Make it the hardest hills ever.

'cos I won't be there, going to be getting my head kicked in at Palace instead.

Great evening, thanks all!

18:42 @ HHV?

I vote classic hills because it will be good for me, but happy with either.

Seems like the end is nigh as Caspar concentrates on stopping the end becoming nigh:

I've had some wicked nights at their events, especially in the early years at their open races. Being their course designer for the Muddy Hell races was something I really enjoyed too. I'm sure they have got a lot of people into riding and racing including a fair few from here.

Pretty sensible idea if you ask me. Limus are great in deep mud but flipping slow otherwise, I'm a big fan of the Baby Limus.

My dad is 62 and we still pit for each other. Good day out!

I'm pretty sure that Yorkshire doesn't have a problem with lack of water but that is a nice idea.

@Howard Most league racers seem to drive so as I said above, 2 cheap bikes makes a lot more sense than one expensive one. If someone CBA, that's their prerogative but is a race after all and the leagues do lead into National Trophies and World Cups.

I have to disagree. Pits with full bike changes are a fundamental part of 'cross and a key rule difference between it and MTB racing

Yeah, I have to take back that comment about the main race, that is a decent turn out.

Who washes a bike at a summer cross?

My two cheap alloy canti bikes cost less combined than the carbon bling disc bikes many people are racing.

I went down to Bethlem to spectate last night and managed a quick lap on 23c road tyres which was fun. I also told someone in an LFGSS to do a skid and they obliged which was rather good of them.

It's interesting to see how small the fields are compared to previous years, and only one hitter too. Quite a few punctures including Jules whilst he was comfortably leading which lead to a lot of swearing. Speaking to the comm, they are going to try and persuade Michael to get rid of the stupid one bike/no pit rule as it is putting people off from entering. Leaving work early only to puncture and be forced to pull out is no one's idea of a good evening.

Fair play for getting out. I won't ask for more detail of the happy ending

looks out of the window

I'm being "detained at work" too.

Weather forecast doesn't look very enticing for a North London raiding party. I'll prepare for a ride but may well bail...

After the embarrassment of getting an #Outliers tattoo only for their Instagram account to die, I shall not be making that mistake again

message me when you're approaching orpington and I'll set you a link

If you say "an owl", you definitely aren't getting your tings...

I've got the trousers...

I just wanted to dress up as this guy

*punting?

Next time we'll do the full Woldingham Hill with you and do one less CP hill to avoid the horrible descent into South Norwood.

The partial lunar eclipse after the White Bear was stunning, I wish we had stopped for a better look!

The link didn't work on my phone, it just showed a direct route. For those that also had that issue:
