Bottle-passing?

Oh, carry on.

Thanks for the clarification Terrahawk. I assume you’re one of the organisers?

He’s just one of a cast of thousands. I’d be wary of taking his word for it TBH.

If you’re nice to the smiley lady marshall with the long blonde hair, she might let you have some hot Vimto.

She might not, but it’s worth a pop.

Will Lance Armstrong be doing it again this year?

Who is this Terry Hawks bloke?

Who is this Terry Hawks bloke?

24 hour skateboarder?

Wasn;t he the one who did Morris Minor and the Majors, N-n-n-nineteen not out?

ah no, Morris Minor and the Majors did the Stutter rap

EDIT: nod to Scaled. Fist bump, bro, nice play.

Now I don’t have to carry two bottles I have room for shaving foam and a bic.

Leads me to my next question. Will they’re be a leg shaving zone? I’d rather no carry my bic and the foam for safety reasons, obviously.

The Olympic xc event had a leg shaving zone, so HtN bloody well should have *shakes fist*

I’m the sole organiser.

The first rule of Hit the North is:
You do not talk about Hit the North.
The second rule of Hit the North is:
You do not talk about Hit the North.
Third rule of Hit the North: Someone yells stop, goes limp, taps out, the fight fun is over just starting.
Fourth rule: only two several hundred guys and girls to a fight are allowed to enjoy themselves.
Fifth Rule: You can eat and drink whatever you want, whenever you want, wherever you want and you will feel sick.

I’ve booked a Dominos for the half way…

Gotta keep fueled.

Oh I have some talisker on board as my 1st aid kit

I’m pretty sure that if I take it steady this should see me through…

Are we doing the field of doom this time?

Might affect my footwear choice… either mtb boots or tennis rackets.

I’m the sole organiser.

Footwear lowers need a lot of arranging.

(genuinely – I’m not riding but chapeau to anyone putting this sort of event on – it’s a lot of work and hassle to give other people a fun time riding bikes)

Are we doing the field of doom this time?

Assuming the course hasn’t changed since the MNPR preview, no. But there is a different field, and it’s going to be pretty damn doomy after the last couple of weeks, so I’d say bring your wellies. And maybe a pack raft.

I guess tyres a bit grippier than these would be a good idea then?

Depends how much you like sliding sideways I suppose. 😀

mintimperial on his outlap:

Could’ve done with that contraption at the Gisburn PMBA on Sunday.
