Go!
In short Hit the North was a lot of fun the course was excellent (much improved over the original HTN course in my opinion). I was really glad I chose to ride the singlespeed (and scwhable mud shark 1.5 tyres), the 32:18 ratio proving to suit the climbs and the flat bits weren’t as long as I was expecting. Conditions were great, crisp and icy to start, progressing to mud in the later laps but not the claggy stuff.
I also had a bacon butty and brew in my muddy mitts within 2 mins of crossing the finish line - great way to spend a Saturday morning!
According to the results I finished 27th so quite happy with that considering my recent lack of mileage.
