Weirdly this is going back to how the MNPR began many, many years ago.

Church Inn, Prestwich.
8:15 Blast Off.
Bring money for beer.
Terrahawk is our Leader.

Might well be up for that... how fast paced is it likely to be?

HTN preview ride. Not MNPR.

Pace: Not very.

Thanks to the mods for changing the thread title and correcting my knobbishness.

i'm hoping to be there, if the panic attacks and sheer dread from riding in a group go away at least...

this course bears no resemblance to any previous HTN course, so who knows.

There's a descent that I'm particulaly keen to throw people down before the event. If anyone gets seriously hurt I'll have a think about that one.

ooh sorry did I just say that out loud?

Sounds reasonable. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

Glad to see that tradition is being upheld

I was in my garage last night til 10pm trying to cobble together a working bike for this. I had to rebuild a wheel which had un-dished itself, then took an hour trying to get a tubeless tyre to seal, then discovered the pistons in the front brake have siezed (thanks Kielder!).

Anyone want a job as a bike mechanic?

That was the muddiest MNPR I've done good fun though. Even washed bike when I got home instead of letting it fester.
