    I think they have decided you can ride for 3 hours rather than 2 😉

    Louis, sounds like it’s the same as always, but a bit different.

    Based on the above, it would seem to be:

    That horrible field, then the push up the steep little hill at the end.
    Then down to the right on the superb new trails, left down that excellent steep drop which loads of people slide down on their bum.
    Then back up through the white gate, the really good downhill bit at the top on the left, round the flat bits where the crossers cheat and miss out the rocky sections 🙂 , through the raging rapids, then climb back up to the start via the comedy slidy, pushy bit near the carpark.

    Just a guess based on Harry’s description above, mind.

    Bit like a greatest hits compilation of the last few with a few new bits.

    Sounds great.

    You in?

    I’m in Agent Spanner & this time I am coming to get you & they will not put DNF against my name! Looking forward to some rehearsals. Good incentive to get fit.

    I was hoping that they would use both sides of the new trails. I’ll text you tomorrow.

    It is a figure of 8 so it can’t work.

    It would make it too easy.

    There is road in the middle of it and the the rest of the park is still open.

    Whats happening with the kids race beforehand Harry?

    I’ve got 2 enthusiastic entrants chomping at the bit. Seriously – they’re talking about training programmes, and everything. Which has raised suspicions in my mind as to whether they’re actually mine after all. I might pop on Jeremy Kyle for the old DNA test, just to be sure

    The file treads worked really well last year up to the point it started snowing-got a bit tricky after that.
    Looking forward to it 🙂

    it’ll be happening during the main event, most probably. So you’ll need to bring another person to look after them while you’re still in the race.

    preferably with a gpx file)

    absolutely, positively no can do. I know it’s ‘only’ Philips Park but a lot of it is footpath that we’ve got kind permission to use on the day. Handing out gpx files would be irresponsible and powerful forces will become angry with us.

    @RustySpanner and @hebdenbiker – I would have prefered to have gone down ‘The Chin’ on my arse, rather than my.. chin 😀

    You got a section of the course (one of the all-time-great sections of the course in fact) named after you before we sold out and got all corporate.

    fwiw (which is very little) I thought last years race with the snow was the best winter* race of them all, the harder sections nicely offset the slop 🙂

    *see what I’m hinting at there… summer race… 🙂

    When’s the first preview ride?

    Some of the course (the new MTB trails) aren’t open yet, so until then…

    The preview rides are a marketing tool really but we don’t appear to need them nowadays 😉
    (might do one for a laugh though)

    After the weekends 3 Peaks weather I think HTN needs to step up if it wants to keep its Epic weather reputation. I shall expect no less than artic weather conditions now.

    It is better to live 2 hours as a tiger than a lifetime as a worm.

    But you don’t see many worm skin rugs.

    60%ish entries gone. Chop-chop if you want to join the fun.

    There will be a booze up in The Church Inn in the evening and probably a curry frenzy before it.

    At the race we have excellent catering. Much better than just a pie.
