The inaugural running of Boz's Birthday run, postponed by snow in February, was run on a balmy summers evening and it was well worth the wait. Three proper climbs, with the hardest saved until last, plenty of route choice across the plateau followed by the best running descent off Kinder to finish makes this a welcome addition to the collection of excellent Dark Peak races.
The Strava Flyby makes interesting viewing. Tom Saville's winning line the pink one.
