wilts country champs are combined with somerset and avon this year. i am slightly concerned because it uses the same course at bath uni that the gwent league use. last months event was cancelled due to health and safety issues!!!!!!!!
but i hope to be there for my first xc of 2010!

XC race two for me on Sunday. Woodland with bits of tarmac so no spikes. I bought them months ago and still haven't had chance to wear them yet :(

Gave my Spikes away the other week, never really used them much to be honest, Run in inov8s and love them, clocked up over 500 offroad miles in them this year and only fallen on my face once :)

I do all my off road runs (Woodland and Moors mainly) in inov8s and am also a little bit in love with them. I'm beginning to regret my spikes purchase....

I quite liked the spikes to be honest just never really got round to wearing them and couldnea be bothered with the actual spikes and keys and stressing which length ofto ewaer (is it a 6mm or 9 mm courseoh the choices !!ll ) and all that marlarchy. way too fiddly for someone as disorganised as me as I have enough trouble remembering to pack my shorts for a race let alone spike accesories :)
