[Closed] H.T.N. !

Guess who's back...

back again...
back again...
back again...

cryptic

Put my name down as a marshall pretty please. 🙂

Hunt the nadger?

Argh. I only bloody well booked a flight on the date in question yesterday. Would have gone for a different flight if I'd known, too late now. FFS. 😥

When is it then?

Feb 25th

Is there a link? Old site isn't showing anything current

Site's not sorted yet. I put the date out there during a rush of blood to the head earlier.
Anyway, there's a bit that needs sorting yet - I need to design a horrible course, I need to make sure I'm allowed to send a couple of hundred people down it and I need to find someone to make bacon butties.

All being well the website will be updated and there will be an entry thing ready within the next week. There will be a big trumptey fanfare thing on the front page of STW when we're good to go.

Be quick though, entry limit might be set at 10 or 11 people at this rate. I'm a bit rusty, y see.

Day before the Dyfi Enduro at Coed-y-Brenin. I'm going to be knackered on Monday!

Are you providing Snow and BMW's again?

Cheers, will keep an eye out. Besides someone hinting at it a few months back I've missed any other mention of it, and google didn't shed any light.

It's always been a complete 'maybe' before today.

Are you providing Snow and BMW's again?

yes. and Vito vans.

Is that this Feb then? No chance of getting fut for then!

No chance of getting fut for then!

since when has anyone bother trying to get fit for it? 😉

numpty question- what tyres?

Philips park or somewhere else?

Numptier question - what is it?

Edit - Hit The North? Or Hypertension? Both dont look much fun to me 😛

FB page "liked", look forward to more info.

🙂

CX or MTB? haha

I haven't got a thing to wear!

And WHEN am I supposed to get my hair done?

😀

As luck would have it....I've been dedicatedly not training,not eating healthily and not riding bikes for some time.I will be in peak not good shape for this......(waddles off to eat donuts and watch Netflix).
If Ton is'nt marshalling.....it's all off.

So excited ! Let me know if you need a hand with anything, do you want me to have a look at the htn PA ?

Badger?

Will there be a mixed teams catagory. As NBT just reminded me, we have a long held title to defend.

Oh and ... [b]WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO[/b] 😀

So so so excited when I saw those 3 letters on the main forum summary....

Binners; You HAVE to come last!

It's tradition! 😀

Noooooo!

Flying back from a week's biking in Spain on the Saturday.

Any chance of a Sunday race too 😉

I saw the tweet this morning...

I'm in 😆

Aye. not bad.

Can I be snowed in at the curry house please!

My knowledge of HTN is derived mostly from the names of Strava segments I've come across... But I ride around Drinkwater way all the time so am in!

I'm 42 years old, (yeah, alright no taking the piss, I actually am 42) and last night I had to admit to Mrs Tthew I couldn't get to sleep because I was excited about a bike race. 🙄 😀

put me down for marshalling

i think i may race this time round.......... 😛

I've suddenly found a reason to start training again. Missed all the others so this'll be my first. Will there be a SS category?

Looking forward to this HTN the Resurrection! 😀

Will there be a SS category?

HTN the Resurrection!

No SS category. Counting laps is hard enough without having to check to see how real someone's keeping it

Can it please have stupid steep up bits, and bits that bikerist dont get because they have to get off their bike and run/carry it.

Oh and any chance it could be held on the proper side of the pennines 😀

Just broken it to SWMBO about racing both days that weekend, what with Cannock Winter XC on the Sunday it won't be that hard on drive train & brakes 😯

If anyone wants to SS on the day I'll be bring my hammer along and smash your rear mech for you.

You're welcome 😀

If you need marshals mate, I'm willing to forsake my title defence. Someone else can finish last this time

as long as they follow your precise method for finishing last (hiding in the bushes just before the finish line until the bell laps are well underway!)

NEW DATE.
The local powers that be don't do things quickly.
It's a long story but set your alarms for the 25th MARCH 2017.

At least there's less chance of freezing to death.

I'll contact those who have entered already to offer refunds if they can't make the new date.

Thanks for the update

Bugger! I've only gone and booked a ski holiday last week for that weekend.

Ah, can't do the new date!! But I'm good the Sat before and after if that's any use to you? 😉

Fwiw I've always found htn great fun and would encourage anyone to get in!

GET IN!!! I CAN DO IT NOW 🙂

Had a wedding on the original date, thank you from me to the local powers 🙂

Yay! and Boo!

yay! there's still a chance it will happen

boo! I'll be away so I can't even come and marshal 🙁

Away riding that weekend sadly.

Am free same weekend in April though, if the council continues to drag its feet.

if this one goes well it won't be the last.

Entries open on 15th?

I want to enter! Where do we do it?

I know you want to enter. I can't open the entry though until the various departments at the local authority have said 'yes'. It's just a matter of time until they do, but accepting more entries before that happens would be madness.

Right. I think we're all sorted (well, as near as dammit).

ENTRY OPENS TOMORROW

🙂

Jase, if i enter but then chicken out and decide to marshal or something instead, can entry be transferred to others?

@xherbivorex, no, YOU MUST RACE

Wouldn't be the same without you fella.

I decided to marshall once, because I was a bit fed up and hadn't ridden for weeks.
Five minutes after the start I was considering dragging someone off their bike, stealing their identity and joining in.
🙂

yeah, daft idea. i'll be entering.

it's like the Foreign Legion. Once you've signed up you're not getting out.

Do we have to speak French too?

ENTRY OPENS AT 10AM FOLKS

yeah, daft idea. i'll be entering.

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

I'm in. 😯 See you there

In as per usual. Sadly no longer eligible for the token foreigner who travelled over prize.

GregMay - Member

Do we have to speak French too?

jawohl, naturlich.

now i need to find some riding legs and try to get less fat over the next 6 weeks...

In 🙂

Which bike, what tyres etc... 😉

SS CX or MTB... hmmm.

Oh God! I've entered Hit the North by mistake. Thats last place sewn up then. Again!

[img] [/img]

Well, I [i]can[/i] do the new date, so I'm in. Hooray! 😀

Hope it doesn't sell out before I get home tonight

we're a quarter full. But that was probably the dinnertime rush.

Which bike?

This one of course.

[img] [/img]

Any sort of bike as long as it has two wheels and one rider.

ooops 😉

I spoke to Mark E Smith, and he gave us the nod.

You might not be the only tandem there....
