Just watch out for the cyclists.. people think we are mad but they really are.:eek:
grub in the pub afterwards,good bit of banter with cyclists.fields hard work,good climb,brilliant descent.mudbaby will be in her element.
a really nice low key event.
sounds like its worth the drive over, have meant to try this one for last few years but always find excuses not to. anyone got an address or post code for the pub so can map directions?
Fishermans Inn,Quote:

Seen some pics of last years race and only spotted cross bikes, hope this helps;)Quote:

The pub's also at the beginning. Why not cut out the middle section? :)Quote:

its what your happy riding as there is no hassle.
what is the fastest?
mountain bike or cross bike?
so cyclist v harriers v mountain bikers
I in my injured, run down and knackered state will be there. Might even clean the bike.
Keighley and Craven has ordered a club cycling shirts as as you know we are superior at all sports. They have not arrived yet but watch out when they do as we start to dominate the cycling scene.
today cyclists v Harriers, tomorrow the world
Brett are you having a go at this ? Your in the superior K and C cycling team are,nt you ?:)Quote:

Look out for Dennis the Menace!

am i right, is the pub/start just along from saltaire? kids/missus mite come and may well want to go in there for a look
a little way along, maybe a couple of miles or so
What's the best way in from Bradford side? A650 then B6265?
At the roundabout just past the Bankfield (Ramada Jarvis) go straight on instead of taking the Bingley bypass. Head down the hill, bear right over the river bridge and turn right immediately before Beckfoot school. Don't know about the parking situation though, I'm hoping that Bingley Harriers will flag directions from there.
just park along road,its always been a low key event.
park near fishermans,walk along canal,past locks,cross over canal on hump back bridge,race starts in field on left,you will see others milling around.
have a good one.
Thanks Dylan. Bit of a home fixture for me, on Hope Hill. Never done this race before though, so looking forward to it.
Did Brett wait for you?:cool:Quote:

Glad you had a good run. :)
Cheers Milli! Two races in two days is asking for an injury to be honest!Quote:

I only just beat her mind, and thats only cos I hit her with my bike, (the rock missed).
I only waited for you in the last race to be polite as I didn't want you to get lost:DQuote:

Who else is moving west along the canal for tomorrow's race at Silsden? I'm sure I'm not the only idiot doing both events, even if Dom is pretending to be sensible.
The Wave Harriers, which at 3.00pm looked like something you'd give a very lucky pig by way of a treat, will be dripping for a couple of days, so it's Walshes tomorrow for me despite the tow path sections.
brrrrr it was so cold
good turn out,i believe best yet
the support was great,loads of cheering
thanks you to all
am i right in saying rob bet the record for bike by 2 mins
results should be out by monday
He was certainly a couple of minutes clear of his nearest challenger beginning the descent from Dobrudden (I know, because I was still wheezing my way up the hill! :eek:)
After that, there wasn't another cyclist in sight, and I saw at least 12 runners heading back down to the Glen. Did harriers win overall, or were the cyclists able to make up enough ground on the descent? I suspect that would have been asking too much, given the conditions; but that makes Rob's ride all the more impressive.
runners won the cyclists,well we are superior beings after all,
the first lady had a great run
i believe she was from buxton
I think that explains why Antisocial has been compelled to take up cycling.:DQuote:
