4th Feb 2012.
10:00 – 12:00
£17
Philips Park, Whitefield, Manchester.
2 hours, 3 ½ mile laps, berms, rocks, water, steps, that hideous grass climb and some new bits.
Also including: brass band, catering, trade stands, showers at the rugby club (you’ll have to pay a little bit extra for them on the day) and some other stuff that we are still working on.
It will be another epic!
Limited places… and this one always sells out.
Credit cards at the ready boys and girls.

Woo and indeed hoo!!
I've got the hideous muddy grass climb to look forward too 😉
sooo looking forward to this. In the diary & reminder set for entering this evening 🙂
A quick question, i've never done an MTB event but £17 and Manchester appeals. The site shows CX bikes, so is it a CX event or will my bog standard MTB be OK?
Any bike you want, lad.
Super, I said i'd do an event next year and this seems to fit the bill. I'm assuming mud tyres and singlespeed are de rigeuer?
Any tyres you want, lad.
😉
I'm seeing a theme emerging here...
any theme you wa.....
Will it be as muddy as he last event?. 🙂

Hmm. Might have to organise a BBB delegation to come and observe, a la Amnesty International/UN, see what can be learned from our Northern Bredren...
Will there be an 'insult your own child' event? Hora car wrapping race? Will the Starbelly be there, so's we can come and gaze at it in awe and wonderment?
Will any Horas be abused/made to suffer as a result of this event?
Hora's been threatening to enter HTN since the beginning of time. He never turns up though.
We're not big on rules. Apart from having 2 wheels and 1 rider anything goes. I want to see a Grifter.
There will also be the usual Saturday night lash up in the pub afterwards where we can entertain any cock-er-ney guests. They've got rooms and secure storage if you need to stay over.
The Hill. 😈

He'd borrowed that bike off a mate for the race and lost it big style going down "Preparation H". So named because if you get it wrong you will drive your seat right up your ass.
Note the missing seat. 😯

bullheart......bring [s]the artfull dodger[/s] fred with you.
he owes me a pint.......... 😀
We'll sort out preview rides to test the new bits too.
And, if we can sort it out with the lap scorers, there will be a team/club/squad/bunch of mates contest where the highest 3 finishers from the same team/club/squad/bunch of mates win something ace or rubbish depending on what we can get from our sponsors.
Don't worry Ton, I'm not like a certain other Yorkshireman what is well known on here for not getting a round in...
Yay! I can come up in the vayn with Bully! Keep him company on the long drive up! 😀
getting serious now. One of the Hornby boys has entered.
