Rivington Pike Race – 3.25 miles 700ft ascent This race seems to be a must do fixture after our debut here last year as James is a good climber and excellent downhill ( definately does not get the latter from me!!!). James managed to come third and knock 30 secs off…

Spen 20, Sunday 14th March It has taken a week for the final results of the Spen 20 to be posted – about the same time it has taken me to recover! I knew it wasn't going to be pleasant when Phill laughed nervously at the map of the course &…
13th March 2010 It is still a bit cold at 9am but with the recent dry weather the parkrun action is hotting up and it is a great way to get a bit of fun speed training into your weekend. It is still too early for Simon Fenton who failed…
