Next stop is Nottingham on 10th September, unless anyone has any plans to run a mid-summer marathon

Congratulations to Tracey and Sam, first and second in 28 degrees at Thirsk.  Surely they'll move it to the morning next year?

Tracey also featured in the Yorkshire Evening Post on Wednesday, opening a new I.T. room at Wigton Moor Primary School.  She was pictured cutting the ceremonial ribbon and then receiving a demonstration from one of the 11 year old pupils.  "I am probably the world's worst person on a computer.  I get my training programme from UK Athletics and haven't a clue how to reply to them", she said.

Climbing with Hilary
 
Harry Bates has written a wonderful story about Hilary, it is worth reading even if you never knew Hilary or don't know Harry.  The climbing in question is from Arthington to Bramhope up Creskeld Lane and I'm sure many of you know that!   http://valleystriders.org.uk/hilaryhb.htm
 
Hutch is 49 years and 51 weeks old on June 27th
 
He writes:
 
Please can I order pie and baked beans for the handicap race.
 
The event will be one week before my 50th and as attendance will be highest on 27th rather than 4th July I would like to buy everyone there a drink to celebrate.
 
Please can you put the message out as it will be a further incentive to be there that evening.
 
Club handicap on June 27th
 
Prior to "Drinking with Alan" will be the "Trail" Handicap, first runner off at 7pm prompt from down by the Reservoir - the start is in front of the lodge.
 
Route is clockwise, along the field edge, over the stile, across the field to Eccup, turn right onto the road, through the village, turn left just before the farm, zig-zag to Emmerdale, turn right, back to the water treatment works, across, the dam, along the reservoir-side path and finish as usual by the gate.  Map at  http://valleystriders.org.uk/hcaptrl.jpg
 
Pie and peas (and drinks with Alan) back at Leos afterwards, please place your orders by Sunday evening (25th) stating whether you'd like meat pie or vegetarian pie and whether you'd like mushy peas or baked beans

Pulse Race - June 25th
 
Thanks to everyone who has volunteered, we'll let you know details in the next day or so
 
We do need two more Striders to help from 07:00 to 09:00 to lay out the route, putting out warning signs and kilometre markers. 
 
So if you couldn't help because you were doing something in the morning (such as a long Sunday run!), then maybe you can help for just 2 hours and you've the rest of the day free
 
Please!
