I had hoped to steal a few places by wearing hiking boots but it looks like everyone else has the same idea!
I'm debating the flats and hiking boots option myself. The more I think about it, the more sense it makes
Harry,I've got a bit of time to kill before the curry so providing I've not got hypothermia I'll happily lend a hand tiding up the course.
Cheers fella.
I'm happy to stick around and lend a hand too Harry. If I'm still alive, obviously 😉
Hiking boots?!
Sod that, I'm wearing me disco slippers.
I haven't even got any flat pedals. I did however purchase a CX tyre for the princely sum of £8.50 this morning. Remember kids; second place is first loser!
300th place is 299th loser. I'm aiming high!

Think i may be competing with you binners! Is the nr 1 loser a better accolade than the 299th loser...?!
@kkf - I'm planning on riding over myself, so could maybe meet somewhere around Horwich in the morning? When are you planning on heading off?
Is there a STW enclosure?
Here's pictures of the STW enclosure at previous events

Are you listening Ton????
I'm out due to being broken 🙁 If anyone wants my entry - see ad in for sale.
Just back from the course. It is running fast. Most of the singletrack is like concrete, there is a bit of "give" on the approach to The Endura Free Fall (formerly The Chin) and The Field Of Despair [b][u]will[/b][/u] cut up.
Decided to go for the 45° angle line up this.

Bastid....
I really hope that everyone taking part in this appreciates the work put in to make this event happen. Chapeau to Harry the Spider and Terrahawk.
Yes, agree with Mr Sparkle - many thanks to the organisers...!
Quick question - this is my first event of this or any other type - will i need to carry drinks bottles with me or will there be some sort of drinks points en route?

You will need at carry water unless it's changed this year.
A big thanks to Dave and Andrew for almost everything they have done aready and for tomorrow, but not for the Buff climb I hate you both for that
Take a bottle unless you have a pit bitch to hand you one.
Terrahawk did all the graft today. I just minced about for a couple of hours putting banners up.

Aways said I'm crap with names, sorry.
I'll get it wrong tomorrow as well

Mine too but I think she will be cheering me on from the Trafford center. 😉
So can I borrow a pit bitch from binners. 😀
Is it over yet?
Can I borrow a multi-tool off someone? Lost mine 🙁
sambob, if you promise to return it i'll lend you my topeak hexus... i'll be directing traffic to the correct car parks right from first thing in the morning, then marshalling somewhere (possibly on my bike!)
Mine's coming as well. Think she's opting for the sensible sling backs this time.

Blimey. Ronnie Corbett could run through there without brushing his ears.
I'll check in the morning. Might have to get off sharpish to get home before the snow, but if the forecast changes I'll ask when we arrive. Offer is much appreciated though.

yeah, but if you were Ronnie you would wnat to 'brush' whatever you could touch. 😉
I'm quite looking fwd to seeing all these bikini clad loverlies.
I'll need help with a bit of blow job.

do you have a generator for the rubber man?
we've got one. Not sure how much juice your rubber man needs tho...
Anyone on a cross bike will be ****ed if it still frozen.
are there any of these?
1.7 mud tyres on the bike and it looks freakishly weird! Like a cross bike that's been seriously at the pies!
2.25 ADvantage for me, too frozen for the cx bike.
last minute which way off Junction 17 off the M60 please!
