Julie the mighty Dinsdale leaves for NYC on Wednesday to compete in the Iron Cross, a US version of the three peaks cross.
It's 100 km with 2000m of climbing.
From the website: Iron Cross
This isn't a dirt road race nor a mountain bike race - it is a course that favors a 'cross rider on a 'cross bike. The race will start and end with a lap with barriers at Camp Thompson and you might run into some barriers at spots along the course to remind you that it's a 'cross race. Bring your climbing legs. The course is mostly fire-roads with some trails interspersed. The trails may contain sections where you will want to get off your 'cross bike and run, but for the most part will be 'cross bikeable. There are three run-ups. "Run-up" is a term used loosely and very open to interpretation.
Blog: Alicia Parr that's her in the picture with the mahoosive iron cross, I want one!!
Good luck JD bring your Iron Cross to Dorking for us to see when you get back.

Apologies for the hijack ;-)
Kaye is very strong, I think Thetford probably suits her very well. She put in some very quick laps. No mention of swrc tho';-)
