cheers Daz.
Well, I've entered this one this weekend as part of my drive to enter more races. Third race in 16 days. I don't think I entered that many all year last year :eek:
And when I say race..... I mean the emphasis is on entering!:o
whizzed round this this morning, knocking 4 mins off my time from 2 years ago :D
not too muddy, and the rain kept off - I love this race
excellently organised/marshalled by Bell Vue Racers :cool:
MTBB/Vince - how did you get on...?
I didn't do it Daz. Ended up going over to do the Shining Cliff Woods race. My other half hijacked my plans a week ago when she decided that we could make a day of it and go to Bakewell and Matlock Bath afterwards. The Tesco on Portwood just didn't appeal to her.;)
Well done on knocking so much off your time. I did run the route last week and it was a bizarre mix of solid ice or boggy slush in places so I can't imagine conditions improved greatly in time for today.
sorry, my fault, I knew you were doing Shining Cliffs :o - how did that go?Quote:

Still managed to fall arse over tit jumping onto a mudslicken (is that a word ?) wooden bridge and I just skated straight over the other side. :rolleyes:
I did better than I thought I would do, but that last finishing hill is a bit of a killer (all 400m of it :o). Got 37.30 ish but forgot to stop my watch as racing 2 others to line line!
Going to try and find the results now.
No results around yet as far as I can see.

84th/157 for me - rats! thought I might've just crept into the top half for once!
Wahaaay! :D 58th/157 and it was nice to do a race where I am not the last Senior male for once!Quote:
