On the 3 peaks podium...?

3 Peaks Cyclo Cross 2011, originally uploaded by Phil Haygarth.

Well a photo on the podium .... but not that we deserved it. We have just done the 3 peaks and this year is was a special one, 3 peaks with four cousins competing, with Mark (from New Zealand) and Adrian (from Southampton) joining old timers Dave and I. It was a special family event with all 4 finishing, despite various adventures - you can read all about it on their own blogs...

By the way the chap on the right is our mutual mate Steve Riley - Dave was not available cause he was on his way to casualty - but you can read about that on his blog.

Last week I was lucky enough to travel to Beijing on business, accompanied by my friend and colleague Richard Bardgett, among others. Here are a few pictures of a trip to the great wall after the meeting, an inspirational place.
