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?
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.

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 - MemberDo we have to speak French too?
jawohl, naturlich.

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!

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.

Any sort of bike as long as it has two wheels and one rider.
ooops 😉
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....
What time does the race start?
I'm really wanting to enter, but need to be back in York late afternoon!

10am, done by 12, York ~ 2pm.
Oh bollocks I'll enter too
My 1st n only race.
Can I use an ebike or does anyone have a livestrong wrist band and a telephone number of an Italian doctor...
10am, done by 12, York ~ 2pm
Sounds good to me!
I'm in!!!
Do I still need to think myself accurs'd if I'm in Belgium? 😥....

Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks

Just 'hold your manhood' between 10 and about half 12.
I'll have to take the piss out of someone else in the car park though.
😐
Why Belgium?
Picking up some Wiggo biscuits?
Do I still need to think myself accurs'd if I'm in Belgium?
No
Saint Crispin's day.
Is the 25th October
Yeah, [i] factually[/i].
But it doesn't scan if you change it to 'The day before Mothers Day'.
What is the Flemish for 'pot Belge' btw?
I've entered but my receipt said it wasn't a guaranteed acceptance of entry into the event.
Binners- you can't have been far behind me in the last one- I came 194th!
