And then there were………………………………… nine!!!

Sadly, mummy duck lost one of her little balls of yellow fluff last night and now only has three. However, mummy with ten still has nine of her ducklings, they are somewhat bigger than our others so were obviously born earlier and of course now a lot more agile.

The Rossendale Triathlon was on this weekend with over 200 competitors, all exciting stuff. Starting at 9am at Marl Pitts swimming pool the contestants started with 400m swim, 20k bike ride and 5km run. As the cycle race included the length of Burnley Road East I fully intended to have some colourful pics of 200 cyclists riding by, however in a triathlon we just wouldn’t have all 200 competitors cycling past at once, doh!!!! So here is a snapshot of just one dedicated competitor. We hope Derek and Carol Sinkinson from Cumbria enjoyed the event as they both looked very determined and fit when they left us. I envy you all the commitment, drive and energy! For all you running diehards keep in touch with up and coming events. And for those of you that want to keep up with events at Marl Pitts

Leaflets have now been printed and distributed for the Adrenalin Live weekend. Adrenalin Live is a celebration of adrenalin sport, it is completely free to spectators and promises to be an exciting adrenalin filled weekend with skiing, snowboarding, waterskiing and mountain biking. The events will be held at Ski Rossendale, Whitworth Waterski and Lee Quarry with categories from 10 yrs to 50yrs+.

In addition to the adrenalin events there will be lots of extras happening; equipment demonstrations, mountain bike skills workshops and lots more.

The closing date for entries is 7th July so people really need to be thinking about this seriously if they want to enter.

Cutting edge music from Oli Brown Band and Chantel McGregor on Saturday evening will be supporting the event.
