I’ve put my entry in and 1st time CX for me as I’ve done the fell race twice, really hoping this might be a little bit easier but I doubt it.
Fingers crossed I’m accepted.

Hopefully 4th time for me!

Yes, got my entry in a couple of days ago – guaranteed place cos I marshalled at the Bradford CX.

Suppose I’d best start thinking about doing some running again…

If i get in it will be my first bike race in 2 years. Which is when i last did it. This year will be my 6th.
I think its harder than the run! 😕

Me – third effort to get sub 4 hr.
Running you say?

It helps lots if your name is Nick Craig or Rob Jebb. Other than that, they select a range of ages, abilities etc and a balance between those who’ve done it before and first timers.

There are two ways to get a definite entry:
be a Three Peaks winner
marshal the previous years Bradford National Trophy CX

I took the easier option of marshalling. 😉

Myself and a pal have entered and we’d both be first timers….in fact we’d both have to buy or borrow cross bikes! Fingers crossed. When do we find out?

Whispers…. me…. gulp…

On a lighter note, anyone in the Calder Valley ish area up for a long CX ride this weekend? Don’t want to do the Mary T again so trying to put together a few other loops around about that distance.

And, is anyone doing the Hell of the West? (http://www.hellofthewest.co.uk/)

There’s lots of “Private Members” on there – the general term for BC Members not associated with any club. I did my first 2 Three Peaks races under my old cycle club but I’m not a member of any club now, it hasn’t affected my entry for the last 2 or 3 years.

Oh god, I’ve applied too.

Anyone want to ride/ run/ push/ carry/ mop up my blood round Airedale/ Wharfedale?

I’m missing it this year to do THE three peaks instead on a CX bike, Snowdon, Sca Fell then Nevis and “yes” I know that Sca Fell does not have a bridleway to the top..that’s what me shoulders are for.

I have entered and marshalled the Bradford cx to make sure I get in

Me to!

Moi aussi

Yep, just confirmed my entry too.

Just had my invite too, can’t wait 😀

Woop woop! See you all in Helwith in September, hopefully the weather’ll be a bit better than last year, but probably not…

I’ve got one you can take up three fells (if you time it right)?

I’m in but my jaw dropped at the entrance fee (£53). I’ve done it the last few years and I’m sure it wasn’t quite this expensive.

Ahh buttocks…..I got in again 🙁
