A cautious ride - Sunday 12th February 2012

Still a little ice and snow on some lanes so I take it very steady. Head out on usual 14 mile route around the Lyth valley, no breaking records today but good to be out on bike again....bring on Spring.

Carnethy 5 - Saturday 11th February 2012

So a big build-up by Billy for this race and we manage to get 13 Club runners there - we travel as a Club, we run as a Club and we return as a Club - this is what it's all about.

A good day out, great race, great atmosphere. I run well but fail to finish inside 1 hour, this is now my target and I will be back again to beat this; but, I am pleased with my position in terms of those from the Club.

Full details, photos and results:


River / canal run - Friday 10th February 2012

So a little less snow and ice about today so tackle my usual lunchtime run - good to be out and the Oroc's, once again, come in useful.

Black ice day... - Thursday 9th February 2012

Black ice everywhere today....not brave enough to tackle a run or ride !

Training - Wednesday 8th February 2012

Not looking forward to this - the pavements are icy !

We head up to Horncop Lane and Kendal Green, getting there is not great ! However, once there the going is mainly ice free but we soon abandon plans to include Green Hill - we go up this once and all fear coming back down !

Again a shorter session due to Carnethy and to the conditions; however, we have been warned, normal long, hard sessions resume next week !

Scar run - Tuesday 7th February 2012

The sun is shining and snow still on the ground - a good day for a run on the Scar. Great conditions and a good run out, slightly shorter route than usual and glad of my Orocs.

Training - Monday 7th February 2012

So snow still on the ground but, actually, conditions pretty good. A slight crust, then a couple of inches of snow - slightly harder work but not slippery - still, as a precaution, wear my Orocs.

The sky is clear, a very bright moon and chilly !

A shorter session - Shaun and Billy wanting us all to run well at Carnethy on Saturday !
