Tintwistle Round the resers

[DazTheSlug]

Are you doing this one then, Daz? The entry form is colourful ain't it. It's drawing me in......

Yes.
Yes I am.
The Gala Mugs make it worthwhile on their own :thumbup:

I was a bit slow at Edale, so I need to tweak up my speed in advance of Whaley Waltz... :sneaky:

Anyone else do this last night? It was my first time and the first thing that occurred to me was that it should be called "Round the Reser", since it's only around Bottoms Reservoir. A brill race and a very warm evening, we all finished with hundreds of midges salted and drowned in our sweat. There were big club turnouts from Glossopdale, Bramhall, Sale and others, but I wonder if Stockport had the biggest turnout. It was a sea of yellow.

I was thinking of doing it but couldn't get away from work early enough, so may be next year! What is the course like, is it tarmac or track?

Novice! You are meant to warm up round t'other Reser.
Missed it I'm afraid - due to workload (why does Canada, especially Vancouver, wake up so late?)

[BritNick]

Tracks and lanes, Mark - two loops with a cheeky little climb on the outward up leg and a zig-zag descent on the return down leg.

OB1, now that would be a big warm up to run round the next reservoir, considering we'd have to run the length of the first one to get there. Anyway I don't believe in warm-ups. Why waste the energy? Save it all for the race, I say.

Is it round Bottoms now? It used to be around Valehouse - 2nd reser.

You're right, Rollerblader. Silly me. Thanks for the correction.
