Harriers V Cyclists

[RichardAThackeray]

by a certain Richard Thackeray. But the map provided doesn't cover the whole race - unless there is a way of navigating the map which I don't know.

Well, that's the map that was attached to a thread on the Bingley Harriers forum.

I've ridden it twice (07 & 08), but ran it last year.
Due to making the mistake of using the Mountain-Bike, instead of the 'cross-bike', the portage sections were grim.

I was also quicker on foot! (by about 6 minutes!), & will be running again this year too!

I'll probably run it again, not too many post race ales though. I have to cycle back to Leeds on the L/L canal in the dark !!!

Lots of buses around there, and trains back to Leeds from Bingley or Saltaire.

Thanks to Richard and Dominion - it was my map reading (un)skills at fault. Lucky I'm not contemplating running something more complicated.

If you do get there, come & say "Hello". although I may be wearing my new club-colours, not one of my (tried & trusted) 'Featherstone Road Club' jerseys

I say 'may be wearing......' as I joined http://www.ackworthroadrunnersandac.co.uk/ on Thursday evening, after the club-run)

Brilliant picture! (Rather you than me, though.) I'm probably being over-ambitious as usual in thinking of HvC for this year, but if I should make it I'll keep a look out for you, as well as for those death-dealing cyclists. However, a back view would certainly be more useful.

Sorry about starting the new thread (with my words now added to the existing one), but I did search for a thread, but the search function wasn't throwing one up

Dennis the Menace had a very enjoyable day out.

Just re-reading this thread

Clive..

Can I take it this was you back at that race??

It's easy enough to find. Go to Advanced Search and search for the keyword cyclists in thread titles only.

It's my 'Techno-Luddism' rearing its ugly head!
