Using a channel read in the http handler will block the ticker for loop until the read occurs, but if you want that then pass mc into the generic function: https://play.golang.org/p/GrHQxPhy1qu
Using a buffered channel will keep the history of ticks and not block but may run out of buffer space if the handler isn't called enough. Amnon's global var should work if you are just looking for the current tick value.
