Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I think I said this a short while back: people who insist on touring in the winter, especially if it is in the UK, have no business complaining about cancellations. If you roll those particular dice then you will lose sometimes.

Edinburgh was on today with a couple of icy bits, but was ok. If it had been yesterday there was a very heavy frost and would likely have been off.

You were unlucky to find icy bits, @Bazoaxe I ran it in zero grip shoes and didn’t have any trouble.

Icy maybe overstates it. A little bit at the turn which I ran wide to avoid and then another just as you enter the top path at finish. I was in an old worn pair of zoomflys so grip is dubious.

I did find it challenging with an east wind on the way out and I didn’t have enough to take advantage on way home.

lol at the RD number checking his 150th RD

On New Year's Day I had a local wanting to hear whether we were definitely on so he knew if it was worth him getting out of bed for!

It's February and we live in the UK, it's highly likely events will be cancelled at the last minute.

We had a fair bit of black ice, even in trail shoes it was slippy. Then the snow started half way round, wasn't expected.

First visit to Sutton Manor today. On the site of a former coal mine and with a mahoosive sculpture at the centre of it. Plus about 130m of climbing on some sharp hills. A very enjoyable experience that the 70 or so of us ran; St Helens doesn't generally have much to recommend it, but that event is well worth a visit.
