[ajohns352000]

So you going then? You mentioned this at the Gravy Pud 5. The whole family going with you? If you end up living ina nice running area make sure you leave me your details. Always like a weeks cheap accomm when going away. Best of luck

Yep I am definitely moving to the USA - probably early May. Family will follow a few weeks later.

Time is moving on and I am beggining to panic a little.

Will be moving to the Northern New England area and will be living in New Hampshire, ironically near a place called Manchester. Very cold in winter, very warm in summer. Lots of trails I have been told

Looking forward to it now

Nowt yesterday as I got home from work late and had been feeling crappy with a sore throat and runny nose.
Today 30miles in the woods. Six laps of a 5mile circuit. Fastest lap was the fifth.

Today 30miles in the woods.

That's a hell of a lot of trees!!

40 mins from home (80% off road) taking in Troydale/PudseyBeck/Sykes Wood -the woodland/beckside paths were drying out nicely so got away with road shoes but don't think I will tomorrow given this evening's rain plus snow forecast!!

I've just been getting in and out of the bath practising putting my socks on.

I know its incredible - I went up to ribblhead today and the river was really wild and full crazy waterfalls where normally its just a quiet river - yet geldhow valley is bone dry!

1 hour steady XC yesterday. Very windy and I got sunburn.

[Roadrunner]

22 miles on the moors, in the sun, rain, snow, sleet and hail. And the very very strong wind. I was freezing at one stage and had to stop to tie my shoe lace. Then I just couldn't get warm so had to drop down a lot in height to see if that would warm me up. After about 30 mins more I got a little warmer and could head back up the hills. Think I will stop in bed this afternoon and watch TV.

[Brummy John]

20 miles/2500' on moors with Walker Boy. It was really wild up there today, VERY strong winds and hail. The approaching hail looked like smoke in the distance. The fine stuff hurt more than the big stuff. Never seen water run uphill before today.

If anyone has lost a burgundy Honda Civic its on the rough track between Woodhouse lane and Rooley Moor Road. Four 14/15 year old scallies have nicked it and got stuck on the track. The pace they ran at from the car - we should sign em up!

Judjing by those last two posts am very pleased i checked the forecast and decided to have a day off.
I did go on the turbo trainer for 90 mins but very easy spinning just to get me legs loosened off a bit.

11.5 miles over The Downs. Headwind the whole way. Felt awful
