    Re: Three Peaks Cyclocross 201

    It's a race that's so hard on bike and body that I don't think you'll ever get it 100% spot on.... I've done it three times and it has never gone to plan. The last time in 2008, when I scraped under four hours, I got two flats and manage to snap off my front shifter in a crash coming off Cold Cotes... this limited me to the small chainring for the rest of the ride, making for some mad cadences on the road and real problems keeping my chain on coming off Whernside and PYG.....

    Just be dead proud you finished what I reckon is the toughest cycling event in the UK.

    You are right Nikalas... I have more respect for myself for finishing last year than I had before... it is such a hard race that on hindsight it was foolish to think I could complete it with fairly recent injuries that weren't quite healed yet... It is one thing going out on the road or track on the bike for a cvouple of hours or go for a fell run for an hour, but Three Peaks? It deserves a lot more respect than I gave it this year and it showed it! I will be back next year, hopefully in good form and un-injured!

    Is it ready yet Wharfee and am I in it? I doubt it as I only managed 1/3 of it
