A friend of mine, from my former CX days (who I still see, but at fell-races) was 58th;
Phil Hinchcliffe (Holmfirth CC) - his 27th consecutive ride!!!

I couldn't find a bookies that was covering the 3pcx. Wanted to put a tenner on Tim Gould for top six.



He came in fifth.

I must admit, I've not seen the full results yet, but that's a damned good performance from Tim (again!)

I know of Phils position, from FaceBook

That slope again.

Is this your photo? It's awesome. I'd planned to do this event in 2016 but this is inspiring.

Love it.

Yeah that's my photo. Was spectating.



You wouldn't believe how out of breath you get.

Put myself forward for marshalling this year with a view to getting back in for next year.

And that's me marshalling the cold cotes exit. Anyone needs a bottle passing up let me know.

Yes, but it is 36 miles, not an hours race around parkland/woods
