A few miles out of Leek is the small village of Cheddleton which each year stages this popular event .
A three lap 10k race with some hill climbs , undulating stretches and a couple of sharp down hills.
Bitterly cold but credit to the council who had gritted the course .

Who is that sinister looking chap in the dark glasses that seems to be shadowing Rob Gilbert for most of the race?
