Thanks to everyone involved for a great race. Brilliant route!

My wheels came off at about 10 miles but I just scraped into the top 50% so you'll do for me Tom!

Another boringly positive thanks from me. Great race, thank God it was (incredibly comprehensively) flagged, a few potential spots for going wrong along the course. Although I have strayed far from the path of organised religion, the vicar's words nearly had me welling up, really encouraged a feeling of common endeavour.

Well done DD - you may have been re named Jake Rog in the results - will make sure its right for the media/press releases covering your sporting exploits - or do you think Rog sounds better????

The vicar recently ran the London marathon so he really knows his stuff - perhaps he'll turn his hand to fell running after seeing what all the fuss was about yesterday - watch out for a bloke in a cassock flying across the moor next year!
Although we really must make the reading a permanent feature- what do you think??????
