    Re: 3 Peaks CX entry list on l

    Have just got back from 33 mile 3px training ride organised by the Yorkshire cyclocross association. Hard ride led by a Mr R Jebb who apparently is a well known Fell runner and cyclist. Was at the back most of the time and extremely knackered. Surprised not to see any forumites there.

    Just need to concentrate on my uphill, downhill and riding and the flat and then I will be fine.

    Was tied up in the Lakes this weekend otherwise I would have been on this along with stile fixing yesterday.
    Anti - did you mean Rob was at the back knackered most of the time or you?

    Re: 3 Peaks CX entry list on l

    seems a good 'ard day out...well done
    was it mainly road or offroad ?

    i fancied it myself but must admit a ride led by someone who generally finishes events an hour and more ahead of me sounds like alot of suffering

    my training is generally going ok consisting of

    10-17 mile fell runs
    4 hr hilly road rides
    10tt's shooting low 22's
    some interval/hill work

    may try and actually do some off road riding nearer the time

    oh and buy a squash ball to build up my braking endurance/grip !

    I am planning a 4hr x-ride tomorrow, on the hills, to test my endurance...

    Building up the running again as well, at last... and doing a 10mTT and a 25m TT in preparation as well, as well as trying to carry the bike a fair bit. My upper back is killing me. I have no upper body strength

    Don't worry i am totally offended at the unwarranted abuse. Seeing as though you are the most constant breaker of the forum code of conduct I am expecting you to do the right thing and ban yourself as Stolly seems to have done.
