Leg 1, done & dusted, time to relax now :)
Awesome weather, a little too hard underfoot for my tiny hobbits feet with lots of cheese grater turf and icy patches, well done all who ran.
Amazing value brunch back at start: Hot Hollands pies 50p, Muffins 50p and all the tea you can drink for free. Brilliant!
Big thanks to organisers.
Horwich won.
Salford second.
Quality day that.
Slight error on leg 1 cost us a bunch of places but not to worry. The ice certainly made things interesting....if you didnt attempt to atleast draw some blood you didnt try hard enough.:p

Pics from leg 3 at the Shepherd's Rest Inn. Missed the first few ?? teams passing.
Calder Valley looked to have 3rd place sewn up when I saw them.:)Quote:

Horwich
Salford
Calder Valley
Blackburn H
Rossy
Clayton
I think in the top places.
John Sutton went straight to Casualty after a fall on the big descent on Leg 1 - battled on to the finish but probably cost us a few minutes.
He's reported to be OK.
Deserves a lot of credit for keeping going in what must have been severe pain.
Thanks for refusing to lend me a safety pin on the grounds they were your lucky pins!Quote:

:D Nobody can have my lucky safety pins.Quote:
