Three Peaks Cyclocross

Just need to slip some new canti pads in, bung the 32 cassette on and see if those new legs have turned up yet. They've been on back order for ages.

getting real "I wish I was doing it again" pangs reading all of your posts... but then my sensible side kicks in and I think thank god! Hope you all have a blast and not too many punctures!

Come on Nik, you know that you'd love to. I lent you my mates spare rear wheel (he'd already descended and obviously didn't need it) as you were heading down Horton Scar Lane ( off P-y-G ) in 2005. I think you were testing a Crosslight Evo ( plastic back-end ) for one of the bike forums.

Pads changed (salmon kool-stops - I can even lock the wheel now!), big cassette on. Still waiting for legs. I have no clue why I'm doing this horrendous event. And it'll rain!

I am having my wheels re-built on Wednesday, talking about cutting things fine :w00t:

You're in then?

[Hanneke]

There is hoping!

Went out on the crosser Friday eve and Saturday morning, couple of hours easy and a good hr easy, seemed ok, but was easy with short carries. MTB ride yesterday in grim conditions, seemed to be ok. Ultimate test tomorrow eve on the hard route with Simon's Fell type carry and Pen-y-ghent like descent so the verdict is still out there... Ligaments still a bit inflamed but haematoma's seem to have cleared enough not to cause bother now...

You're in then?

OK bike serviced and landcruisers fitted, now I have to test it.
No Dennis the Menace tomfoolery this time as I don't want baggy shorts that keep catch on saddle during on/off!
Watch out Rob and Nick, I'm wearing proper clothes and taking it serious this year, heh heh!

Ha, that brings back painful memories.. First time doing it before I moved to the Peak District and had only London training in my legs.. was a long day Not testing that day though, on old faithful Condor.
