We will be e-mailing or posting details to all competitors, but as this invariably gets cocked up somewhere along the line the details are on our website too.

You have no excuses.
andy, did you get my email re not attending.
give my entry away if anyone needs it mate.
I didn't. I've just moved house and the smooth transfer of internet/e-mail 😕 has ****ed up.
Sorry you can't make it.
Sorry you can't make it.
me too, ****ing working.......... 😥
Who's doing it from here then?
I'm once again, getting scared.
😯
Be afraid.
When are you going to run another 12 hour jobby?
Still thinking about it. We're probably doing something on July 17th this year but it will be different from your usual bike race.
We've had an unexpected personnel change at HtN Towers which has left us a bit shell shocked.
When are you going to run another 12 hour jobby?
Hopefully this summer. Please note the use of the word 'hopefully'.
might not be quite 12 hours, but it will be ace if it goes ahead.
I'll come and spectate 😀
I'll come and spectate
you can have your own marshal point if you want.

Turn up at 9:00 on the 20th and we'll give you an high-viz vest so that you can spectate at the bit where all the crashes are.
Is it going to be proper muddy like mayhem te other year or just the usual winter filth?

sorry, I can't predict the weather 😉

If I wore a hi-viz mankini I would cause crashes 8)
if you wear a mankini you can jump out of the woods in front of people and shout 'boo' if you want.
Actually, that would be v. funny. Do it.
You do realise I would be the lamp to SimonFBarnes's moth if I did that...
aye, I'll be there. hopefully my bike will have just the one gear by then. looking forward to it - it's come round fast!!
to get there, do you come off the m60 at 17, then head north, left onto higher lane and then left onto Park lane and round the golf course?
Yes.
Competitor car parking is at the bottom of the park. Follow the arrows.
Andy/ Jase..
I too can't ride- I'm having an op done on my foot on the friday...
So another spare place..
I will Marshall if you need??
Come along and say hello anyway. We'll give you a cup of tea and put you at one of the more entertaining marshal points.
Ask for point 2, 5, 6 or 7 for pain or 1, 4 or 11 for suffering.
at least one of our lot is riding
and subject to baby duties you may get the odd marshal
shout if you need any kit
Good luck
Does this mean I have to wash the mud off my MTB from when I last rode it...at a cross race in October?
Is it too late to have a velodrome built over/around the course to keep me nice and warm?
are marshals allowed megaphones? 😉
If your marshalls are "odd" i'm not sure that we want them. 😯
Part of the track runs through Asylum Clough so there is a fair chance of getting eaten by mutant hill-billy cannibal inbred murders.

that house move has put years on you.
I'm not going to tell you what Hora was doing the last time i saw him in the woods
😯
I didn't know the course went through Bacup
Really enjoyed it last year .
Just not happened this year .
Must try harder .
Have a good un guys .
I cant race unfortunately, my ankle is no where near strong enough, can my mate have my entry?
Given my news, I'll not be racing at this one. I hope it's a good event though, enjoy 🙂
Make sure that your bike is in good working order.

Mine might need a little work in the next week or so...
I'm not working, injured or pregnant, so I [i]will[/i] be "racing".
Would that be the black tape of a sponsored rider covering the logos on that bike Mike?
Brant will probably want you to uncover the logos as the bike looks like a bit of a shed. 😉
Trev, send your mate along and we'll change his details at sign in.
Are you coming to watch?
Harry ygm re taking Tons entry, thanks.
E-mail not working yet because BT are a shower of arse.
We'll sort it at sign in.

They're covered up properly. You know, with duct tape. It actually looks quite neat in real life. Relative to the rest of the frame, anyway.
The only black tape is making the Inbred on the seat tube anonymous:

good grief you use scissors to cut gaffer tape - you are not a real man 😉
anyway
How much are the bribes this year?
Mike, your blindfolded Inbred has made me rock with silent laughter. A lesser man would have let out a little bit of wee.
Are you booked in at the pub yet? Trying to sort out the after race party now.
OK THANKS, SEE YOU THERE.
All being well the Darwen film crew will be in attendance to record the event for YouTube consumption and to offer encouragement/advice/abuse as appropriate.

Cool.
Will you be wanting a reserved parking spot for the fleet of Winnebagos, the director’s chair and a gazebo for your fluffer again?

Hell yes. You knows it.
Given my news, I'll not be racing at this one. I hope it's a good event though, enjoy
congratulations you two! I should look at this forum a bit more regularly, I'm behind with all the goss 😉
I got some more HTN practice this morning, by sliding 20-odd feet on my arse. Bloody black ice!
