple of years and she'll be at the top of MTFU hill or the bottom of the free fall heckling the hell out of everyone not trying hard enough
Has anyone mentioned the little girl marshalling at the tunnel yet, she was brilliant
a big thank you especially to the young marshal pointing us thro the tunnel -she gave me tons of encouragement on every lap
Yeah, I mentioned her the other day - what a star, she made my day!
I think her and her mum (who was also there) were at the same point last year.
They managed shouts of encouragment for the whole 2 hours last year as well.
good on em.
+1 for the little Chinese girl and her mum. massive help on that climb!
I think her and her mum (who was also there) were at the same point last year.Yes they were, if Carlsberg made marshalls.... I made a comment to a bloke I was near that if I had that much enthusiasm, I'd be winning.
Oh and more bloggage not mine, but you may be interested.

Do you know what the plans are HtS?
Yes.
Check this out.
