    Just for the record Richard, and to be pedandic about it , the Trunce is an independantly run set of races - nothing to do with PFRac - even though the organisor is our chairman and alot of the helpers are PFR members
    Mr Plum would tell you this himself but he probably dosn't have the time to read all this at the mo

    Enjoy season 2010 - first one 29th March

    It's a nice historic city with some wonderful buildings, & countryside, but far too scruffy (rubbish blowing about the streets)

    Oh god I know - im rubbish - firstly the snow was a problem - and now we have a Puppy (Derek) to look after - and now I have a nasty cold - not run since last Wednesday - I even missed our last handicap/pie n peas last night

    AND - Mr piglet cracked a rib falling OVER his bike the other week

    Im hoping to be clear of cold by the end of the week and the ribs alot better - so you never know - we could BOTH be there next mon fingers crossed. This needs to happen as were in the Gallop and Mr p could have an entry to the PPP

    Re: Greetings From Wakefield

    Sorry to push this one back 'into the daylight', but...............


    Are there any 'Forumites' in the Wakefield, or closely surrounding, area who may be free on certain (mutually agreeable) days for local runs, be they road (yes I know, boring), or trail/XC?

    Plus, is there anyone who rides a road-bike in the vicinity, the Club lads are too quick for me at this time of year
    The cyclo-cross season has finished, & my furthest rides have only really been to work & back since the new year, so I'm out of condition



    Travelling to meet up may take a bit more arranging now as despite what I wrote in my opening post states..............

    Land Rovers (on my 5th now)
    I sold my Defender (a Td5 powered 110 County Station Wagon) on Saturday 20th February.
    It was replaced the same day with a 'blue van', a Ford C-Max!!! (a petrol version too, despite SWMBO being requested to look at diesel estates!)
    SWMBO tends to claim it for travelling to work.

    Now I have to put a written request in detailing when I require transportation


    Roll on the day I can buy another Landie (I want a 'mint' Range Rover Tdi Classic, or a 101FC)

    Re: Greetings From Wakefield

    i live wakefield way, do quite a few races/mm and try and book time out (from family) for a run in the dales or down to dark peak area, im not much into running on the roads though. I do a bit of biking but im not a roady i have a mtb, altho dont use it off road though. if you fancy a run round somewhere let mw know, langset barn and the mickleden straddle route is only 25-30 mins from wakefield and a good run out or theres variations, im not quick though
