Over the last few months I've had the pleasure of an exchange of emails with Barry Davies - former Professional ' Cross rider - in fact one of the UK's premier cash men of the 1970s and 3 times winner of the Three Peaks (1973, 1974 & 1975).Barry is really taken with the Iron Cross concept and had fully intended to ride the event this year.
Sadly circumstances dictate that he won't now be able to make the transatlantic trip this October, but does intend to be on the start line at Camp Thompson in 2009.
Nevertheless, all is not lost because in the meantime Barry has offered to send us some images of the Three Peaks from his halcyon days in the race - and not (he's promised) all of him!
Presumably most of these pix has never been published before, so they should be an interesting addition to the 'Peaks currently rather scant pictorial history.
Watch this space...
