Bradford Millennium Way Relay
I think teams are all
arranged for the Calderdale Way Relay so the next relay team event in which we
always compete is the Bradford Millennium Way Relay on Sunday 16 June.
This is teams of 5 pairs, total 50 miles, all within Bradford City Council
boundary, but nowhere near Bradford, details at http://tinyurl.com/BMW-Relay . Route starts
and finishes at Bingley Rugby Club, and goes via Marsh (near Oxenhope),
Laycock, Silsden and Ilkley.
We won the mixed team
prize from 2002 to 2005 and the vets in 2006, it would be good to get back in
the prize list again. And if we could get 3 teams (30 runners) this year
it would be a sound base of knowledge for next year, so the first 10 who apply
get a guaranteed place.
Please email [email protected] if you’d like to
run.

Message from Andy
Stoneman
Hi There
We are now doing some mid-week cycling to complement Valley Striders training.
Our first ride-out was last Wednesday (3rd). We had 7 riders - Dan,
Greg, Ged, Stuart, Tracey, Liz and me.
We met on Street Lane and we took a steady ride of just under 30 miles around
Otley, Leathley and Weeton before returning home up Harewood bank and back
through Wike just as it was turning dark. Everyone enjoyed themselves although
it did get rather chilly in the last 30 minutes.
For those wanting to join next time we will be meeting Wednesday eve (10th
April) at 6pm for a c30 mile ride. We’ll meet on Street Lane by American Golf
and we'll be back for 8-8.30ish.
Please wear helmets, gloves etc and lights will still be needed as it gets
darkish 7.45/8. It also helps if you’re on road bikes and bring a small tool
kit and spare tube.
It won't be too fast - maybe 15-17mph av - we'll keep the group together.
Let me know if you're interested. Please respond to [email protected]
You may have seen the Valley Striders kit on display on the Valley Striders
website. Since we had the first batch done we’ve had loads of requests for more
kit of folk. So, due to demand we’ll be doing a re-order this month. We need to
order 13 items or more for the prices attached, so if we don’t make this
quantity we may have to delay the order. The kit takes 3 weeks for
print/delivery so to make the most of the overdue spring weather lets get this
order in soon. I’m setting an order deadline of 16th April. For
enquiries email [email protected]

Ilkley
Ian Sanderson has
emailed – “It's the Makem marathon for me; I'll be goose-stepping out
from the Stadium of Light on the 28th. I'm sort of tapering for the Woldsman on
the 13th (eating Easter eggs is a form of carb loading, isn't it?) and will
then just see what happens in Sunderland (we're visiting friends in North
Shields, so it won't be a completely wasted trip regardless). Hoping I can
remember how to run quickly first at the Hartlepool Marina 5 this Sunday”.

Fell Championship
Steve emailed “League updated to include Heptonstall. There seems to have
been a good turnout and some good performances: Malcolm was first V70 of
course. By now we should have also had Stan Bradshaw Pendle Round, Edale
Skyline and Midgley Moor but nobody went to SB, and Edale and Midgley were both
cancelled.”

Race Reports
South Yorkshire Half
Marathon from Gary Mann
A quick race report
on the South Yorkshire Half Marathon which took place Sunday 17th March. After
the disappointment of the Brass Monkey cancellation, Sarah quickly scoured
Yorkshire to find another half marathon, and so we entered the South Yorkshire
which took place around Goldthorpe, Barnsley. Only in its 3rd year, 240 odd
people lined up for a 2 lap course, hilly in nature, with the most significant
incline at miles 3 and 11.
Despite limited
support on the course, the field thinning out very quickly and a bit of a chill
in the air, we both managed to smash our PBs by several minutes.
Gary Mann 1'25.24 (26th)
Sarah Howell 1'52.23 (144th)
246 ran winner 1'13.32
Yorkshire
Vets XC from Steve Webb
Brief
report from the Yorkshire Vets XC at the very pleasant venue of Wentworth
Castle near Barnsley. The course was 10k of undulating parkland
over 4 laps; altitude being lost gradually after the start and then regained
suddenly in a stiff climb at the end of each lap. No sign of the deer
herd en route round the course but the underfoot conditions were back to normal
XC after the horrendous morass of the National.
Thanks to
Jerry and Roy who responded in the affirmative to my request for V50 runners so
we had a scoring team. V50 results were:

So a
silver medal for me and the team was only denied a bronze on countback.
The V35 to V45 men ran a separate race, but on exactly the same
course. My time would have been good enough for 2nd in V35,
only 4th in V40, but first in V45. Not sure what that proves!
