I'll be there. It's usually a good turnout for this fast and furious race.
It's the same day as Rivington Pike race I'm sure some will be undecided which one to do:confused:
Its got to be Pendle, a classic up and downer. Excellent pub in village, what more do you need.
But Pendle has annoying kids in the pub!
I'll be in the Isle of Man Easter Saturday holding a water bottle at road crossings for a certain person :rolleyes:
No contest!
Pendle anytime.
Far too much road/concrete at the Pike.
Although Pendle has a bit too.
Good to hear you're good. Keep us up to date with races you're going to be at, it's good to see you around.
I'm good, running well, but I think I might be getting a bit grumpier.
Did you see the cake thread? I'm sure if you had a bit more time you would have been a prolific poster on that thread.
Pendle for me any day.
Rivington pike:
- is too flat
- has too much tarmac
- has too much concrete
- has too many grassy fields
- is further away than my half mile journey to Pendle.
I'll be at Pendle for my 22nd time !
See you there.
I'll be at Pendle for my 22nd time.
My 1st post on 'new style' forum and since injury. Pendle will hopefully be my 1st FR of the year and with any luck the 1st of many. Physio has given me strict instructions to follow to avoid calf injury so if that doesn't work then the Mud Rocs are going in the bin and I will concentrate 100% on the bike!
Good little race on a hill I love from a great village (with pub) and only a 15 minute drive from home. Hope to see you all there......
:confused: I've not run this race for 18 years due to having a mountain bike stuck to my arse. Iwill be running it this year though. Can you tell me if it takes the same route.
Is that lovely steep bracken bank still involved?
Probably. The only change I can recall in the last 20 years or so is the route to the finish from Buttock which is now the same as the outward route i.e. along the track by the side of the reservoir. It used to be across the fields the same as the tour and half tour.
I stand corrected. I much prefer the finsh across the fields. I think I'm correct in saying that the longstanding record for this race (29:44 by Jack Maitland in 1984) was set when the finish was across the fields although the actual finish line was in the same place as it is now by the village hall.
The Rivington pike race will be my first race back, finally getting over my ankle injury........ can't wait!! :)
Pendle for me without doubt - despite the fact that I've spent most of the winter training there on Tuesday nights!!
This race is my favourite route on Pendle - short, fast with not much flat running. Just a shame my preparation has been hampered by my first cold/chest infection for 2 yrs. Still - recuperation is still quicker than the injuries of the last 2/3 yrs.
See you all there
Good to see you back on the forum AlsoRan. Have you at last managed to get rid of that virus..........on your PC I mean?
See you at Pendle
Was like a summers day up there today. 1st race of the year & since injury and managed to get under 40 mins so quite pleased. Forgot to fill my results envelope in - is there likely to be a link off the FRA site or the CLEM site? Anyone any idea what the mountain rescue helicopter was up to?
The air ambulance came to assist the paramedics with a collapsed walker half way up the steps; eventually the mountain rescue team were called and brought him down the steps and a road ambulance took him away; they weren't rushing so i don't think it was serious.
It was alovely afternoon for watching.
Glad it was nothing serious - any excuse for a spin out in the chopper!!

the link doesn't appear to work
Oh yes it does :D .
What a day.
Any news on results for this??
Not sure if I want reminding, but it was a first attempt so it will be a PB!
What a lovely day! Good race to test my achilles out!
Anyone know if the results are up yet?
