Three Peaks Cyclocross

I probably won't care Al!

Haha, do you want me to give you a slip stream on the road sections...or is that against the rules.

Has yours got a motor on then?

Well if i talk my mum/dad to come, we could hook you up to our discovery!.....hell you wouldnt have to pedal at all!

[Al Fowler]

Just done a qucik rough distance guess using the 'get directions' thing on google and it says its a 109mile round trip.....atleast theres a break in between going to watch each section.

Thinking about it, i may cycle to and watch the start, then head straight to ribblehead and then to horton and miss out I'bourgh

Any of you fellow deviants ridden the thing on a singlespeed? My only cross-like bike is a fixed Pompino (currently with road tyres). Because I like it, not for any hair-shirt puritanical reasons.

Now I know this would make a fine 'singlecross' bike with a freewheel and smaller chainwheel, both of which are in the shed ...but I don't want to die on this thing. I'm under no illusions about doing well, beating the cut-offs and avoiding old ladies passing me would be good.

I know it's been done lots of times on singlespeed (and fixed even) but still, what do you folks think?

I'm thinking of having a go at Jon's record, do you wanna race?

Red or Yellow oasis?

Guinness for me

Now Rich, you know that would just be embarrassing for both of us. You wouldn't want to see an old mate suffer would you?



I like the red oasis best thanks Al. Can you manage a peanut butter roll too

kinda unsporting but this does happen

i recall overtaking 5 cars doing low 20's mph towing cyclists between Whernside and Pen y Ghent last year

would of been safer had they got inside the vehicles and had a lift...and scarcely less naughty

How much does that Pompino weigh ? I might swap you for my geared poprad for the day if yours is not too heavy.

It's not heavy, I'd take a guess at 21lb? That might work out quite nicely..?
