Gisborough Moors Race

[Deadlegs]

I think Matt Speake broke the course record which has stood since 1984. Sub 80 minutes? Will have to wait for results but he is a class act.

Gisborough Moors next week at 11.00am on Sunday 10th April, longest (12.5mls and 2600' climb) and the last of the Esk Valley Fell Club Winter Series. Few sore legs this week after the deceptively hard Blakey Blitz last week.

Not been much rain in the area for a few weeks now, so if it continues to stay dry conditions will be fast. Have a good one.

Rain or no rain I will be bringing up the rear! I have really enjoyed this series though, my first foray into this bonkers sport. These races have been rock hard and have royally exposed huge chasms in my training.

Probably be back again at the end of the year to do it all again.....the Viking is already in the diary!

You only have to wait until 26 April, first summer series race, The Carlton Challenge, 5 more miles on bonkerdom.

I may do something in the summer but I am planning racing in some other areas. NYM holds my winter charm.

Permission to add 'Bonkerdom' to my general vocabulary please...

great race and tough cos fast with the trail sections but dont be fooled into wearing road shoes you need some studs to descend to and from the Matterhorn of Teeside and for the final bomber descent to the rugby club, aye n keep a bit in the tank for the final run in down belmansgate

Looking forward to it. Its been gloriously sunny the last two years so I hope it will shine again. Those that did them both will remember how odd it was that the last of the winter series felt like summer and then for the start of the summer series at Carlton Bank we had snow!!
