OPINION
David survives the 3 Peaks CX. Just...
How hard is the legendary 3 Peaks cyclocross race? I headed to the Yorkshire Dales last weekend to find out. And yeah it's pretty damn tough as it turns out, way harder than I ever expected it to be. But I'll let the video above tell the story. Enjoy!
David worked on the road.cc tech team from 2012-2020. Previously he was editor of Bikemagic.com and before that staff writer at RCUK. He's a seasoned cyclist of all disciplines, from road to mountain biking, touring to cyclo-cross, he only wishes he had time to ride them all. He's mildly competitive, though he'll never admit it, and is a frequent road racer but is too lazy to do really well. He currently resides in the Cotswolds, and you can now find him over on his own YouTube channel David Arthur - Just Ride Bikes.

Give it a couple of days. You'll be back. 85psi and a pair of landcruisers will sort you out!
Top stuff!
And I'm not shit-stirring but curious: Did you have to get special dispensation to film?
