Just back from a really enjoyable run on the 1st leg. Many thanks to my partner who although sightly quicker than me couldnt have been more supportive, unlike no.96 who hared past us on her own and was then waitng for her partner on the road above Rippoden. If anyone ever tried that with me they would get the baton wrapped round the back of their head:mad:
An added bonus is that as i was up at 4.15 this morning i will probably nod off tonight while my other half is watching X Factor
Thanks to all the marshalls and helpers for a great day
Yeap, a well organised event indeed.
Almost went wrong on leg 3 where you turn off and head past those two sheds before the golf course, but a bingley pair behind us where true gentlemen and shouted us back.
Really enjoyed the route and was supprised how quickly it was over and done with....time flys and all that.
Had a short chin wag with antisocial...what a wonderful fellow indeed, mudders at the startline as he said he would:D, Derby Tup after my leg and then the great man himself...Ian...Dark....Peak! and storyteller., fleeter, stanners and screw-loose turbo.
Reet grand day.
Not surprised Salford made up a place after seeing the speed Roadie ad his partner set off ;)Quote:
