Can anyone recommend any good socks that aren't horrifically expensive? Anyone use the ultralight (as opposed to the light that i have) and are they any good?
My road shoes are Brooks Ghost. I’ve done 850km in them and they still feel good. Very cushioned but not too sponge-bob-square-pants. I’ll just get another pair as they’re so incredibly comfortable and have worn well. I’ve tried some other road shoes recently and they all feel different. Personally I’d be pretty reluctant to buy a shoe I’ve never tried before online (though I guess you can return them).
Entries have opened for the Burbage skyline, pre-entry only this year (wtf). Race is 7.30pm, 8th of May.
Anyone else doing Kinder Downfall? I'm going to recce on Sunday.

If you see a couple of Totley vests (green with a white stripe), it's probably me and the missus so come and say hello.
Great little run in the Lakes midweek on the Grisedale Grind. Weather closed in and snowing from teatime so they shortened the route, took as around the forest a bit and then only halfway up the regular ridge route. One of the harder 2 and a bit miles I've done. Result not flattering - only the fitter end of the field seemed to turn up. Don't think I've ever raced proper winter conditions. Brill.
Could the new route be any more contrived? I'll probably go and watch this year as I'm racing the Sunday after. Maybe the Carl Wark bog could provide some amusing moments?
