Three Peaks Cyclocross

"CX might be a doomed historical abnormality "
You've hit the nail on the head there. And that's the glory of this splendidly inappropriate event.

Time for a roll call?

I'll be on a black Be One wearing bright pink Velocake top, white helmet. Or black l/s Velocake if it's right chilly. Bewildered look. About 4 and a half hours-ish.

But I will concede to not knowing my ar*se from my cx elbow. :-)

Great to see another fan of the lovely Miss Batty (although soon to be wed unfortunately)... try telling a Belgian that CX is a doomed historical abnormality though.

I will look like this:

Don't know where Cold Cotes is Dom. I don't know where Horton is, or which of the 3 Peaks we tackle first, but if I see you bimbling around the start area I may give you a spare inner-tube if that's okay.My hanger arrived, but on fitting it I noticed that my rear mech is disintegrating. That's it, enough fannying around, I'm off to my lbs this afternoon.Ian Houston, race number 510. The only person I'll recognise is Dom, so say "Hi".
