Just looking at the printed FRA calendar and it refers to a separate entry for junior races - like to confirm there are no junior races this year. The FRA website is correct on this point.

Fantastic new addition to the route - loved the big descent off Stoodley. Had an interesting race having started 4-5 mins late, managed to catch the sweeper at the top of the first climb and then moved through around 30-odd postitions to finish in a decent spot (felt great doing so much overtaking!)
Big thanks to Jon, Nick, Graham and all the marshalls!
See you all tomorrow night in Heptonstall for the CVFR away run/recce/pie and peas/folk music at 6.45-7pm at the White Lion (none CVFR guests welcome)

Thanks to all who ran today - You timed it perfect so that us marshalls didn't get wet through. Well done to all.
Thought you must have started late Trig by your position before dropping down to London road. You were flying coming down from the pike towards Sunderland pasture. Well done all, I had a run over from home with the dog and didn't miss the rain on the way home.
Certainly added to the excitement - are you out for pie and peas tomorrow????Originally Posted by stevefoster
Sadly not, not enough brownie points:thunbdown:
Anyone get some photos?
There was a lady taking photos just as you dropped off down to London road, think she was cvfr. Dave Woodhead was there as well.
Never done this before but really enjoyed it. Now knowing where the extra but was added in I don't know why it wasn't there before - a great descent and a short sharp climb back up to the monument. Can fully understand what people were saying about the bog, don't think there was any way to avoid these. Great final descent to the finish as well. Thanks to all the marshals, will definitely be back next year.
