Every time i've gone to this race it's been foul weather, including last year when i was summit marshalling. The forecast for tommorrow is fairly good, so i might have a pop at taking Ted's descent route; i believe it's a rite of passage for all Wharfedalers to attempt Ted's routes once, at Ted's suicidally high speeds.

Pissing it down again, and the pub didn't have a fire on :thunbdown: bad form. Noticed PeeJay's stealth kit check rooting out the cases of non-compliance at the start, with the ruthless efficiency that only a tyrant of an organiser could possess. Nice to see Pedwar and Ernie again.

Great race to watch yesterday and some fine efforts by all the runners.
Well done also to Peejay and his merry band of helpers.
Clader Valley with a hat trick of yorkshire wins.

Really enjoyed the race yesterday, thanks to the RO and the marshalls - especially those on the misty summit.
Loved the boggy descent, picked up a few places and didn't ever get stuck. Was pleased with my run, although was a distant third in my family group.

Well done to the Naughty Pixie on the medal
