Tynedale Jelly Tea Race

Sunday, September 6, 2009

Barrie Evans

Thirteen Striders took to the startline including, it was very good to see, seven of the newer female members plus super veteran Jackie Smith, and Maggie Thompson on a recovery run following her recent illness. It was grey and overcast at the start and a light but welcome drizzle came on early in the race. The long hill out of Corbridge seems to get longer as each year passes and the killer short but very sharp and tough climb at 9 miles could be done without coming near the end as it does when reserves and energy are near exhausted !! In between the route follows quiet country roads as it snakes from Hexham through Corbridge and on to the finish inside the school gates at Ovingham. Mike Bennett led the Striders home with Kirsty Dykes, after an excellent run, first for the women. A sandwich, cake, a cup of jelly and a hot drink were very welcome at the end.
