My legs are suffering from no exercise, yesterday's ride up to the craven arms was a bit of a lethargic affair. When i'm running i can do these rides...

The fact that it's local to me is one of the reasons it looks a bit grim; that and the distance.

No, the Haworth Hobble is well outside of my distance capabilities. Not sure i could have walked it trouble free tbh.

Mr B i know you were a regular at the checkpoint above Todmorden on the Haworth Hobble..... but did you ever run the race?

It's great and local to us. I've done it a dozen times, sometimes fast and sometimes slow. Good weather, but more often crap. Great food at the...

My second claim clubmates at Horsforth Harriers go on about this one quite a lot, it looks pretty grim to me for a variety of reasons.

Had a session with a movement specialist yesterday, he was a bit confused as to how some parts of me work under certain circumstances, but not under...

Quite possibly.

I got a very tough handicap last time i did this. The final steep climb wasted me and i was pretty much last. I've had some bad injury news so not...
