Cheers Bob, looking forward to it :)
anyone else coming for a run up to the Pinner?
I'm going to wander round and take photos :-) The ground's pretty dry at the moment and with the footpath improvements on the Pennine Way it'll be fast running.
There's another event nearby (a couple of miles away) - http://www.ukcyclocross.com/events/y...ool-crosshills so there might be a bit more traffic in that area.
Hoping to Macali, will see how my "3 Peaks legs" are !

That's brilliant Dino, well done. I was 9 mins slower than last year in 4.03. So a bit fed up to be fair. Had no speed & only just managed a sprint over the last 50 yards to beat a clubmate ! Very unsporting, I know.
Oy Macali ! Lay off, I'm a veteran 40 now & need to treat my body accordingly ! I'll hopefully be there with my son. Any idea how far the U14 race will be ? A mile or so I'm guessing ?

I am reliably informed that the U14s is 3.5406 km.
See you tomorrow night guys :thumbup: My first short race for months. It'll be brutal
Well under the 5k U14 race limit.Quote:

Yes and also they might get over-tired. We can't have that.Quote:

Well what a lovely bunch of folk came together tonight - it was a joy to register you all and put some faces to forumites, esp Tindersticks!
A beautiful evening, good to catch up and get out the house :thumbup:
Kildwick in a fortnight, who's playing out? :wink:
I must admit I had my doubts about the route from looking at it on google maps. Glad I went though great little race. Thanks to everyone involved for putting it on. I'll be back!

Nice videos, Kevin. Enjoyed the fact I was overtaking/out of control (delete as applicable) in the downhill one.Quote:

Lots of birdlife in that area. The Green Woodpecker was calling when the sun disappeared below Pinhaw horizon, in fact it called just as you reached Kev and me. Grand evening on the hill.Quote:

745' ascent
Depends which route you ran Graham :)
Suunto Ambit made it 948 feet 3.60 mile and I felt every one of themQuote:

Sssh! Don't be naughty!
Just for the avoidance of any doubt - all the junior runners were running in their correct categories. I've checked!
