I shall pretend to run, SteveS. Pretending to run is what I do best. That and falling.

A bit different to my first one, a run over a leg of the BG. Maybe we should just ditch the running bit completely so we can fit all this other stuff in :)

OOh I fancy cooking lessons, dancing and absailing off the moot hall :D I don't see any wild swimming on there; how about ice skating?!!!! :thumbup:

Also notably absent; beer consumption :o

Oh only if I could just run like normal people!

Technology failed my HTC phone this morning but the link above is the planned XOTF cycle ride. Relatively lowland, not too long but a bit of fun. I have the Memory Map route available for those who are interested. maps will be provided on the day to those who ask but the printing is a little 'vague' at present.

Let me know if you are interested and don't be put off by the bone crunching references in the description. Its a mountain bike magazine after all, they don't cater for nails fellrunners!

Who said anything about us being nails fellrunners? That talk of descents scares me :confused:

Given the terrrain and the time of year I feel that it would be only sensible for those planning on using bikes with baskets that they give consideration to bringing a few spare strands of wicker - just in case.

There will not be a kit check but those not bringing bikes may face sanction.
