A lovely change to run on a dry sunny day. This new race is a real cracker with lots of fast running and a big climb in the middle all in all 9 miles and 1300ft. Starting near Hollingsworth lake, the route took us over the M62 and onto a circuit around the pennine bridleway and the pennine way with a bit of hopping and jumping over Blackstone Edge. A few whipper-snappers up front but Jon Morgan and I ground a few down by the end to finish 4th and 5th respectively. Austin sprinted in a few minutes back for a decent team performance - only to be beaten by CLM on aggregate time - I think we would have won on added positions. Pie and peas for £2 and decent ale at the bar finished off a good day out.
