29th May 2010 This week saw us pass the milestone of 100,000km run (in other words 20,000 5k results recorded in the 106 events so far). The cool, showery weather while not ideal for the organisers provided good conditions for a quick 5k workout before heading for the cafe. Despite racing…
31st May 2010 It's never as easy as it looks running round a flat park and yesterday seemed particularly hard work. A PW for me by some distance as I proved that 3 races in a weekend doesn't work. A good showing by the rest of the Wilmslow team with…
A couple of new additions to the photo album on the left : Mobberley trail race Chester half Nick.
We received the attached letter from UHSM thanking us for the donation made following the club events in Sue's memory. Clearly Sue was not just 'another patient', but made a strong impression on the nursing staff, and is well-remembered by them.

A slightly delayed posting because of the lack of mobile phone signal at John O'Groats! The last day was also the toughest, with 5 hours of continuous rain and a strong headwind. The A99, the final road before John O'Groats, is also quite hilly, with several 10 degree climbs lasting…
I got last night's post slightly wrong, they were actually at Port Appin, which is well North of Oban, and in a spectacularly remote part of the Scottish West coast facing onto the Sound of Mull. Today was also very successful, with a fantastic ride by Loch Ness. They had…
22nd May 2010 Stuart combined his recent form on the hills (Killer Mile) and flat (Christleton) to claim a well deserved victory at Bramhall. I never quite got away from him on the flatter sections and he was always back at me on the hills. As we crested the last…
Today must have been a success, because the team made the 120 miles planned and stopped close to Oban. It probably didn't feel so wonderful, as the weather was, in Paul's words "absolutely shocking", with driving rain and very low temperatures making feet feel like blocks of ice. The sun came…
After possibly the hardest day yet, the team arrived in Irvine, a few miles further than the Kilmarnock target. The 120 mile journey fought a headwind the whole way, with some rain on crossing the border (which did not prevent the traditional 'crossing' photographs!). However, they are maintaining excellent progress, well ahead…
