Biriani for endurance, pathia for speed.
and Norman has a new course for us!!
I like the Hyndburn course. It's not obviously tough, but by the last lap you're knackered, and it's definitely cross country. You don't come out of this one with clean shoes.
I organised a race here earlier this year, and it had to be shortened, as a lady came from the council (possibly in her high heels) to assess it for health and safety, slipped over and said that section was too muddy and couldn't be used! You couldn't make it up.
Bolton-by-Bowland on the same day as this one. Can't think why anyone would want to do a cross country instead of B-b-B *
* Ask anyone who's run through the "paddy-fields" of the last mile of B-b-B

Pudgy, the toughest bit on the course is running around the outside of the track
The race does not always go to the swift, but to the ones who keep running
True. it had been raining for days a few years ago and there was a big puddle at the top of the track, extending about 3 metres from the trackside railings and you chose to take a wide route and avoid, or a little less wide and clean of your shoes a bit.
One guy hugged the fence. It was about 2ft deep there and he went straight over - head first.
Stick - reason we do it is often cos the team has committed to it. I missed the Tour of Pendle for the last one at Bury. There often are better one-off races, but it's good to go to the league XC races where you get everyone from U11 to VETs racing together as a club.
My whole family can join in.
** Sound good!
Yep, no worries Witton Park ol'bean and I wasn't being all fell-ist (is that a pruper wurd..?). You might like to give the BOFRA series a go (finished now for this year, start again next May); they also have all age groups - starting at U9's.
Good luck on Sunday! I'll be struggling around B-b-B which, spookily enough, is more like a severe cross-country for its last couple of miles!
