Re: midsummer madness races

Well done Bill.
You put on an excellent weekends racing and made a lot of folk very happy.
To name but a few.
Amex and his lovely lady were smiling all way round.
Tussockface was talking it serious as he wore the same coloured vest all weekend.
Flightless Bird showed better diving skills than Drogba on the flatest course.
AS was thanking and hugging all the marshalls.
Turbo Tom was struggling to make a fantasy team claiming to have a bad knee.
And I got to see the whole spectacle.

Thanks Stagger. And thanks for your help, and Mrs Stagger's, and all the other wonderful marshals.

Just to confirm. Yes, I did take a tumble at Tom Tittiman. And I blame it all on Stagger for his bare chested look. Nearly turned my stomach. "PUT IT AWAY STAGGER!"

Well deserved, Bill. A brilliant series as always. Cunning Bogs course, impeccable organisation, a lot of laughs. The spirit of fellrunning is alive and well.

Furthermore, I can exclusively reveal here that TurboTom has pledged to change his name by deed poll to "Tom Tittiman-Thomas" in time for next year's race.

You won't regret it Deejay. The atmosphere is wonderful. Bill somehow manages to combine ultra-efficiency with ultra-low-key. Even when the master copy of his results disappeared ten seconds before the prizegiving, he just tutted briefly, gave a resigned chuckle, and worked them all out again in about a minute flat.

Thank your lucky stars it was not Amex who had his gut out, I saw it encased in a rather girly FP (should that be FB) hoodie and that was enough.

Re: midsummer madness races

Thanks from us soft southerners as well to Bill and CVFR for the usual excellent weekend. Nice to see an upturn in the numbers. Definitely the best Reservoir Bogs route to date.

Good to see you back again, Invisible. Insofar as you can be seen, that is. Stagger obviously lacks the magic eye.

Not sure how an event organised by calder valley and mainly contested by clubs from Leicester and Essex can be seen as tough.

I counted approx. 12 number from distance, i would not say that would be classed as mainly, for a very intelligent man you don't half start some crap sugar plum xx

One must converse at the level that those he is conversing with understands.

You missed the other 11 then, are sure you can see well enough to marshall?

Very true - buts its still a Calder valley race, which makes it a fell equivalent to the school egg and spoon. (apart from the trog of course which a bit more like the three legged race).

I think its only fair of the mighty KCAC to show some support to the little clubs.

I wish I was the only one (my group being everyone over 40) it would have made it easier, alas I only cam 4th overall out of all cats, it came close to the wire in the end. Year before that i came second and I think Ballentine won it. It was only fair to let one of CV win this time.

I was trying to persuade Brett last night that the series should be part of next years KCAC championship but I am not sure you could take the humiliation.

Well seeing as Buckden is the 3rd week in June and CV is called Midsummer there is a chance they will ALWAYS CLASH.

Also aren't half you club joining Wharfedale the hosts of Buckden fell race?

All of whom (except Will who is injured) were in our recent Millennium way A team, our Calderdale A team etc. Except T Wolfenden - is he related to the lovely Tizz leader of our 4 womens MR teams and runner in the first placed ladies team? I also think Steve Brock may have something to say about that oh and of course D Ballantine

So you are saying CVR organise a clash on purpose so they can avoid a real race?

2 of our members were expelled 7 or so months ago and sent to purgatory. As opposed to CVFR and hell. (or ponies and oblivion).

D Ballantine is a race tart.
Apologies to mr Brock.
Also forgot Tizz's name cos I never see her name in fell race results.
When's the next KCAC trail race? - Hobble, Rivock Edge, Yorkshire man half/full. Show me a KCAC "fell" race that I can't do in Willy Smith's 10k racing flats. :o

Well possibly in one respect that i have no mates, but not in the respect that I then have form my own club to attract other no hopers to be my friends. Though it did look like you had eaten most of your other members when we met.

Interesting - everyone knows who we are without the name (though if I run in Leicester people assume I am part of the Tigers rugby team) - the awe spreads - do you have to tell people who you are then?
