Three Peaks Cyclocross

[Vince]

How are we all doing for the 3 Peaks cx then? I've been putting the hours in and I'm at the stage of last few efforts and then try to stay uninjured and well. Mtb race on Sunday and then Mary Towneley Loop challenge the following Sunday - possibly on cross bike, more likely on SS - and then taper. Bring it on!

Then Helwith Bridge Duathlon?

The ruts were especially sneaky this year. I had a couple of crashes on Ingleborough that put me off my stride a bit, exactly 26" diameter - evil things!

han is there camping before this event in 2014
Im learning of someone at the moment who has done this several times and got a best time of under 2.45 so hopefully i should have good race
this is providing I get 1 of the few places

That time is somewhat outdated - maybe Eric Stone in '79 or 77?

There's been several course changes since then, each time it gets longer.

The current course has been in use since 1994. Jebbie holds the record at 2.52.22 from 2008.

Google "3peakscyclocross", look at "Results" and scroll down to "Roll of Honour".

Perhaps, more importantly, look at the map of the current course; rather than what your mate might be showing

you from way back.

thanks for the info wheeze by doing quick search found lad , time and place
my fault as I could,nt remember the exact time he said and not looking at previous results
which is slightly wrong according to results I found and the times I got told
maybe this is down to the speed he has clocked me at on cx bike (not very fast)

Anyone having a ride round this time?

Aye, i'll be there, can't wait for it.

As per usual i'm yet to point the CX bike downhill this year, and there are a dozen outstanding repairs to be done, but wouldn't miss it for the world.
