Hi Ian,

I just posted a couple of my images from last year's 3Peaks. My first time there and I brought the weather from down south! This year I'm hoping for the usual gloom to make some moodier stuff. Bring it on! I am aiming shoot an extreme cross feature for Rouleur magazine. The 3Peaks and Isle of Mull are in the bag. Ironcross and Crossvegas left to go....


Cheers

Geoff

Without doubt (but I'm biased) these are the two premier one-day 'Cross events on the planet.

The Three Peaks (held in Yorkshire on the last weekend of September) is also one of the most tricky to get a place in now - because of demand, though I understand entries for the Mt. Washington Hill Climb close out in minutes - at least it takes a couple of days for the Three Peaks list to close...

Iron Cross (held on the second Sunday in October in PA, USA) is different, and last year you could still enter on the day. This year, despite the entry possibly being increased from the current 300 max', it's likely that it's growing popularity will see entries close well before the start.

I've ridden and finished 14 x Three Peaks and 3 x Iron Cross...

Anyone out there who's interested in info about either race, please feel free to contact me either here or on my private account:-
