Thought about it in the past, but not ridden any cross for about 4 years now (bike gathering dust in garage)
I know quite a few who do ride it each year, some have 15+ outings on it (such as my near namesake, who used to be in the GB cross-squad)
Rob Jebb holds the record for number of wins at 8!!!, he's also won the fell-race 4 times!!!
(Tim Gould won CX 5 times)
Still, it's probably easier to get into than the 'Three-Peaks Fell-Race', as you need to have run/finished certain distances/severities of races before your entry form is even put on the list
Sadly, I've not had the opportunity to even try for qualifiers, due to injuries this past 2 years (chipped Femur/left knee issues last year, & Plantar Fasciitis this year)
If I'm fit next year, I'll have a good push for a place, got to do it before I'm 50 (that's 2015)

I have a problem that whenever I enter an event something major happens to so I can't do it. This year entered Lakeland Trails marathon in Coniston July 7th.......Entry defered to 2014 due to posterior tibial tendon. Seen specialist and now going for an MRI.
March, entered Cartmel 18k trail run and ended up stuck working away and unable to get flight home.......Few years ago entered Great North Swim in Windermere.....cancelled due to Blue Green alge, following year was working away again and could not get time off.
Maybe this is the one I will finally get to do if I ever got accepted ????

I am so going to bust this race wide open! Erm.... in 2021!
I might just be coming up Pen-Y-Ghent by then
Now, I am not sure if @dan_bo did ride the 3 Peaks, but has anyone heard from him since Sunday? Is he still on Pen-y-Ghent?
We need an answer!
Any other nutters? The contingent from our club all survived, and are now in that post-hallucinogenic state, where they are all talking about how much fun it was and how they really want to do it again

It didn't go well. At least i didn't break my hip like that poor sod did on cold cotes. That is all.
