The 3 Peaks CX Race. After 3 years supporting Mrs S in the race we volunteered to Marshall. Posted to Gill Garth, the final gate to Simon Fell. You have to see it to believe it, riders cling on to the hill as they climb to the summit of Ingleborough.
My Three Peaks Cyclocross bike:
Stock Ritchey Swisscross Disc frame/fork, custom paint and decals.
36X34 low gear.
Bontrager San Marco made Ti rail saddle I’ve been riding since 97′.

A little comment has tipped me over the edge. It's funny how some races get under your skin. I'm heading back to my 7th #3peakscx this year. It's almost 2 months away but I'm already checking I have details sorted. I'm not suitably fit. I don't know what bike I'm riding, or what wheels. At least I've got time to stress over the big bits.

Many accounts of this year's 3 Peaks Cyclocross race are coming out left, right and centre. Dave Haygarth is doing a superb job at linking to the many blogs, videos and photo galleries covering the event. Check out http://3pcx.blogspot.com/ for getting inspired.
There is even a report compiled by John covering the Peaks from the team's perspective. See http://www.biketreksracing.com/biketreks-racing-team-tackle-the-3-peaks
But, how was it for me? TOUGH. The results don't lie. 5h11min. I was slow, very slow. However, off-road riding has never been my forte. The lack of experience was obvious. To be quite honest, I can't imagine completing his without having put some hours of Peaks specific training.
Road sections: Brilliant. In my element. Ridable Off-road sections : Not too bad. Grovelling up unridable sections up the fells? VERY VERY SLOW. Descents: VERY VERY SLOW.
Difficult to comprehend this race really. It's unique. Did I enjoy myself? mmm... I'd say enjoyment is a strong word. It was an interesting journey in discovering new sets of aching muscles. The question is will I do it again? most definitely. I am eating my words as I was adamant that it would be a one-off.
The 3 Peaks bug has been caught. Ingleborough, Whernside, Pen-Y-Ghent: See you all next year.
