Are you riding this time fishbulb?

I shall be marshalling at Ingleton, say hello!

I'm in for this one, first time on the start line and can't wait although a bit nervous about doing something wrong and getting a bo**ocking from all the cyclists, they're so uptight ;o)

Only ever done 1 cyclo-X race plus Harriers/Cyclists, but hoping a load of MTB'ing has got my eye in on the descents. Been running well this year so hopefully the ascents will be ok, although i'm a skinny weakling so bike might be too heavy ;o)

Have a good race everyone.

Dreading it - far too little training this year

Glad I didn't enter this time otherwise I'd be suin' the kind soul ("R" type) who gave me their cold (see Thievely Pike post).

I did the double last year...Scafell Pike on Sat/3PCX on Sun...not a great combo!

I have ridden the race many times durin' the 90's so I know 'ow tough it is.

Instead I'm ganna try 'n do a film of the event. So if any forumites spot a knackered owd tup carryin' a camcorder/tripod instead of pushbike then do gi'me a nod .

Hope to be somewhere high up on the first major climb (carry) then movin' on to Ingleborough. After that I'll try and get somewhere high up on Pen-Y-Ghent.

wharfee's tip..."Save some for Ghent!"

Have a good un lads n lass's see you all on the start line or sat night if your camping

[Hanneke]

I am with Antisocial... dreading it somewaht as no training done of any merit for this and my cycling has gone to pot after the track champs end of July... Just got to count on the gritted teeth and determination to get through this me thinks!

Chevin... It was my first last year and I had never done cross before or ridden a bike off road and I was fine... slow but fine, I am sure you will do well

[Hanneke]

I will be wearing Cardiff Ajax CC kit, like below, so give me a shout when you see me crawling around... I will need some encouragement

Are you riding this time fishbulb?

Aye. Like everyone else apparently, I haven't done enough training, got a cold and a bad back. Bring on the suffer fest!
Good luck everybody.
