[Closed] Hit The North Role Call

Role?

I'll be there marshalling. No beef jerky though sorry.

i'm there for the bacon roles

here miss

I'd better check my car will start actually. I don't think it's moved for a fortnight.

Roll[b] call even - I'd just got up.

I wrote "bare responsibility" at work the other day, when someone said it's "bear", I thought that was just a big hairy thing. D'oh.

i'll be there

umming and erring about what bike to ride and what tyres to run 🙂

(and probably eating cake)

umming and erring about what bike to ride and what tyres to run [:)]

really?
you have any doubt its going to be a mud bath?

oh i know it'll be a mud bath...but which bike will be better in it?

cx bike with super skinny tyres = great in some slop but not on any nadgery bits

hardtail = slidey in mud but more controllable on anything techy

these are the issues of someone with more bikes than sense

Do I need to bring some replacement stickers Dave? 🙂

I will be sporting a SS hardtail with a much too 'spinney' ratio to be competitive accessorized with a pair of nice and skinny spikey tyres.

i was going to use gaffer tape and tippex, but that sounds far more professional 😉

ah. rumbled. me too 🙂

Here.

HT with 1.35 26" CX tyres. (Won't make the slightest bit of difference - I'll be carrying/pushing/wheezing most pf the time.)

We're in the middle of some hardcore staple gun and barrier tape action - there are a couple of muddy sections but its mainly firm or maybe claggy. a bit.

Maybe the predicted -6 temperatures tonight will firm things up a bit more...

It's nowhere near as sloppy as HTN1 though.

so then, oh course master

which will win, CX or MTB 🙂

I'll be there and I'm going for the cx bike twinklydave. I think half of it will be muddy and half will be fast!

I've got one bike and one set of tyres, so it's a simple choice for me..

We've finished marking it out. Feel free to come down and have a spin* this afternoon if you want.

Here Sir!

Just for the fun of it I'm going to make no modification to my ride. This sjhould make the 2 hours extremely interesting 🙂

Iamin. Floundering around near the back I should think. Think Dave Haygarth might do quite well...

2 of us here coming as well. I'm thinking of a rigid hardtail with discs and skinny tyres to try and combine the best of both worlds.

Grandma and myself will be there, bringing up the rear no doubt.
