hmm, i remain to be convinced about the CX bikes.

so I shall enter and see what its like

Try it. You might like it.

well my SSC post was meant to be somethign refering to the usual octoporn and how someone cross the whole world for hit the north and decided to fit his CS with a rock.

I have no idea what you are on about there, but thanks anyway.

Should be fun 🙂

Is the CYB ORD filling up?

More info

Plenty of room still for those missing it. Had a word with the Recreation Manager. One of his mates, an avid biker had taken up running 6 months ago as he seriously hurt his hand at work. Normally enters in a relay team (they come first relay team, 2nd overall), but as his hand is better, and he is coming in the top 5 at the local fell races, is now entering solo 😀

oh **** yeah, i shall be gracing the event with my imense prescence… 8)

Wow. Celebrities! 8)

Wow. Celebrities!

x2 🙂

I might come to this one. What's HTN2 going to be like then?

Are you counting yourself as a celebrity there Mike? 😉

The caravan doesn't have a start on the door and an on-suite fluffer.

Does that make me a paparazzo for taking your photies?

It'll be like the last one but with double the riders.

2 hours racing on a 3 1/2 mile track (20 mins for the fast, 30 mins for the rest)

Including:

Fast bits
Slow bits
Muddy bits
Some nasty climbs
Some technical descents
Mud or ice
Raised deck sections
Steps
Bagpipes (hopefully)
Hot food and drinks available
Abusive commentary on the PA

All for around £10 – £12 (we need to run the costs through as we've had to change some things)

Money raised will cover the upfront costs of the big race, and any money left at the end of that will be given away to charity. Over the last 2 years we gave away £6k.

And what about the summer one?

A work in progress.

12 hours again? July?

Are you counting yourself as a celebrity there Mike?

Only a D-list though 🙂

I feel the need to enter both.
Looking forward to the celebrities.

The celebrity is Ton.

Sorry.

the summer one will be 'ground breaking'.

A race the like of which has never been seen. Not on this planet anyway.

You, terrahawk, are going to get me divorced.

😳 aww shucks 😳

Put the bottle down and step away from the keyboard…..

so this is BBBII already?

BBB was a pale southern imitation of the Northern Greatness that was HTN. Bet your BBB didn;t have Pie and Peas from the catering van with Thwaites' Lancaster Bomber on tap, did it?

Pie, pea's and lancaster bomber, stuff the racing i'm going to pig out! 😆

I'm in

the summer one will be 'ground breaking'.

I'm in for both.

Will peeps who were in the first HtN ( summer race) get first dibs to enter the one next year?

See you there Mike. They'll be room in our tent for socialising in the rain!

We'll send a mail shot to everybody who entered the first one before places go on sale for the next summer one. We're limiting the field to 300 (there were 450 at the first) to allow more space in the campsite.

We will be changing the format of the big one quite a bit… and we've booked a fire eater and a rock band.

It's Rammstein!

Cheers. I'll be bringing a bigger tent next year, but not that much bigger. Knowing how close the nearest supermarket is means that I won't need to bring quite as much food on the train/bike, so should have more room for the tent.

Ok – I rode in the first one, but had bought my place last minute second hand (my number says John on it, I'm a Chris) – so i was there but won't be on the email list. Can I please be in that first mail shot? Pretty please?

Pook,

Send your contact details to info@hitthenorth.net and we'll stick you on the list.

Looking at changing the location of the lap counting/finish to just on top of the rise rather than just after the first corner. This will only make sense to those who did the sprinter last year.
