The 2010 3 Peaks race is well documented on honourary Belgian Dave Haygarth's (seen below) seminal Peaks blog so I won't repeat anything here. My own take on the whole rocky affair can be found here too.
Suffice to say there were lots of photographers and spectators out on Sunday, and lots of shots aimed at, shouts shouted toward and general love for, the Belgians. Dunc would have been proud to hear it all.....
So here is my own little selection of piccies of me (Alan), Rich Allen, G, Richard Knowles and Simon Fox - missing in the thick of it are Winkie who shunned a Belgian strip for some reason (tut tut) and Simon Nurse who rode in green but rocked the team windjacket after. We were aided and abetted by Mark Turner, Jo Hanglebads and Mark Bradley and Gemma Nurse. And probably others whom I didnt get to see on the day. A massive thank you to all the helpers as it really makes all the difference on a logistically complex event like this.
Going back to the images, superb shots in particular can be found from the Belgian friendly Cheryl King and Richard Seipp both of whom are represented below.
As he did in the race, winner Rob Jebb (1st shot below) leads us up the impossibly steep first climb and into the fun:
nice selection there Al.
ReplyDeleteI don't look best impressed and now wish I'd shaved
A Great selection of shots, reminding me of the pain and pleasure of the Peaks! Great to catch up with you all. Evelyn enjoyed herself particularly; loving the 'little cycling man' on the top and indulging heavily on Jo's cake. Roll on next year.
