Given that it's the most popular event on the Calder Valley FR annual calendar, with 8 teams entered last year, I think they were probably just...

Thank you. I like old maps from which railways have disappeared. I like being out in the country and seeing bridge abutments or lines of trees...

Back on the Arkose today, still shod with knobblies, for a ride out via Monyash and Longnor to the Staffordshire Moorlands and todays beautifully...

Yeah! Way to Go Noelly! https://commutesmartnw.org/photos/way_to_go_winners/WTGsquarelogo.jpg

Quite! I have to say i didn't necessarily agree with the negative comments of the Calder guys, and think the Lee Mill Relay is a goodun'...

Nevermind Bedworth😂

Now that is really unfortunate; all of the pain and none of the gain. It's worth saying that it took 6 years to electrify the London - Manchester...

1 minute and 8 seconds today. If I keep up this level of improvement, I'll be there in no time. :rolleyes:

I recieved comments to that effect the first time i bought a team up to the Lee Mill Relays... the Calder Valley lads... "can't believe you came...

Today's ride was via Wymeswold, Six Hills and Thrussington. As on Friday's ride, I went past a "Road closed" sign. On Friday, the sign was on...

At least here they actual built the railway improvements. In my neck of the woods, several bridges were rebuilt, with roads typically being closed...

Getting tripped and ending up on the floor at the start of Wansfell, one of the most congested starts there is.

I'd like to say that if Otley Chevin is good enough for Emma Clayton then it's good enough for me; but I can't, and it isn't. I'd like to blame the...

Went out running with a mate from a rival club this morning. We are pretty evenly matched (in fact at last year's National XC we finished within 4...

I got these for two years in a row after moving to the Lakes, never having had them before. I have not had them since discovering Dexshell waterproof...

37 new bridges? I demand a re-count. The level crossing at Hademore I knew well, and was replaced by one bridge (I cycled over it yesterday). The...

Crossed the West Coast mainline at Tamworth on the new bridge that replaced the nearly new bridge. Twenty plus years ago it was a level crossing with...

I get these sometimes. I find wearing socks in bed makes a big different - perhaps it helps them recover? Either way it seems to work - give it a go.

Hello! I’m based in Newbury... I’ve thought about the BGR in the past and did legs 3+4 in a day last summer. I’ve done most of the other legs except...

My chilblains are very itchy. They are worse than ever this winter. Too much running in the snow. ❄️ ❄️

Eight degrees C when I started, and with very little wind and overcast. Temperature dropped a bit, and the wind got up a bit too, so the shorts and...

:D currently residing in a standard-issue house at the moment... although when i move, who knows! I'm also a fan of the RC Ultras... i wore...

Poked my head outside today./QUOTE] I don't mean to be rude, but do you live in a tent or perhaps a yurt Travs? Whenever I hear the phrase...

A run today from Hurdlow to the end of the HPT and around the quarry then down to Earl Sterndale. Up to todays TP at High Wheeldon before back down...

It's jealousy and the need to be seen to be treating everyone the same...unless you like to pray in a church/mosque, which for some bizarre reason...

7.09 miles, 2,992 feet, 2 hours 53 minutes: Waterhead - Skelgill Wood - Stagshaw Gardens - Jenkins Crag - Wansfell Pike - down/up/down the race route...

One case reported on Orkney yesterday.

Poked my head outside today and decided it wasn't good conditions for a 5km attempt. So put on the Scott RC's and headed off to the (very wet) local...
