Ran up to 'Small-Childs' school on Monday & Wednesday afternoons (meeting wife there), the first part of the route was the same (to Stanley Ferry), then along Ferry Lane & Aberford Road.Both days runs took the scintillating time of.............. 32 minutes Wish I hadn't worn the thermal bib-tights though (as seen in the picture a couple of posts above) & a windproof/shower-proof top. I was feeing like a 'boil-in-the-bag' dinner when I got to the school on both days :roll: :roll:

AgainWednesday was 30 minutes :dance: :dance:Wonder how long it'll take me to get down to 25minutes :-k
However.....It does mean that I've got to either run, or ride, there tomorrow afternoon (for a 14:00 start)But..... One of the guys in the Transport Department is wanting to buy my Trek MTB, as I'm selling it due to lack of use, so I could combine a viewing for him with riding there.It'd live on the Consultants offices corridor until home-time, then stuff it in the back of the 110
My next Cyclo-Cross on Wednesday 4th June, at Huddersfield......
Quote from: Bush Tucker Man on May 28, 2008, 13:19:04My next Cyclo-Cross on Wednesday 4th June, at Huddersfield......It was quick, mainly on playing fields, with 60 starters in my event!Results will probably be on-line by the weekendAlso, it was a good excuse for picking up a Pizza (16" Asian meat Feast) on the way home :dance:
Sounds like it's all coming together, dude! Top stuff! Definately counts as playing in the mud in my book!
Yayy, well done Richard :clap:
You gotta be fit then !
But you have to step it up a whole new level to catch Steve..
MORE MILES !!!!!
I quite fancy also replacing my Dyna-Tech (road-bike) with something a bit newer, like a Trek Madone
Co-incidentally a flyer/entry-form dropped through the letter-box on Tuesday for a 5miler at Darrington (which is to the south-east of Pontefract), so I might enter that.I'll have to try & find out where the actual route is, so I can go & ride around it.http://www.darrington.org.uk/funrun.htmIt's still got to be run in the Club colours through

I was there this afternoon. Run it. Done it, Finished it It was damp, drizzling & fairly cool.The 'unofficial' time was 35minutes (no results around yet) :dance:I'm reasonably happy with that, given that the course record is apparantly 26:35, & the holder is a multiple marathon winner
SteveIs this a circular route??It doesn't appear to sayhttp://www.cftrust.org.uk/help/events/catandfiddle
HI Richard, the route is a circular, starting and finishing at our shop...LAST YEAR WE RAISED 50,000 QUID !!!I'm sure there will be much talk of it on EUROSPORT, we get loads of mentions on the TDF coverage, and we were even talked about on the Moto GP the other week !!!Please come and join in, come say HI too, and i'll introduce you to Sean Kelly !!
Shhhhh but, Macclesfield's in Cheshire last time I looked ;)
Cycle to the run, cycle to Birstall, do the 'cross...It's what Steve Farrell would do, if you've heard of him.
I'd managed to get along the banks of the River Calder okay & down into the woods.200 yards in, & onto the off-camber section, feet from under me."Wallop!", straight down Pick myself up.It'll be a bike-ride tomorrow, as the shoes are still sodden, as I had to rinse them in the water-butt & scrub them (semi) clean
