“PowerBar are the 2008 Official Sports Drink, Energy bar and Gel to the Tour de France,” – Yeh, and Hit the North baby ;-)

London 1st of May 2008

PowerBar Teams up with exciting new MTB endurance race Hit the North: As part of our ongoing development of events partnerships, PowerBar has teamed up with one of the UK’s newest Mountain Bike Endurance Races “Hit the North”.

Kevin Milnes from PowerBar UK said: Endurance event partnerships have always been a core focus for PowerBar. Supporting Hit the North will allow us to reach the real grass roots of endurance mountain biking in the UK. We want to spread the message that sport nutrition is relevant in helping achieve goals for all levels of rider. Hit the North are on the same wave length as they want to attract all levels of competitor.

Andrew Mc Hugh from Hit the North said: Hit the North was founded on the principle that you can achieve whatever you want if you put your mind to it. We wanted an endurance mountain bike race in the North of England… so we organised one. The same can be said for our entrants. Only a handful will get on the podium but everyone will score some sort of personal victory if they really want to whether they are fast or slow, experienced or first timers.

We are delighted that PowerBar wish to be associated with Hit the North as part of their ongoing program of involvement with grass roots endurance sport.

Updated course update

posted by Andrew in April 26th, 2008 
in News  

The Joy of Decks 

Jason has just had a meeting with the nice man from the council and we have been given permission for a course alteration. It consists of a technical dirt climb followed by a few raised deck sections and it gets rid of a few hundred metres of tarmac. Those of you who went on the second preview ride will know it.

Also, we will be moving the start line so that the bombhole is not included in the first lap. 150+ riders all hitting it at once would be chaos.

Bikegoo are coming to Hit the North, bringing a stall selling cleaning products, lubricants and all manner of bike related bits and bobs.

They will also be providing a bike wash service (well… buckets of water and brushes) should the weather turn nasty and for a small fee they will smear you with lube too!

For further details have a look at their website.
