Well done to all who took part and a big thanks to all those who helped us out - both on the day and beforehand.
Results are now tickety-boo and can be found here: How did you do?

Lots of photographers braved the cold so here’s a few sets that I’m aware of. If you’ve got some shots that you want to add to this list, drop us an email.
Youtube have removed the audio track from the original Hit the North Bootleg video, so I’ve Benny Hill-ified it.
I think it really works!

Mr Sparkle’s video from today’s preview. Thanks to all who showed up!

A great video of the race from Mr Sparkle Jnr, Will Fox.
This’ll bring some memories back….
Don’t forget that you can buy our exclusive, limited-edition T-Shirts at the race. We’ve got men’s and women’s versions and you can wear them everywhere. They look good on the podium.

Want to win a road bike? Buy a raffle ticket. Also in the raffle are some great prizes from our other generous sponsors. Buy a ticket. In fact, buy two.
Tickets will be available pretty much all over the place on the day, but mainly at the T Shirt stand.
Short notice, but the first one is Saturday 24th May at 2:30 pm.
The other is planned for Saturday 7th June at 12pm and this could be your final chance to ride the course with us before the race itself. There’s also some PR-type photography planned for this date so bring your make up and best wig.
Oh, and anyone who brings biscuits and a flask of weak lemon drink wins a prize*
Meet up at Fairfax Road car park (it’s free to park!), Prestwich, Manchester. HERE
