Halesowen Summer Midweek course quite though so if it follows similar tracks with all this rain should be a good one.

I would guess they want to concentrate on staying in toe Premier Division of the more prestigious Birmingham league Have you got a Midlands fixture in Jan, would mean XC every week wouldn't it? I only have one free weekend (we do the champs).

thesteadygroove Nov 2009 12:20pm, 27 Nov 2009 905 posts	Quote Pin thesteadygroove Yep, i'll be there, just been googling the location. Prefer the off-roading at the mo as I try to re-build my fitness. What am I talking about I always prefer the off road stuff but at the moment it is extra special as it is kinder to my legs then the road stuff.

Sloggerian Nov 2009 12:29pm, 27 Nov 2009 1,451 posts	Quote Pin Sloggerian You are correct, there do appear to be two - one this weekend and one in Jan - this weekend is 7 miles as opposed to the normal 10k midlandathletics.org.uk Oh well, the more the merrier
