Today's poet

[Harry H Howgill]

You will be a little star of course...i have put in some canny training then this weekend got a bit of a bug, also the other night I woke with massive cramp in both calves, whats that all about?

freckle just wants to get around
whilst her fell poet friends run abound
sometimes its good to be
at the at rear of the pack
a line of snecklifters at the bar
and a pat on the back!!!!!!!!!
so while you athletes are relaxing early doors
spare a thought for ol freckle
who will probably be stuck outr on those moors
a quivering, jibbering little elf
a shadow of her former self
all this for no medal or goodie bag
but for a more illustrious tag
that of
fellrunner?

That's great. Did you order a t-shirt for your goody bag? I went for the mug option.

I get cramp if I don't keep hydrated enough. But then I have to get up to go to the loo at night, so the choice is yours: Cramp or a full bladder disturbing your sleep.

apparently !!!!!!!!!?????!!!!!!!! eeeeeeeeek!.......please, please, please tell me you are doing it too ?

I am, I am!
You will love it man!
Are you going up just for the day or making a w'end of it?
I think we are going to try and go for the w'end.

Aww harry, mines the T-shirt...I love getting T-shirts! I've been really disappointed lately that due to the economic downfall we don't get T-shirts at races anymore! My 2008 Three Peaks T-shirt is looking a bit tired now....devastating...I don't think it will last til 2011...so if anyone wants to donate their 2010 edition.....

A busy one for you then!
I'm not that glad I am doing it now as I just can't get the hill training in ......but I know I will love the atmosphere and the scenery....see you there unless you are doing Gisborough Moors

Cycling by Eric Zillmer (I'm not sure of the last but one line)

arms hands bars knees
spinning blur
fast trees
heart bangs
tides sing
winds roar
gears ching
climbing grades
sweat drips
heavy legs
couple of sips
breathing deeper
suck the air
press the hill
pedals tear
feel no pain
feel no burn
still time to go another turn
mind is clear
thighs are tight
rolling speed
wheel flight
cycling
