We’d just like to say we’re very happy that Nick Craig has won the 2009 Three Peaks Cyclocross race 🙂
In a closely fought race from the off, Nick and seven times winner Rob Jebb were neck and neck coming off Ingleborough and it wasn’t until the final descent that Nick took the lead, holding it all the way back to the finish at Helwith Bridge.
This is Nicks second time as 3 Peaks winner, the first being in 1991.
Nice one Nick.
Nick is such a refreshing change from aloof inaccessible sportsmen. I was in North West Mountain Bikes on Thursday – he went out of his way to hold the door open whilst I wheeled my crippled bike in. He was just an ordinary bloke performing a basic daily courtesy, but I recognised him as a legend in my world… There was none of that “Do you know who I am?” attitude (even though I did know who he was), although that doesn’t really seem to afflict mountain bikers, does it?
