Simon Bailey was actually 15 seconds outside the record. Unfortunately we didn't have the previous years' results or the course records to hand (although they might have disintegrated in the rain anyway), otherwise no doubt Victoria's new record would have been confirmed at the presentation.Quote:

According to the information supplied in the FRA handbook the current record holder is J Wilkinson 34.25 in 1999 which would make Simon the new record holder.Quote:

Just seen a cracking bit of video of the race on the Bingley Harriers Forum......Part 1 at least! Apparently there is a part 2 anyone seen it yet? and if you have can you point me in the right direction!:confused:
Part 2 back on minus music.(copyright issues??).Good commentary from Iken Fityemean (I think).:cool:Quote:

I would use YouTube but I seem to have loads of probs with them.
In order to get all 3 parts of this race up in the same week I used different accounts so the easiest way to access them all is via http://snipurl.com/bingleyharrier
The only reason for music was to mask some of the rain noise etc bouncing off all the plastic covering the camcorder. I was also marshalling at the same time so apologies for some ropey footage.
So did I with IE, now use Firefox to upload and haven't had any problems since.Quote:

Already sorted this one out , issue was with the race calendar entry being passed to the FRA before the race record was broken last year. The same will happen with the womens record for next year unless somebody informs the FRA.Quote:

FRA, by the way the womens record was broken this year by V. Wilkinson in 38:46, 2009.
Parts 2 & 3 of the Harriers Vs Cyclist video's found here
Try sending a PM to FRA Fixtures (Margaret Chippendale) - but it may be too late to get it into next year's calendar - not sure when it goes to the printers.Quote:

Aha, Google just found this for meQuote:

by a certain Richard Thackeray. But the map provided doesn't cover the whole race - unless there is a way of navigating the map which I don't know.
Up the hill, through the field, up to Baildon, round Baildon, head back the way you came.
Nope, that's whole route.Quote:

What a fantastic event this is!
Biked last couple of years, was going to run it this year (no bike = no car necessary = train = post race ales), but have done my ankle in so hoping for a swift recovery in time.
I'll probably run it again, not too many post race ales though. I have to cycle back to Leeds on the L/L canal in the dark !!!Quote:

Well, that's the map that was attached to a thread on the Bingley Harriers forum.Quote:

Due to making the mistake of using the Mountain-Bike, instead of the 'cross-bike', the portage sections were grim.
I was also quicker on foot! (by about 6 minutes!), & will be running again this year too!

Lots of buses around there, and trains back to Leeds from Bingley or Saltaire.Quote:

Thanks to Richard and Dominion - it was my map reading (un)skills at fault. Lucky I'm not contemplating running something more complicated.
Pleased to help:DQuote:

I say 'may be wearing......' as I joined http://www.ackworthroadrunnersandac.co.uk/ on Thursday evening, after the club-run)
Brilliant picture! (Rather you than me, though.) I'm probably being over-ambitious as usual in thinking of HvC for this year, but if I should make it I'll keep a look out for you, as well as for those death-dealing cyclists. However, a back view would certainly be more useful.Quote:

not done it before and will be running.
Sorry about starting the new thread (with my words now added to the existing one), but I did search for a thread, but the search function wasn't throwing one upQuote:

It's easy enough to find. Go to Advanced Search and search for the keyword cyclists in thread titles only.Quote:

I'm a bit annoyed about this one now:angry:
I asked for the days holiday over 2 months ago (& I'm damned sure it was granted, but can't find my counterfoil)
As of the other Monday (1st), it hadn't been put in 'the book', so filled out another request.
When I looked on my last working day (Friday 12th), it's still not showing - time for some 'ass-kicking' tomorrow when I return after this 'long weekend':angry:
I might end up having to try & swap shifts & leaving a couple of hours early
Just to ensure everybody knows the route the official map used on the day has been attached.
This is a fantastic event (I would say that I'm organising it :o) which this year will see both the former World Triathlon Champion, and one of GB’s best hopes for 2012 gold, Alistair Brownlee and Rob Jebb, the current and eight times winner of the Three Peaks cyclo-cross race and former Sky-Runner World Series champion. The head-to-head makes it a race not to miss.
Even if you can't run / ride come for a watch if you’re in the area.

Do we know yet if Rob is riding, or running, it?
Presumably Alistair is running?
Duely sorted out, I'm now free to head up to BingleyQuote:

Come on! get a grip :)
details
you can leave stuff in the pub
Don't you know anyone who's going who may leave your stuff in their car??Quote:

Look for John ('Mr Three Peaks Cyclo-Cross') Rawnsley sitting there, in his silver VW Passat (if he's still got it) signing-on is by his car
Race starts at 14:00
Cheers Brett. Were you out headtorching last night? Hopefully I'll be joining in again next wednesday, unless you're all off somewhere exotic again...
We were!
See you next Wed
rumour has it they are both riding....(Brownlee and Jebb)
Which are you doing??Quote:
