HTR filling up fast - anyone racing?

[Bearbonesnorm]

According to Alan there were already 25 entrants as of last night, that leaves 15 places ... anyone signed up or about to?

[Zippy]

Not this year, but I can see this being on the agenda - I blame all the people I was talking to at the BearBones200 and overhearing I think it was Steve Heading and Phill Richmond talking about it on the first road section of the BB200

[Ian]

I'm in

[slarge]

I'm in as well. Need a new bike now.....

[Mike]

Ive been thinking about it but not sure if work will permit may have to ride it on my own

[FLV]

In

[Backcountrybiking]

Just a quickie

Folks who are saying 'I'm in' how do you know your in? Has it been confirmed?

Thanks
Andy

[Ian]

For me, yes.

I'd imagine Alan is getting a lot more applications this year after last years success and interest. He may be going with some kind of selection criteria, such as people who completed it last year, or have completed similar events (thinking CTR, Grenzsteintrophy).
Early days yet, hes probably out riding

I'm tempted to tour it next summer over 2 weeks at a leisurelyish pace. Leave the 'race' for the racers

[ianfitz]

I've put my name in the hat.

[ScotRoutes]

I'm thinking about doing it.....


... in reverse.

I reckon that's the only way I stand a chance of meeting any of the other participants once we leave the start line

[24tom]

I'm in. Can't wait.

Pardon my ignorance, (and it has taken me a day to pluck up the courage to ask) what is HTR?? :?

Cheers. I would enter, but I'm washing my hair that day...

[ScotRoutes]

Anyone know if Aidan is going to be "defending his title" this year? :)

As far as I know, he isn't. He'll be paddling a canoe down the Yukon River I think.

[Mike]

Im with Chew would rather just ride it at my own leisure, less painful. Plus its open to do anytime u want and u can send ur times in as long as u can back it up.

[Richpips]

I put my name down.

Whilst I like the idea of doing it at a leisurely pace, realistically i've not got the time for pottering round.

I'll not be on the podium, but will hopefully get round in 6-7 days.

He was clearly going to be up to something epic.

[slowupslowdown-under]

with travel and the extra mileage its a 7-8 day event realistically so sadly it'll remain on the 'To Do' list as too much time away :(
