I'll be trying to publish my promised 'travel guide' to the Iron Cross (how to get there, where to stay etc.,) later on this evening. In the meantime here's a bit of a taster.
Mark Laser and the YBR gang are very good at what might be called the 'domestic' aspects of organisation - i.e. the little things that make the difference between a great event and one you can hardly recall riding the following week.
Every starter at the Iron Cross (aka 'IC') gets a goody bag of stuff including a most excellent T-shirt. I haven't seen this year's version yet, but it'll be good, and last year's was actually a wicking undervest with the race logo etc., rather than just the usual cheap generic cotton Tee...
And, every finisher gets of pair of IC socks just like these. Surely on their own, worth a 3500 mile flight?
I'll be wearing mine to ride the Three Peaks (only 4 weeks to go folks!) so if you want a preview of this epitome of socky elegance try and spot me at the Vets / Ladies / Junior start at Helwith Bridge on September 28th.

Jebbster wears his at almost every cross race which is very irritating as they look like school socks on him amd don't go with his kit.
